Key takeaways

• We only use your data for what you ask Qiu to do.
• It is never sold, never used for advertising and never used to train generalised AI models.
• From Profile you can export everything or delete your account whenever you like.

What Qiu is

Qiu is an AI assistant that works for you through its app at https://meetqiu.com, Telegram and email: it reads and drafts emails, manages your calendar, documents and tasks, and reminds you of what's pending. It only accesses what you connect, and you can disconnect it at any time.

What data we process

• Your name, your email address and your Telegram ID.
• The messages you exchange with your assistant and the details you ask it to remember.
• Data from the services you connect (for example Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Tasks, Notion or GitHub), only when the assistant needs it for a task you ask for.
• The items you keep in your safe (encrypted).
• What you share in the app if you use those features: your location when you send it (the history is kept for 90 days), your voice notes (turned into text so they can be understood), the photos and files you upload, what you post in Community and the record of the purchases you authorise.

Use of Google data

Qiu's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular:

• Google data is only used to provide the assistant features you request: a task you ask for, or the notifications about your email and calendar, which you can turn off in Profile › Alerts and preferences.
• It is not used to develop, improve or train AI models, ours or anyone else's, and it is only transferred to the providers listed under «Who it is shared with», to provide the feature you request.
• It is not sold, not used for advertising and not used to train generalised AI models.
• No person reads it, except with your explicit consent, for security reasons or where the law requires it.
• The content of your emails and documents is not stored permanently: it is fetched through the API when needed, and only what appears in your conversation with the assistant is kept, which you can delete from the app at any time. Disconnecting Google revokes access immediately.

The use of information received from Google Workspace scopes will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is never used to develop, improve or train generalised or non-personalised AI/ML models, is never sold, and is never used for advertising.

Use of Instagram and Meta data

If you connect an Instagram professional account (Business or Creator), Qiu receives the permissions you accept on Instagram's own consent screen. Qiu uses each one only for what you ask, and every action that writes something (sending a message, replying to or hiding a comment, publishing) is shown to you on a card first and happens only after you press Confirm.

• instagram_business_basic: your username, profile and your posts, to tell you what is on your account.
• instagram_business_manage_messages: to read the direct messages people send your account and to send the reply you approve. Only within the 24 hours Meta allows.
• instagram_business_manage_comments: to read the comments on your posts and to publish, reply to or hide a comment you choose.
• instagram_business_content_publish: to publish the photo, carousel or reel you ask for, with the caption you approve.
• instagram_business_manage_insights: to read your reach, views, interactions and best posts, and answer questions about how your account is doing.

What we keep: the access token, sealed and encrypted, until you disconnect, and the conversation you have with Qiu (including what Instagram data appears in it), under the retention periods below. We do not copy your followers, your messages or your comments into any other database, we do not sell them, we do not use them for advertising and we do not use them to train AI models. Instagram data is processed by the house AI (Claude, through Anthropic's API) only to answer you.

How to disconnect and delete: in Profile you can disconnect Instagram at any time, which erases the connection and its access token. You can also remove Qiu in Instagram › Settings › Apps and websites: Meta then notifies us and we erase the connection and the token. If you ask Meta to delete your data, Qiu does it through its data deletion callback and gives you a confirmation code and a page to check it. You can also write to business@quantumventures.io. Callbacks: https://meetqiu.com/oauth/meta/deauthorize and https://meetqiu.com/oauth/meta/deletion.

Help us improve Qiu

Only if you allow it, we see how the app is used: the screens you open, where you tap, how you move around and the errors that appear. We do it with our own tool (OpenReplay) on our server in the European Union, with no third party involved. We do not see your messages or Qiu's replies, nor anything you type in any field, nor passwords, keys, cards, emails or numbers (what is kept is a screen with all the content masked), and the app's requests are kept without their content. It is the same for everyone, in the EU too, and it only starts when you say yes. You can change it at any time in Profile, under Alerts and preferences. What is kept for this is deleted after 30 days.

Where it is stored and how it is protected

On servers in the European Union. The access tokens to your services and the safe are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The assistant does not see the passwords in the safe. Qiu acts on its own on what you ask, without waiting for you to confirm each step, and every action goes into your action log (what it did and how it went, without the content). You can stop it at any time and what can be reversed can be undone from that log. If you ask for just a draft, nothing is sent, and if a message carries health data, it shows it to you first. It also shows you first a payment, anything that moves money in your bank or ad account, a sales email, sharing a chat or project with someone else, and whatever an email or a third-party website asks it to do, and it only goes ahead if you accept. Purchases it makes for you never exceed the spending limits you set.

What each permission is for

Qiu only uses a connection when it needs it for something you ask, or for the alerts you have switched on. You can remove any of them whenever you like:

How long things are kept

• Conversation and what the assistant remembers: until you delete them from Profile or delete the account.
• Location: 90 days.
• Voice notes in the app: the audio is deleted one day after it is turned into text; the text stays.
• Action log: 90 days, only what Qiu did and how it went.
• Qiu's steps (which tool it used and an encrypted summary of what it returned, so it can check what it tells you): 30 days; for your Google emails and documents only their size, never their content. Also wiped when you delete your data.
• “Help us improve Qiu” (only if you said yes): 30 days.
• Google emails and documents: not stored; only what appears in your conversation remains.
• Backups in your Drive (if you turn them on): they are in your Google Drive and you delete them.
• Deleted account: 30 days to restore it; after that everything is erased, except what the law requires us to keep (such as invoices) and only for as long as it requires. All the steps are in Delete your data.

Who it is shared with

With the providers needed to run the service: Anthropic (Claude), which processes your messages. Your Google account data (Gmail, Drive, Calendar) is processed by the house AI, Claude through Anthropic's API, and does not go to any other AI provider, unless you connect your own Gemini (Google) and turn on sharing your Google data with it: then it goes to your Gemini, under your own terms with Google. If you connect your own AI (your Claude account, your OpenAI/ChatGPT key, your Google Gemini, or your OpenRouter key), your messages that do not carry Google data go to that account under your own terms with that provider; we recommend keeping model training on your data turned off there. Telegram and WhatsApp (Kapso) are the messaging channels, and GoHighLevel and Resend carry the assistant's email, only the notifications. Voice-note transcription, search in your documents and the bridge to the Google APIs run on our own server in the European Union, with no third parties. Apart from the ones you connect yourself, we use no other AI provider. Also, depending on what you use: OpenStreetMap (Nominatim and its routing service) receives the coordinates and addresses you type, to locate them; Stripe processes plan payments; SerpApi receives hotel, flight and map searches; and the services you connect receive only what you ask the assistant to do with them. We don't share it with anyone else.
