Privacy policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

Gob is an app made by Shawn Easter in Chillicothe, Ohio. Right now it's in testing and only people we invite can sign in. This page explains what Gob collects, why, and what you can do about it.

Signing in

You sign in with your Google account. We receive your name, email address and profile picture from Google so we know who you are. We never see your Google password.

What we collect and why

• Things you add: jobs, schedules, quotes, invoices, hours, photos, notes, messages, routines and reminders, so Gob can show and manage them for you.
• Location (crew only, opt-in): only for crew who turn it on, only during work hours, to show the crew map and arrival times. You can turn it off any time.
• Bank information (only if you connect a bank): through Plaid, Gob reads balances and transactions. It can't move money. Bank sign-ins happen in Plaid's own window and Gob never sees bank passwords. See Plaid's end user privacy policy.
• Smart home devices (only if you connect them): thermostat and camera status from Google Nest, to show and control them.
• Help requests: when you send one, your device type, browser and the page you were on, so the problem can be fixed.
• Notifications: if you allow them, a notification address for your device so we can send the alerts you choose.
• Camera and microphone: only for features you turn on, like talking to Gob, "Hey Gob" listening or scanning something. You can switch them off any time in settings.

Gob's AI

When you ask Gob a question, the question and the parts of your data needed to answer it are sent to the AI service you've chosen in settings, which can be one running on your own computer. We don't use your data to train AI models. The AI service you pick has its own privacy policy, so check it before connecting one.

Where it's stored

Gob's data is kept in Google Sheets and Google Drive in the account that runs your workspace, and the app is delivered by Cloudflare. Some data is also saved on your device so Gob works offline.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your information or use it for advertising.
• We don't share it outside the services that make Gob work (Google, Cloudflare, Plaid and the AI service you choose), unless the law requires it.

Your choices

You can view and change most of your information in the app, turn off location and notifications, and disconnect banks or devices. To get a copy of your information or have it deleted, email info@easterservices.com. We'll answer within 30 days.

Children

Gob isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and let you know in the app.
