Maya Assistant

Privacy policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

This is the plain-English version of how Maya handles data when someone runs their own copy. Maya is a personal, open-source WhatsApp assistant — not a shared service run by Coding Moves.

What Maya processes

Maya handles messages and supported media from the groups her owner deliberately adds her to, messages the owner sends privately, and the tasks and reminders she creates. If the owner turns them on, Maya can also use VU Classic To Do and Google Calendar data.

When Gemini is switched on, Maya sends only the relevant group text or supported media to Google Gemini so it can find tasks or help with the owner's private question. Please do not add Maya to a group unless its members are comfortable with that.

How data is used

That information is used to do Maya's job: spot deadlines, send reminders, answer her owner privately, remember things the owner asks her to save, and — if enabled — work with Calendar events. Maya stays quiet in groups.

Where data is stored

Maya keeps her database, WhatsApp session, and optional credentials on the computer or server chosen by the owner. Coding Moves does not run a shared Maya database and does not receive a copy of messages, tasks, credentials, or Calendar data through this website.

Google Calendar

Calendar access is optional and starts only when the owner says yes on Google's consent screen. Maya uses it to create, update, or remove events for her tasks and to read upcoming events for private reminders. She keeps a small local cache of upcoming event details. If the owner asks a Calendar question, the relevant cached details may be included in a Google Gemini request to help write the answer. Maya does not sell Calendar data or use it for advertising. The owner can remove Calendar access any time from their Google Account permissions.

Sharing and retention

Maya does not sell personal data or use it for advertising. She may send data to the services the owner chose — for example WhatsApp, Google Gemini, Google Calendar, and a hosting provider — only when it is needed to run that owner's copy. The owner can delete the local database, revoke Google access, or remove Maya from groups at any time.

Security

The owner is responsible for looking after their server, environment file, backups, and device access. API keys, WhatsApp session files, LMS credentials, and Calendar tokens should stay private. We do our best to build carefully, but no internet service can promise perfect security.
