TRMNL Digest home

Privacy Policy

TRMNL Digest is a personal automation operated by the owner of this project. It creates a short digest for the operator's TRMNL display; it is not offered as a service to the public.

Information accessed

When configured and run, the automation accesses selected recent Gmail messages using Google's Gmail API with the gmail.readonly scope. It also looks for a recent Schoology daily-summary email. It reads calendar events from calendar subscription links supplied by the operator and reads reminders maintained in the project. Calendar links may be publicly accessible to anyone who has the link.

The information processed can include message sender, recipient, date, subject and excerpts from message bodies; school assignment details in the summary email; calendar event titles, times and locations; and reminder text. Gmail access is read-only: the automation cannot send, delete, or modify messages.

How information is used and shared

The automation sends selected email, school-summary, calendar, and reminder content to Anthropic's Claude to create the digest. It sends the resulting digest to the operator's TRMNL private plugin. The automation runs through GitHub Actions, which receives the configured credentials and processes the data while a workflow runs. A manually requested dry run can include digest output and school-summary text in the workflow log.

The project does not operate a separate database of this information. Data may be processed or retained by Google, GitHub, Anthropic, Apple/iCloud, and TRMNL under their respective policies and service settings. The operator does not sell this information or use it for advertising.

Retention and controls

Information is fetched when the automation runs and used to generate the digest. Workflow logs may contain output from a dry run and are subject to GitHub's log-retention settings. OAuth tokens and other credentials are stored as GitHub Actions secrets when the workflow is configured.

The operator can revoke the Gmail authorization at Google Account permissions, remove the workflow credentials or disable the workflow in GitHub, disable calendar sharing with the calendar provider, and remove the TRMNL plugin. Anyone with access to a shared calendar link may be able to view that calendar until sharing is disabled.

Changes

This policy should be updated if the automation's data sources, processing, or sharing practices change.
