Privacy Policy

Version 3.16
Last revised on: October 5th, 2026

Leto Technology, Inc. (the "Company") is committed to maintaining robust privacy protections for its users. Our Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our Service.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Site" refers to the Company's website, which can be accessed at helloleto.com. "Service" refers to the Company's services accessed via the Site, in which users can see and keep track of tasks, calendar events, and reminders related to their family and the organizations that serve them. The terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Company. "You" refers to you, as a user of our Site or our Service. By accessing our Site or our Service, you accept our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (found here: Terms of Use), and you consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy. For a plain-English overview, see our Data Use Policy.

I. Information We Collect

We collect "Non-Personal Information" and "Personal Information." Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information we may collect, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, preferences you submit and preferences that are generated based on the data you submit and number of clicks. Personal Information includes your email address, first name, and last name, which you submit to us through the registration process at the Site.

1. Information Collection Sources

We collect information from multiple sources depending on your user type and how you interact with our Service:

a. Information You Provide Directly

  • Account registration information (email, name)
  • Family member names and details
  • Children's first names and grade levels
  • Organization names that serve your family
  • Phone number (if you opt in to SMS notifications)

b. Information from Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs)

If your organization's PTA participates in an official partnership with Leto, we may receive:

  • Parent email addresses for one-time verification
  • Verification/whitelist status to confirm community eligibility

Important: Data flows one direction only—from PTAs to Leto. We share only aggregate, anonymized analytics with PTAs, never individual user data.

c. Information from Organization Signup Pages

If you sign up through a dedicated organization page (URLs like /join/your-school-pta):

  • Your email address is captured before authentication to track signup completion
  • Your IP address is recorded for security and abuse prevention
  • The organization you're joining is associated with your account upon signup completion

These pages require a valid security link distributed by your PTA. If you start signing up but don't finish, we keep your email for 30 days so we can help you complete the process. After 30 days, it's automatically deleted. You can request immediate deletion anytime at [email protected].

2. User Types and Data Collection

We have different user categories with varying data collection methods:

PTA-Verified Users

Parents at organizations with official Leto PTA partnerships. Verification occurs either through email whitelist matching or by signing up through your PTA's dedicated signup link (/join/your-school-pta).

Individual Users

Parents using Leto without an official PTA partnership, who connect an email inbox directly.

3. Information Collected via Technology

To activate the Service you do not need to submit any Personal Information other than your email address. To use the Service thereafter, you do need to submit further Personal Information, which may include: the names of family members, the names of organizations that serve your family, and your phone number if you opt in to mobile notifications via SMS. However, in an effort to improve the quality of the Service, we track information provided to us by your browser or by our software application when you view or use the Service, such as the website you came from (known as the "referring URL"), the type of browser you use, the device from which you connected to the Service, the time and date of access, and other information that does not personally identify you. We track this information using cookies, or small text files which include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to a user's browser from our servers and are stored on the user's computer hard drive. Sending a cookie to a user's browser enables us to collect Non-Personal information about that user and keep a record of the user's preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis.

4. Authentication and Google User Data

We use Auth0 as our authentication service provider, which allows you to sign in using your Google account. When you choose to authenticate with Google:

  • Information We Access: We only access your basic profile information provided by Google, including your email address, first name, and last name.
  • How We Use This Information: This information is used solely to create and maintain your Leto account, enable you to sign in, and personalize your experience.
  • Data Storage: Your Google profile information is stored securely in our database and is subject to the same protections as all other personal information.
  • Data Sharing: We do not share your Google user data with any third parties except Auth0, which processes the authentication on our behalf.
  • Limited Use: Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can revoke Leto's access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account settings.

5. Email Inbox Connection & Sender Recognition

You may optionally connect your email inbox (Gmail) through our secure integration with the Gmail API to enable automatic sender recognition and the extraction of tasks, events, and Information. This is an optional feature that requires explicit consent.

a. What We Access

When you connect your email inbox, we access:

  • Email metadata (past 45 days): Sender email addresses, subject lines, and date/time stamps to identify and map organization-related senders to organizations
  • Email envelope and identity headers (past 45 days): Routing and list-identity details that email systems attach to messages — such as the mailing-list identifier (List-ID), the organization portion of an unsubscribe link, and the domain that cryptographically signed the message (DKIM). We use these to recognize which organization a message comes from. We never store the personal, per-recipient portion of an unsubscribe link; we keep only a small, organization-level identity key derived from these headers (see "Data Storage and Encryption" below).
  • Email content (past 14 days): We temporarily access email body content from recognized organization senders to extract tasks, events, deadlines, and Information (see below) using AI

Important: Email body content is deleted immediately after successful processing (or within 24 hours if processing fails). We only retain what we extract (tasks, events, and Information), each with a short context snippet, and each email's fingerprint (see "How Fingerprints Work" below), not the original email content. Information means facts about your family's schools and organizations that their emails contain, such as a policy, a schedule, an announcement, or a contact detail (for example, "dismissal is at Door 3").

How we keep Information:

  • Information from your connected inbox is kept for your family only. It is never shared with your school or organization, or with any other family.
  • Information from emails an organization sends to its own Leto address is shared with every family in that organization, just like the tasks and events from those emails.
  • When a newer email corrects an earlier one, the newer version becomes current and the earlier one is kept, marked as replaced.
  • If your family leaves an organization, your copies of that organization's shared Information are removed. Information from your own inbox stays with your family.

b. How We Use This Information

  • AI classification identifies family-relevant senders across categories such as schools, sports leagues, camps, tutoring programs, clubs, community organizations, daycare and childcare providers, religious organizations, and other organizations that serve your family
  • Sender mappings connect email addresses to organizations (schools, PTAs, sports leagues)
  • Recent emails from recognized senders are processed to extract tasks, events, and Information

c. Data Storage and Encryption

  • All sender email addresses are encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption
  • Email body content is deleted immediately after successful processing (or within 24 hours if processing fails)
  • Lookups use blind indexing (salted cryptographic hashes), never plaintext searches
  • Organizational Data (Sender Mappings, Email Fingerprints, and Identity Keys): When you delete your account, we remove everything personal to you. The only data we retain is organization-level sender mappings (which email addresses belong to which school or organization), email fingerprints (cryptographic hashes used to prevent duplicate processing), and organization identity keys (list and signing identifiers — such as List-ID and the signing domain — that tell us a message came from a particular organization). This data describes the organization, not you; it helps other families at your organization, cannot be traced back to you, and organizations cannot view or export it. Identity keys are stored as de-individualized, low-sensitivity organizational metadata, and the personal per-recipient portion of unsubscribe links is stripped and never stored. We retain organization identity keys on a rolling 365-day basis, refreshed as organizations continue to send mail; keys that go stale age out automatically.
  • How Fingerprints Work: We create SHA-256 cryptographic hashes of email content (subject line and body text). Before hashing, we normalize content to detect duplicates (e.g., removing formatting and common boilerplate). These fingerprints cannot be reversed to recover email content. We also record the fingerprint of every email we process on that email's own record. It is the same one-way hash, and the email's content is still deleted immediately after processing. For an email from your connected inbox, or one you pasted into Leto before, that record is in your account and is deleted with your account. For an email an organization sends to its own Leto address, it stays with that organization's records. Purpose limitation: Fingerprints are used solely to (1) prevent duplicate task creation across families, (2) reduce redundant AI processing costs, (3) detect abuse, and (4) recognize when the same message reached several families at the same organization. They are not used for marketing, profiling, or any other purpose.

d. What We Do NOT Do

  • We never permanently store email body content — it is deleted immediately after successful processing (or within 24 hours if processing fails).
  • We never share sender data with third parties / other organizations
  • We never sell or monetize your email data
  • We never use your data for advertising purposes

e. Complete Content Extraction

For emails from approved senders, Leto processes all available content sources to maximize the extraction of tasks, events, and Information:

  • Email body text: Processed as described above.
  • Linked web pages: When an email contains links to external web pages (such as online newsletters, school event pages, or signup forms), Leto follows those links and fetches the page content to extract tasks, events, and Information. This fetching is performed directly by Leto's own servers — no third-party web scraping service receives your data. Fetched web page content is processed in memory and deleted after extraction.
  • PDF attachments: Text content is extracted from PDF files. If a PDF is image-based (scanned or graphical), the original PDF file is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI for visual analysis. PDFs are deleted after extraction.
  • Images (inline and attached): Images embedded in or attached to emails are analyzed by Anthropic's Claude AI to extract text content such as event dates, deadlines, and announcements. Images are deleted after extraction.

PII in binary content: Images and PDF documents may contain names, contact information, or other personally identifiable information that cannot be identified and redacted before they are sent to Anthropic for visual analysis. This is a necessary limitation of image and document processing. We minimize personal information shared with Anthropic where technically feasible.

Transient storage: All binary content (PDF attachments, images, and fetched web page content) is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and automatically deleted after successful extraction. If processing fails, content is deleted within 24 hours.

We do not read drafts or sent mail. We do not access email content older than 14 days.

f. Data Deletion

  • When you disconnect your email, we immediately stop accessing your inbox, delete your connection credentials and sync history. Your extracted tasks, events, and Information remain in your account.
  • You can disconnect at any time through your account settings
  • Sender mappings and organization-level email fingerprints are organizational data maintained at the organization level; they are not deleted when you disconnect or delete your account (see above for details). The fingerprint recorded on each of your own emails, and the tasks, events, and Information extracted from them, are deleted with your account, except an item an organization also sent to another family, which stays for that family as its own.

g. Gmail API Compliance

Our use of information received from Gmail APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only request the minimum permissions necessary to provide the sender and organization recognition features.

6. Session Cookies

We use session cookies to:

  • Maintain your authenticated session when you log in
  • Remember your authentication status as you navigate through our application
  • Process account invitations
  • Ensure your session remains secure while using our service

Our session cookies are set to expire after 30 minutes of inactivity to protect your security. As we use Auth0 for authentication, the following information may be stored in cookies:

  • Your authentication status
  • Your email address
  • Your first and last name (as provided during authentication)
  • Session security tokens

The Company may use both persistent and session cookies; persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your session and until you delete them, while session cookies expire when you close your browser. We do not store any persistent cookies at this time.

7. Children's Privacy and COPPA Compliance

Children Never Have Direct Access: The Site and Service are designed for parent use only. Children never create accounts, log in, or directly interact with our Service. We are committed to protecting children's privacy in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Information About Children: While children don't use our Service directly, parents may enter limited information about their children:

  • First names
  • Grade levels
  • Organization-related tasks and activities

No Direct Collection: We never knowingly collect information directly from anyone under 13. All children's information is provided by parents or through PTA partnerships with parental awareness.

Parental Control: Parents have complete control over their children's information and can update or delete it at any time through their account settings or by contacting [email protected].

8. Educational Records (FERPA)

We are aware of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and its importance in protecting student educational records. Leto is designed to process logistical information (dates, times, events) rather than educational records as defined by FERPA.

While parents may connect their email inbox to our Service:

  • We extract only tasks, events, and Information about your family's organizations (such as dates, times, activities, schedules, and policies)
  • We do not intentionally process or retain grades, academic performance data, or disciplinary records
  • We do not access student information systems or official educational records

Inadvertent Educational Content: Organization emails may occasionally contain information that could constitute educational records under FERPA (such as IEP meeting notices, academic progress updates, or report card notifications). If such content is inadvertently processed:

  • Leto is designed to extract only the logistical details (such as a date, a time, an event type, or where to go)
  • The original email content is deleted immediately after processing
  • Leto is designed not to store, index, or make searchable academic performance data
  • You may request immediate deletion of any specific email-derived data by contacting [email protected]

Our Service is designed to help parents manage organization-related logistics and activities. We recommend parents review extracted tasks and events for accuracy.

Children's Data: Leto is designed not to collect educational records or academic grades. Children's names and grade levels (such as 3rd grade) are optional and parent-controlled.

9. Premium Subscription Data

If you subscribe to Leto Premium (including free trials and Pioneer Program):

a. Information We Collect

  • Your subscription status and plan type
  • Billing history (dates, amounts, plan changes)
  • Trial start and end dates (if applicable)
  • Pioneer program enrollment date and participating organizations (if applicable)

b. Payment Information

  • Payment card information is collected and stored by our payment processor, Stripe
  • We receive only a tokenized reference and the last 4 digits of your card
  • We do not store complete credit card numbers on our servers
  • Stripe may collect device information and IP addresses for fraud prevention purposes per their Privacy Policy

c. Subscription Events

We log subscription lifecycle events including:

  • Trial started, converted, or cancelled
  • Subscription renewals and plan changes
  • Payment successes and failures (without card details)

These logs are used for billing support and service improvement.

10. Subscription Consent Records

When you start a free trial or subscribe to Leto Premium, we record your consent to automatic renewal charges as required by California's Automatic Renewal Law (CA Business & Professions Code §17602) and similar consumer protection regulations.

a. What Consent Data We Retain

  • Timestamp of when you agreed to the automatic renewal terms
  • The exact consent and disclosure text shown to you at the time of signup
  • Your subscription plan and pricing at signup
  • The cancellation URL shown to you
  • A privacy-preserving hash of your IP address (for verification purposes)

Important: We do not store your raw IP address. We use a one-way cryptographic hash that allows verification if legally required but cannot be reversed to identify you.

b. Retention Period

Per California law, we retain consent records for the longer of:

  • Three (3) years from the date you gave consent, OR
  • One (1) year after your subscription ends

After this retention period expires, consent records are automatically deleted.

c. Handling During Account Deletion

  • CCPA Deletion Requests (California): Your consent records are retained per the retention period above, as required by California law for legal compliance. The link between your account and the consent record is preserved for audit purposes.
  • GDPR Erasure Requests (EU "Right to Be Forgotten"): The link between your account and consent records is deleted immediately. However, we retain the anonymized consent record (without any link to you) for the retention period as permitted under GDPR Article 17(3)(e) for legal defense purposes.

11. Marketing Communications

During account creation, you may choose to receive occasional product updates and new feature announcements by opting in to our email list.

  • If you request a High School Fit Score spreadsheet, we also subscribe you to our marketing list. We send Mailchimp your email address and the name of the page you came from — not your address, ZIP code, borough or questionnaire answers.
  • You can unsubscribe at any time using the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email
  • Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not affect transactional emails (such as billing confirmations, security alerts, or task notifications)
  • We use Mailchimp to manage our email communications
  • We will not share your email address with third parties for their marketing purposes

12. Feature Usage Metrics

We collect aggregated metrics about feature usage to improve our service:

  • Daily counts of trial starts, conversions, and cancellations
  • Aggregate email sync statistics
  • Feature adoption rates

These metrics are aggregated and designed to reduce re-identification risk. We do not share metrics for groups with fewer than 10 users, and we may further withhold metrics if the cohort is small or the metric is sensitive.

13. High School Fit Score Spreadsheet

You can request a free High School Fit Score spreadsheet from our website without creating a Leto account. Here is what happens to what you enter.

a. What You Give Us

  • Your email address.
  • Your home street address, including your ZIP code. We use it to measure how far each school is from home, to build a transit-directions link for each school in your spreadsheet, and to tick your borough for you on the form.
  • Your answers to the questionnaire: the priorities you set, how far you are willing to travel, the school sizes, interests and sports you pick, the boroughs you choose, and any schools you name.
  • Optionally, a description of your child in your own words. Our Data Use Policy explains exactly what happens to it.

We never ask for your child's name.

b. Who Receives Your Address

To find your address on the map, we send it to two free public address services run by government agencies, after removing any apartment or unit number we recognise, such as "Apt 4B": NYC Planning GeoSearch (New York City Department of City Planning) and, if that one can't find it, the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder. We do this each time you move on from the address box after typing or changing your address, so we can tick your borough for you, and again when you ask for your spreadsheet. So it happens even if you never ask for a spreadsheet. They send back the standardized form of your address, its ZIP code and its borough. These are public services, not vendors under contract with Leto, and their own terms and privacy policies apply to what they receive.

c. What We Delete

  • If you type your address and leave without asking for a spreadsheet, we don't store your address. It is used to find your borough and then discarded, and it is never written to our database or to our logs.
  • Your street address and your other answers are deleted from the records we use to build your spreadsheet once it is built, or if it can't be built. Either way that is within about 15 minutes of your request. The same goes for the map point we work out from your address.
  • Your network address: like most websites, our servers log the network (IP) address and time of every request to this page, including each borough lookup. To stop abuse, we also count lookups from each network address for up to a day. None of these records contains your street address.
  • Your child's description, if you wrote one, is deleted when the job that reads it finishes, whether it succeeds or fails. If that job never gets to run, it is deleted within about a week.
  • Your spreadsheet file is kept, encrypted, only so you can download it: until an hour after it's ready, or 30 minutes after your first download, whichever comes first. The download link stops working at that moment, and the file is deleted then or within minutes after. The file holds your choices, each school's distance from your home, and the sentences explaining why each school fits, which draw on your description if you wrote one. After that, we keep only a fingerprint of the file (see "What We Keep").
  • Our background-job records for building your spreadsheet hold neither your email address nor your answers. The one exception is your description, as described above. The job that adds your email to our mailing list keeps it in its record until that record is deleted: within 37 days, or within about a day if that job fails.
  • Backups: our database is backed up daily, and each backup is kept for about one day (see Section IV). A backup taken while your spreadsheet was being built or waiting to be downloaded can contain your address, your description or the file until that backup is deleted.

d. What We Keep

We keep one record for each email address that has requested a spreadsheet, and one record for each spreadsheet requested without an email address. A record holds:

  • your email address, encrypted (if you gave one);
  • when you gave your consent on the spreadsheet form (if you gave an email address);
  • your ZIP code and borough, used only in aggregate — for example, how many families in each borough use the spreadsheet — and never your street address;
  • the web address you used to reach the spreadsheet, including any tag showing who shared the link;
  • whether you wrote a description and roughly how long it was (never the words), and the times of your most recent descriptions, used only to limit how many we read in a week;
  • a fingerprint of each spreadsheet file we made for you. A fingerprint cannot be turned back into the file; it only lets us confirm later whether a file claiming to come from Leto really did.

If you gave an email address, we keep this record until you ask us to delete it at [email protected]. A record without an email address can't be linked to you, so nobody can ask for it; we delete it 12 months after the spreadsheet was requested.

II. How We Use and Share Information

Personal Information

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Information with third parties without your consent. We do share Personal Information with vendors who are performing services for the Company, such as the servers for our email communications who are provided access to user's email address for purposes of sending emails from us. Those vendors use your Personal Information only at our direction and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

In general, the Personal Information you provide to us is used to help us communicate with you. For example, we use Personal Information to contact users in response to questions, solicit feedback from users, provide technical support, and inform users about promotional offers.

Third-Party Data Processors

We use the following third-party services to provide our Service:

  • Auth0: Authentication and identity management. See Auth0's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Gmail API: Email inbox integration (accesses email metadata and content directly via Google's Gmail API with read-only scope through Leto's own Google Cloud Platform project — no third-party intermediary)
  • Anthropic: AI-powered extraction of tasks, events, and Information, and, if you use the High School Fit Score spreadsheet and choose to describe your child in your own words, a single reading of that description to suggest which qualifying schools to list first. That description does not affect the Fit Score, is not kept once your spreadsheet is built, and is never written to our logs; the Data Use Policy sets this out in full. Email content, images, and PDF documents from approved senders are processed by Anthropic's Claude AI to extract tasks, events, and Information. Anthropic does not use your content to train its models. Anthropic does hold it for a limited period under its own commercial terms—we do not have a zero-retention arrangement with them—and its terms govern how long. For text content, we redact family member names before processing to minimize personal information shared. For images and PDF documents, name redaction is not technically feasible prior to processing — such content may contain names or contact information that is sent to Anthropic as part of visual analysis. We review Anthropic's data handling practices regularly and will notify you of any material changes that affect how your data is processed. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy for details.
  • Resend: Transactional email delivery. We use Resend to send account-related emails such as billing confirmations, security alerts, and task notifications. See Resend's Privacy Policy.
  • Twilio: SMS notifications (if opted in). See Twilio's Privacy Policy.
  • Stripe: Payment processing for Premium subscriptions. Stripe collects and processes payment information (credit card numbers, billing addresses) on our behalf. We do not store complete payment card information on our servers. Stripe may collect device information and IP addresses for fraud prevention purposes. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
  • Mailchimp: Email communications and marketing. If you opt in during registration, or request a High School Fit Score spreadsheet, we use Mailchimp to send product updates and promotional content. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email. See Mailchimp's Privacy Policy.
  • PostHog: Product analytics. We use PostHog to understand how users interact with our service and to improve the user experience. We configure PostHog to avoid capturing sensitive content such as email bodies or personal messages. Analytics data is used in aggregate form. See PostHog's Privacy Policy.
  • Rollbar: Error monitoring and application stability. Rollbar helps us identify and fix technical issues. We configure Rollbar to minimize capture of sensitive data. Error reports may include technical context to help us resolve issues but are not intended to capture email content or personal messages. See Rollbar's Privacy Policy.
  • Infrastructure Providers: We use additional service providers for hosting, content delivery, cloud storage, and security (such as Amazon Web Services, Heroku, and Cloudflare). These providers process data as necessary to operate our service and are bound by their respective privacy policies.

All third-party processors listed above are contractually bound to handle your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

Public address services (High School Fit Score spreadsheet only): When you type a home street address into the High School Fit Score form, that address, minus any apartment or unit number we recognise, is sent to NYC Planning GeoSearch (New York City Department of City Planning) and, if needed, the U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder, to find it on the map: when you move on from the address box, and again if you ask for a spreadsheet. These are free public government services, not vendors under contract with Leto; their own terms apply. See Section I.13.

Content Processing: Email content, images, PDF attachments, and linked web page content are processed by Anthropic's Claude AI to extract tasks, events, and Information. Web page content is fetched directly by Leto's servers — no third-party scraping or data processing service receives this content. No user data is shared with any third parties beyond those listed in this section.

Sharing with PTAs

For PTA-verified users, we may share aggregate, anonymized analytics with participating PTAs such as:

  • Overall parent engagement rates
  • Aggregate task completion statistics
  • General usage patterns

We never share individual user data, personal information, or specific user activities with PTAs.

Family Account Data Sharing

If you have a linked family account with another parent/guardian:

  • Both parents can access shared children's information
  • Each parent maintains independent account control
  • Family accounts can be unlinked by contacting support
  • In cases of separation/divorce, each parent retains access to their own account

We may share Personal Information with outside parties if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to meet any applicable legal process or enforceable governmental request; to enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations; address fraud, security or technical concerns; or to protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

Non-Personal Information

In general, we use Non-Personal Information to help us improve the Service and customize the user experience. We also aggregate Non-Personal Information in order to track trends and analyze use patterns on the Site. We may share aggregated, non-identifying usage data with service providers who help us improve Leto. We never share Non-Personal Information with advertisers or data brokers.

In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at any time in the future, we will post the policy changes to the Site so that you may opt out of the new information practices. We suggest that you check the Site periodically if you are concerned about how your information is used.

III. Data Ownership and Usage Rights

Raw Data Ownership

Leto does not claim ownership over content from users' connected email inboxes. This includes emails, attachments, and metadata accessed via inbox integrations. Users may disconnect their inboxes at any time; disconnecting deletes connection credentials and sync history. Organization-level sender mappings and email fingerprints are retained as described in Section I above.

Transformed Data Ownership

Leto retains intellectual property rights over the structured format and system-generated metadata of transformed data (including tasks, events, sender mappings, and engagement metadata), not the underlying content. This applies solely when:

  • (a) The original email was sent to a Leto inbox; or
  • (b) The email was sent to a Leto-provided organization address via a PTA partnership.

Use of Transformed Data

Transformed data is used to provide and improve the Leto service. For PTA-supported families, tasks, events, and Information may be shared across verified family accounts to support coordination (e.g., both parents seeing the same signup task). No personal content is shared outside the family unit unless explicitly authorized.

Limitation on Private Emails

Leto does not process or retain direct one-on-one communications between families and organizations unless a user connects their inbox. Such content is treated as private and subject to deletion on request.

Requesting Deletion or Export

Families can request deletion or export of both raw and transformed data associated with their account at any time by contacting [email protected].

AI Processing Consent

By using email extraction features, you consent to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze email content, PDF attachments, images, and linked web page content to identify tasks, events, and Information, including visual analysis of images and documents. Leto uses Anthropic's Claude AI for this purpose under a binding data processing agreement.

Data Portability

Users may request an export of their extracted tasks, events, and Information together, along with sender mappings, in human-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON). We do not retain or export raw email content after deletion.

IV. Data Retention and Account Transitions

General Data Retention

  • Active account data: Retained for the duration of your account
  • Deleted account data: Removed within 30 days of deletion request
  • Database backups: Taken daily and kept for about one day, so deleted data leaves our backups within about a day
  • Legal holds: Data may be retained longer if required by law or legal proceedings
  • Anonymized data: May be retained indefinitely for analytics and service improvement

PTA Partnership Transitions

If your PTA partnership with Leto ends:

  • You will receive 30 days advance notice via email
  • You will be given the option to continue using the Service
  • Your account may be deactivated if you do not opt to continue
  • PTA-provided verification data will be retained only if you opt to continue
  • You may continue using the Service directly by connecting an email inbox

Google User Data Retention

  • We retain your basic Google profile information (email address, first name, last name) for as long as you maintain an active account with Leto
  • This information is essential for authentication and account management purposes
  • When you delete your Leto account, we will delete your Google profile information from our systems within 30 days, except where we are required to retain certain information for legal or compliance purposes
