PyxisPrivacy policy
- Your data stays on your Mac, encrypted. Pyxis has no servers of its own and does not receive any user data.
- The AI assistant you connect receives only the excerpts relevant to each question, with sensitive data replaced by codes.
- Google user data is not used for advertising, is not sold, and is not used to train general AI models.
- Pyxis only writes with your approval, never sends email and deletes nothing.
1. Who is responsible
Pyxis is a desktop app for macOS developed by Juan Espoz. This policy explains what data Pyxis uses, for what purpose, where it is kept and what control you have over it. For any questions, write to support@factoriaapp.com.
2. Data Pyxis uses
With your authorization, Pyxis copies and reads data from the Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 accounts you connect:
- Email.
- Calendar and events.
- Documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
- Contacts.
- Tasks.
- Meetings: attendance, transcripts and notes.
- Chats and chat spaces.
- Basic information about the connected account: name, email address and profile picture.
You choose which services are copied.

3. How the data is used
Pyxis uses your data only to provide its features: searching your information, preparing for meetings, giving context to the AI assistant you chose when you ask it a question, and creating or changing the items you approve. It is not used for any other purpose.
4. Where the data is kept
Everything stays on your Mac. Pyxis keeps a copy encrypted with SQLCipher 4, and the encryption keys are stored in the macOS Keychain. Pyxis has no servers of its own: neither the developer nor any third party receives a copy of your data.
5. What is sent to the AI assistant, and how it is protected
Pyxis works with the AI assistant you choose (Claude, Gemini or ChatGPT), which you connect with your own account. When you ask it a question, Pyxis sends that assistant only the excerpts of your data that are relevant to answer it, including excerpts that come from Google.
Before they leave your device, Pyxis replaces sensitive data with codes: national ID numbers (RUT), email addresses, phone numbers, cards, bank accounts, amounts, addresses, and the names or terms you choose to protect. The real values never leave your Mac.
The assistant runs under your own account, subject to its provider's terms and privacy policy. Pyxis does not let it use tools, files or the internet, unless you turn on web search. You decide which services the assistants can see.
6. What Pyxis writes
Pyxis only writes with your explicit approval, after showing you a preview. It can create email drafts (it never sends them), events, documents, tasks and chat messages. Pyxis does not delete emails, documents or files.
7. Limited Use of Google user data
Pyxis'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.
Specifically, data that Pyxis obtains from Google:
- Is not used for advertising, whether personalized, retargeted or interest-based.
- Is not sold or shared with third parties, except for the protected excerpts sent, at your request, to the AI assistant you connected with your own account.
- Is not used to train general AI models.
- Is not read by any person other than you.
8. Your control: deletion and revocation
- You choose which services to copy and whether assistants can see them.
- When you disconnect an account, you choose whether the local copy is deleted or kept.
- You can revoke Pyxis's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, and to your Microsoft account from that account's permission settings.
9. Security
Your data is stored encrypted on your device, with the keys in the macOS Keychain, and sensitive data is replaced with codes before being sent to the AI assistant. Because Pyxis has no servers, there is no central database of user information.
