Privacy Policy — Ownix
Last updated: July 15, 2026
Ownix is a quiet tool for collecting the internet you care about. Saved videos, links, articles, repos, documents, and ideas become part of your personal Index and may contribute signal to the shared Brain if you choose to share them.
What we collect
- Your Telegram identity (chat ID, name, username) — used to identify your account and route your data.
- The email address you provide for invite approval, plus your access status (
pending,approved, orblocked). - Links and documents you save, plus generated analysis such as transcripts, descriptions, tags, and summaries.
- If you connect your Google account: an OAuth token scoped to Google Drive (
drive.file) and Google Sheets (spreadsheets). This lets Ownix create a folder namedOwnixand a spreadsheet in your Drive and write your results there. Ownix can only see or edit files it creates itself — it cannot access any other file already in your Drive.
How we use approval email
Ownix is invite-only while it is young. We use the approval email to review access requests, associate the request with your Telegram account, and contact you about access if needed.
Ownix is shaped with the people using it. We may use this email to ask for feedback, discuss feature improvements, share relevant Ownix updates, and understand how people collect, return to, and share the internet they care about.
We do not sell your email or share it with third parties.
What we don't collect
- We never request access to your Gmail, your existing Drive files, or any Google data beyond the scopes listed above.
- We don't sell or share your data with third parties.
How your data is stored
Video analysis results are stored in a private database and cloud storage bucket, scoped to your Telegram account. Your Google OAuth token, if you connect one, is stored encrypted and used only to write your own results to your own Drive/Sheets.
Functional preview cookies
Ownix may set a session cookie named ownix_preview to keep the read-only preview active while you browse. It does not identify you or track you across sites.
Revoking access
Send /disconnect to the bot at any time to revoke your Google connection — this deletes your stored token and revokes it with Google. You can also revoke access directly from your Google Account's third-party access settings.
