Privacy & your data
What NetworkOS reads, what it stores, how data is encrypted, and how to delete everything.
NetworkOS reads Google Contacts (names and emails), Calendar events (titles, attendees, times), and the reply threads of messages it sent on your behalf. It never reads your inbox at large and never reads a thread it did not originate. Content read for reply tracking is discarded and email bodies are not stored. Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, and OAuth tokens are stored encrypted.
What NetworkOS reads
To build your relationship graph, NetworkOS accesses:
- Google Contacts — names and email addresses.
- Calendar events — titles, attendees, and times, to understand who you meet with.
- Email headers across your mailbox — who you exchange mail with, and when. This is how the graph knows your network. Message content is not opened for this.
A few features open full message content, and only for mail tied to your work:
- Replies to what you send — when you send an introduction through NetworkOS, it reads the reply thread for that specific message to track responses.
- Threads with a company you advise — used to summarize the state of that relationship on the company page.
- Meeting notes you route to NetworkOS — used to spot introductions worth making, when you enable it.
What it stores, and what it doesn't
How your data is protected
- Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256).
- OAuth tokens for connected accounts are stored encrypted.
- Access controls and audit logging on data access.

The Claude connector
Using NetworkOS through the connector in Claude follows the same rules. You authorize access with OAuth and grant read and/or write scopes; Claude never sees your password. Disconnect anytime from Claude's connector settings, which revokes its access. See NetworkOS in Claude.
The Chrome extension uses your existing signed-in NetworkOS session in the browser — there's no separate login, and removing the extension ends its access.
Exporting or deleting your data
You can request a copy of your data, correct it, or delete it at any time, and you can disconnect Google to revoke access. If you delete your account, your personal data is removed within 30 days except where we must retain it for legal reasons. To make a request, email privacy@thenetworkos.com. The full privacy policy has the complete terms.
Common questions
- Does NetworkOS read my email?
- Not your inbox at large. It reads Google Contacts, Calendar event details, and the reply threads of messages it sent on your behalf, such as introductions and Looped threads you explicitly CC'd. It never reads a thread it did not originate, and email bodies are not stored — content read for reply tracking is discarded.
- How is my data encrypted?
- In transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256. OAuth tokens are stored encrypted as well, so a database copy on its own does not yield usable access to your Google account.
- Can I export or delete my data?
- Yes. You can export, correct or delete your data and disconnect Google at any time. Account deletion removes your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is legally required. Send requests to privacy@thenetworkos.com.
- Who do NetworkOS emails come from?
- Your own Gmail. Introductions, catch-ups and Looped follow-ups all send from your account rather than a NetworkOS address, which is why recipients see a normal message from you and why you review every draft before it goes out.
