AI Safety & Data Use at Vern
How Vern Uses AI
AI in Vern is used to:
Summarize communications
Identify priorities and follow-ups
Draft responses in your voice
Improve search and organization
AI is used only to provide functionality you explicitly invoke or enable.
Inference vs Training
Inference
Your content is processed in real time to generate outputs
Outputs are returned directly to you
Content is not shared or reused for other users
Training
Your content is not used to train shared AI models by default
Training requires explicit opt-in
If enabled, data is de-identified and aggregated
You can change this setting at any time.
Human Access
We restrict human access aggressively.
Humans may only access content:
With your explicit permission
For debugging with anonymized data
For security, abuse prevention, or legal compliance
We do not review private content for quality, marketing, or model training without consent.
Third-Party AI Providers
Where Vern relies on external AI infrastructure:
Data is processed under strict contractual limits
Providers may not retain, train on, or reuse your content
Access is limited to the minimum necessary

What We Explicitly Do Not Do
No ad targeting
No inbox scanning for marketing
No resale of AI-processed content
No shadow profiling
AI at Vern exists to serve users, not extract value from them.
