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.
