Privacy Policy
Friday Intellytics fridayintellytics.com Last updated: March 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Friday Intellytics (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the AskFriday analytics assistant (“Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you sign in via Google Authentication, we receive and store:
- Name
- Email address
- Profile picture
- Google account identifier
1.2 Usage Data
As you interact with the Service, we collect:
- Chat messages — Questions you ask and responses generated by the AI assistant
- SQL queries and results — Queries executed against your connected datasets and their outputs
- Visualizations and artifacts — Charts, number cards, and insights you create or pin
- Workspace metadata — Titles, creation timestamps, and session identifiers
- Shared dashboards — Dashboard snapshots you choose to publish, including titles, summaries, and associated artifacts
1.3 Technical Data
We automatically collect certain technical information:
- IP address — Used for rate limiting and abuse prevention; not stored persistently
- Timestamps — Account creation and last activity times
- Analytics events — Anonymized interaction events (e.g., query count, response times) for service improvement
1.4 Connected Data Sources
- Company BigQuery tables — You choose which tables to connect. We access table schemas and metadata; query results are processed in-memory and cached temporarily per session.
- Kaggle datasets — If you import Kaggle datasets, they are ingested into your BigQuery project. We store import metadata (dataset name, source, table reference).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide the Service — Process your natural language queries, generate SQL, and render visualizations
- Maintain conversation context — Store chat history so you can revisit previous workspaces
- Enable collaboration — Power shared dashboards and artifact publishing
- Improve the Service — Analyze aggregated, anonymized usage patterns to improve reliability and features
- Ensure security — Rate limiting, abuse detection, and access control
We do not use your data to train AI models. Your queries and data are processed by Google Vertex AI (Gemini) under Google Cloud’s data processing terms, which prohibit use of customer data for model training.
3. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We share data only with the following service providers, strictly to operate the Service:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Google Cloud Platform (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Run) | AI processing, data storage, query execution, hosting | Chat messages, queries, results, account info, artifacts |
| Kaggle (a Google subsidiary) | Dataset search and import (only if you use this feature) | Search queries, dataset identifiers |
These providers process data under their respective data processing agreements and are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes beyond service delivery.
We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Friday Intellytics, our users, or others.
4. Data Retention
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account information | Retained while your account is active, deleted within 90 days of account deletion request |
| Chat messages and workspaces | Retained for 12 months after last activity in the workspace; automatically purged thereafter |
| Pinned artifacts | Retained for the lifetime of the parent workspace |
| Shared dashboards | Retained until deleted by the creator, or 12 months after last refresh, whichever comes first |
| Analytics events | 24 months, then permanently deleted |
| Session cache (SQL results) | In-memory only; cleared when the session ends |
| IP addresses | Used transiently for rate limiting; not persisted to any database |
5. Data Security
We implement the following measures to protect your data:
- Encryption in transit — All data transmitted between your browser, our servers, and Google Cloud is encrypted using TLS 1.2+
- Encryption at rest — Data stored in Firestore, BigQuery, and Cloud Storage is encrypted at rest using Google-managed encryption keys
- Access control — Authentication via Google OAuth 2.0; user data is isolated per account
- Rate limiting — IP-based and global rate limits to prevent abuse
- Infrastructure security — Hosted on Google Cloud Run with managed security patching and no persistent local storage
While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
