Who we are
Open Methods is run by Jesse Harris in Mortlake, Victoria, Australia. Contact: openmethods.au@gmail.com.
The "Aegis" Google app
Aegis is a private assistant used only by Jesse Harris to help manage his own Google accounts (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Contacts). It is not offered to the public, and only accounts owned by Jesse Harris or Open Methods are connected to it.
What data it uses and why
- It reads emails, calendar events, files and contacts in the connected accounts only to carry out tasks Jesse asks for, such as finding an email, drafting a reply or adding a calendar event.
- Emails are only sent after Jesse approves them.
- Sign-in tokens are stored on a private server controlled by Jesse and are never shared.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent or share Google user data with anyone.
- We don't use Google user data for advertising.
- We don't use Google user data to train general AI models.
Use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Access can be removed at any time from Google Account → Third-party connections. Questions or deletion requests: openmethods.au@gmail.com.
