BENTLEY / Privacy

Privacy policy

Last updated October 27, 2026

BENTLEY is a personal desktop assistant operated by Caleb O’Neill. This policy describes the current personal installation and its optional connections. Contact: locten.the.gr8@gmail.com.

Information BENTLEY handles

BENTLEY processes the prompts, project files, device information and connected-service information you choose to make available. For a project run, it creates a working copy of selected source files. Its filters exclude common credential files and other categories, but cannot identify every secret; choose source intended for review.

• Gmail. If you connect an account, the Google permission grants read access to its mailbox. The current dashboard collector requests unread counts and recent sender and subject information.
• Google Drive. If you connect an account, BENTLEY requests read-only file metadata, such as names, modification times and links.
• Google Calendar. If you connect your personal account, BENTLEY requests read-only access to events on calendars you own and your verified Google email address. It uses the address to confirm the account before showing events.
• Other connections. BENTLEY may display information from other services you separately connect. The access and permissions depend on that connection and the provider’s consent screen.

How information is used and shared

BENTLEY uses information to respond to your requests, show dashboard readings and carry out project runs. When you choose a cloud assistant or start a cloud-backed project run, relevant prompts and source material may be sent to that provider, such as Claude or Codex. Local Ollama requests run on your Mac. Each provider’s own policies apply to information it receives.

Access depends on the action and integrations used. Review provider permissions before connecting an account.

BENTLEY’s use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

Storage and controls

The personal installation stores connection credentials and cached readings in local application files with restricted file permissions. Project runs also retain working copies and reports locally. Anyone with access to your Mac account or its backups may be able to access those files.

You can disconnect an account or revoke BENTLEY’s access through your Google Account’s third-party connections. Revocation prevents future access; it does not automatically erase copies or cached readings already stored on your Mac. To request help removing local data, contact the address above.

Changes and questions

As BENTLEY changes, this policy should be updated to describe its actual data practices. Contact locten.the.gr8@gmail.com with privacy questions.
