ForensicsAI ("the application") is a digital-forensics acquisition tool operated by ForensicsGuru. It is used by authorized investigators to acquire data from a Google Account with the account owner's authorization or under lawful authority. This policy explains what the application accesses and how that data is handled.
ForensicsAI is run locally by the investigating organization on its own computer. The account owner authorizes access on Google's own sign-in page. ForensicsGuru does not operate a server that receives or stores account data; all acquired data is written to the investigator's local machine.
With the account owner's consent, and using Google's official read-only APIs, the application may read:
calendar.readonly) — calendars and events.contacts.readonly, contacts.other.readonly) — contacts and groups.tasks.readonly) — task lists and tasks.youtube.readonly) — channel, playlists, subscriptions.openid, userinfo.email) — the signed-in email address, to label the evidence.All access is read-only. The application never creates, modifies or deletes anything in the account.
Acquired data is saved as a forensic evidence copy on the investigator's local computer, with cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) and a chain-of-custody log. It is used solely for the authorized investigation. It is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose other than the investigation.
Data is stored locally under the investigator's user account. OAuth tokens are held in memory only for the duration of a session and are not written to disk; they are revoked on logout. Access to the evidence is controlled by the investigating organization.
ForensicsAI's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is used only to provide the forensic-acquisition function the account owner authorized, is not transferred to others except as part of the authorized investigation or as required by law, and is not used for advertising.
The investigating organization controls retention according to its case-management and legal obligations. To request deletion of data held about an account, contact the investigating organization, or ForensicsGuru at the address below.
