EnergyBot Privacy Policy

Effective October 16, 2026

EnergyBot is a privately operated energy-monitoring application maintained by JoNoah Consulting. It is used to collect, analyze, and reconcile household electricity, solar production, and electric-vehicle charging information.

Gmail Access

EnergyBot requests read-only access to an authorized Gmail account through Google’s OAuth 2.0 authorization system.

Although the Gmail permission technically allows reading mailbox contents, EnergyBot is designed to identify and process only NOVEC electricity-billing notifications.

EnergyBot does not request permission to send, modify, or delete Gmail messages.

How Information Is Used

Information obtained from Gmail is used to identify when a NOVEC electricity statement becomes available and to initiate the statement acquisition and reconciliation workflow.

Gmail information is not used for advertising, marketing, or unrelated purposes.

Data Storage and Security

EnergyBot runs locally on the account owner’s Windows computer.

Relevant NOVEC notification metadata and electricity billing records are retained in local application storage. OAuth credentials are stored separately in protected Windows user storage.

EnergyBot does not intentionally transmit Gmail message contents to unrelated third-party services.

Data Sharing

EnergyBot does not sell, rent, or share Gmail information with advertisers or data brokers.

Information is used only for the application’s electricity-billing workflow.

Data Retention and User Control

Relevant billing records and notification evidence are retained for historical reconciliation and audit purposes.

The account owner can revoke EnergyBot’s Gmail authorization at any time through Google Account security settings.

The account owner may also request deletion of locally retained Gmail-derived information, subject to preserving independently established electricity-billing records.
