Security at Savvyy
Your contacts, notes and email are among the most personal things you will store in any app. Here is what protects them, with a source beside each claim so you can check it yourself.
01 · Encryption
The Savvyy website and apps reach our servers only over HTTPS, using TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2, the current versions of the protocol that encrypts traffic on the web. Anyone watching the network in between, on public Wi-Fi for instance, sees only scrambled data.
Older versions with known weaknesses are switched off. Our servers also instruct your browser to refuse any unencrypted connection to savvyy.com, a setting called HSTS, renewed for a year with each visit.
Qualys SSL Labs, an independent testing service, grades the setup A+. Run the test yourself
02 · Sign-in
Choose Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple, and you enter your password on Google's or Apple's own page, never on ours. Savvyy receives confirmation that it is you, along with your name and email address. Your password never reaches us, so there is none for us to store or lose.
Whatever you have set up to protect that account, such as two-step verification or a passkey, protects your way into Savvyy as well. Apple requires two-factor authentication on every account that uses Sign in with Apple.
03 · Independent review
Before an app can read Gmail or Google Calendar on your behalf, Google reviews what it asks to access and why. Savvyy is approved for both.
Reading Gmail carries one more requirement: an independent security assessment called CASA, the Cloud Application Security Assessment. A lab authorized by the App Defense Alliance, an industry security group whose members include Google, Microsoft and Meta, tests the app against requirements drawn from OWASP's Application Security Verification Standard, a widely used benchmark for web applications. In Google's words, the assessment verifies that an app "can securely handle data and delete user data upon request."
Savvyy passed at Assurance Level 1 (AL1), the level Google assigned it. Google requires the full assessment again every 12 months for an app to keep its access.
04 · AI
Savvyy's assistant runs on leading AI models through Amazon Bedrock, a service of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Bedrock runs its own copy of each model in accounts that AWS owns and operates. The model developers, such as Anthropic and OpenAI, have no access to those accounts, so your notes, your email and the assistant's drafts never reach them.
Amazon states that content sent through Bedrock is not used to improve the models and is not shared with any model provider, and that it is encrypted in transit.

Report a concern
An email that claims to be from Savvyy and asks for your password, a sign-in you don't recognize, a screen showing something that isn't yours, a weakness you have found in the app: write to our security address and it will be handled confidentially.
It helps to include what you saw, when and where, a screenshot or link if you have one, and the steps that led to it. Please don't send passwords. For anything other than security, write to hey@savvyy.com.
