Privacy policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
In short
shmey.me gives you a private computer in the cloud ("your cloud"). What is in your cloud belongs to you. We keep only the little that is needed to run the service.
What we keep
- Account details: name, email address and a hashed password.
- Cloud details: the name you chose, the machine's private network address, its state (load, disk, versions) and the list of sites you chose to publish at shmey.me addresses.
- Ordinary server logs of the website.
What we do not keep
- The files, projects and data in your cloud.
- Your conversations with Claude and other assistants. They run between your cloud and the provider, on your account.
- Passwords and access codes for services you connected (Cloudflare, GitHub, Google and others). They are kept in your cloud only.
Connecting a Google account
If you choose to connect Google, you choose which services and how much access: mail (sending, reading or managing), calendar, spreadsheets, Drive files, documents and contacts. Your cloud receives only what you ticked, and you can change the choice at any time.
- The permission is used only by the apps and assistants in your own cloud, for what you asked them to do.
- The access code is kept in your cloud only. shmey.me's server passes it to you while connecting and does not store it. When your cloud asks to renew access, the request passes through our server and is not stored.
- We do not read, transfer or sell information from your Google account, and do not use it for advertising or to train models.
- When you ask an assistant in your cloud (Claude, for example) to work with information from Google, such as summarising an email or reading a file, that content is sent to the assistant's provider that you connected yourself, under your own account with them and their terms.
- Use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- You can disconnect at any time: in your cloud, or on your Google account permissions page.
Our access to your cloud
Your cloud is closed to the internet. To maintain it we can send it maintenance actions (update, reboot, diagnose) and, when something breaks, open temporary support access. We do not go into your content except to fix a problem.
Providers
The service relies on Cloudflare (addresses and publishing), Tailscale (your private network, on your account), Let's Encrypt (certificates), Postmark (email) and the server provider that hosts the machine.
Deletion
You can ask at any time to delete your account and your cloud. Deletion removes the data on the machine and our records.
