Reclaim.ai

Reclaim.ai usage, security controls, and compliance requirements

Reclaim.ai is an AI-powered calendar management and productivity tool that helps optimize scheduling and time management. The platform integrates with calendar systems to automatically schedule focus time, manage tasks, and optimize meeting schedules.

Security and Compliance Requirements

As a GitLab team member using Reclaim.ai, you are responsible for understanding and adhering to the following security controls and compliance requirements:

Index

Data Classification

Reclaim.ai can process Orange data

Ensure your use of Reclaim.ai aligns with GitLab’s data classification and handling policies. Do not include confidential customer information or other RED data.

System of Record Maintenance

Reclaim.ai can augment your calendar, but you’re still responsible!

  • GitLab’s primary calendar system (Google Calendar) remains the authoritative source for scheduling information
  • Reclaim.ai should be used as a productivity enhancement tool, not as the primary system of record
  • Regularly verify that information synchronized between Reclaim.ai and your primary calendar systems is accurate
  • Maintain backup copies of critical scheduling and task information outside of Reclaim.ai

Manager Responsibilities

If you’re a manager: make sure you’re involved

  • Managers must ensure their team members understand proper Reclaim.ai usage guidelines
  • Monitor and review how team members are using Reclaim.ai to ensure compliance with GitLab policies
  • Work with your team members to determine what types of information should and should not be managed through Reclaim.ai with the particular concerns of your business unit in mind
  • Regularly review team access and usage patterns

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Users of Reclaim.ai should:

  • Maintain alternative scheduling and productivity workflows that do not depend solely on Reclaim.ai
  • Ensure critical meetings and tasks are also tracked in GitLab’s primary systems (Google Calendar, GitLab issues, etc.)

Security Configuration Changes

  • IT EUS can approve security and configuration changes: any requests should go through the normal access request process
  • IT EUS should coordinate with the Security team before making significant configuration changes that affect data transmission
  • Anyone making a change should follow standard workflows for configuration changes for audit purposes
