Effective Date: 2025/10/03
Last Updated: 2025/10/03

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how my personal integration app ‘rclone-goodrive’ (“the App”) uses information when connecting Google Drive with my local computer via rclone. The App is designed exclusively for personal use to synchronize a specific work folder on my PC with a designated backup folder in my Google Drive.

Information Collected

Google Account Access: The App requests access to Google Drive through OAuth 2.0 in order to read and write files in the backup folder.

Data Types: The App only accesses file metadata (such as file names, sizes, and timestamps) and file contents strictly for the purpose of synchronization.

Personal Data: The App does not collect, store, or share personal information, including names, email addresses, contacts, or any Google user profile data.

Scope of Access: The App requests limited Google Drive permissions specifically for file management in designated folders only.

How Information Is Used

• Files and metadata are used only for backup and sync between the local PC folder and Google Drive.
• No information is shared with third parties.

Data Storage and Retention

Storage Locations:

Access Tokens: Authentication tokens are stored locally on the user’s machine following rclone’s security standards.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

• The App does not share, sell, or transfer data to any third party.
• Data remains private between the user’s PC and the user’s Google Drive.
