This Privacy Policy explains how the Personal Rclone Drive Client ("the Application", "we", "our") handles user information and data when connecting with Google services, specifically Google Drive.

1. Scope and Nature of the Application

This application is a private, personal-use OAuth 2.0 client ID. It is created solely to authenticate the open-source CLI file synchronization utility Rclone directly with your own Google Drive.

The application does not operate any centralized servers, proxies, databases, or third-party web backends. All data interactions occur directly between the official Google Drive API and your local device running the Rclone command-line tool.

2. Data Collection and Processing

• No Personal Information Collected: We do not collect, harvest, store, or log your name, email address, IP address, browsing behavior, or device identifiers on any external server.
• Google Drive Files & Metadata: When you execute commands via Rclone (such as copy, sync, ls), Rclone accesses only the files, directories, and file metadata on your Google Drive that you explicitly specify in your local commands.
• Zero Intermediary Storage: Neither this informational website nor any intermediary third-party server ever reads, caches, or stores your Google Drive contents or transfer streams.

3. Storage of Authentication Credentials

During the OAuth authorization flow, Google issues an access token and a refresh token:

• These tokens are received directly by the temporary web server spawned by Rclone on your local machine (http://127.0.0.1:53682/).
• Tokens are stored solely on your local filesystem within your local configuration file (typically ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf or equivalent).
• You can encrypt this configuration file with a custom password using Rclone's built-in encryption feature.

4. Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure

We strictly do not share, sell, lease, or transfer your Google Drive data or personal information to any third parties under any circumstances:

• No Third-Party Transfer: No file content, file names, or tokens are transmitted to any party other than Google API endpoints.
• No Advertising: User data is never used for advertising, marketing, or tracking.
• No AI Model Training: Google user data accessed by this client is never used to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

5. Revocation of Access and Data Deletion

You retain complete ownership and control over your data and access grants at all times:

• You can instantly revoke this application's access to your Google account at any time by visiting Google Account Permissions and removing access for this application.
• You can remove the local credentials by deleting the relevant remote entry in your local rclone.conf or running rclone config delete <remote-name>.
