Privacy Policy — Drive Workspace Explorer

Zero-Server Architecture: Drive Workspace Explorer operates 100% locally inside your web browser. We do not own, operate, or transmit your data to any external or third-party servers.

1. Data Accessed

When you sign in with Google, the extension requests access to the Google Drive API (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive) solely to:

• Display your Google Drive folder and file hierarchy inside the Chrome Side Panel.
• Perform file management actions explicitly initiated by you (create folder, rename, move, star, trash/restore, and drag-and-drop file upload).
• Sync the side panel tree with your currently active Google Drive browser tab when you click the Sync button.

2. Data Storage & Retention

• No External Databases: No file names, file contents, metadata, or personal identifiers are ever collected, logged, or stored outside your device.
• Local Browser Storage Only: Expanded folder IDs and UI preferences are stored locally in your browser's localStorage / chrome.storage.local and can be cleared at any time by signing out or uninstalling the extension.

3. Google API Services User Data Policy (Limited Use Compliance)

Drive Workspace Explorer's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, share, or transfer user data to any third parties, advertising networks, analytics providers, or AI models.
