rclone-drive is a personal OAuth client used by a single individual to access their own Google Drive using rclone, an open-source command-line file manager. It has no other users.
When authorised, it uses the Google Drive API with the
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive scope to read, upload, modify and
delete files in the Google Drive of the account that granted access — the account
owner's own account.
The only data retained is an OAuth refresh token, written to the rclone configuration file on the owner's own computers. File contents are transferred directly between Google and those computers.
No data is sent to any server operated by this application, because no such server exists. Nothing is shared with, sold to, or disclosed to any third party. There is no analytics, tracking, advertising, or profiling of any kind.
Access can be withdrawn at any time from Google Account permissions. Revoking access invalidates the stored token immediately.
