← Back to Save Markdown to Drive
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2025
Save Markdown to Drive is an open-source web app that clips webpages to Markdown and saves them to your Google Drive. This policy explains what data is accessed and how it is handled.
What we access
- Google Drive (drive.file): The app can create and manage only the files and folders it creates. It cannot read or modify any other files in your Drive.
- Google Drive metadata (drive.metadata.readonly): Used only to list your existing Drive folders so you can choose where to save clippings. No folder contents are read.
- Webpage content: When you clip a URL, the page HTML is fetched via a server-side proxy to extract the article text. The HTML is processed in your browser and is not stored on any server.
What we do NOT do
- We do not store, log, or transmit your Google credentials or OAuth tokens.
- We do not read, access, or store any Drive files other than those created by this app.
- We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising or analytics.
- We do not create user accounts or store any personal information.
- We do not retain webpage content after it has been saved to your Drive.
Data storage
Your OAuth access token is held in memory only for the duration of your session. A flag indicating you have previously connected is stored in your browser's localStorage to avoid asking you to sign in every time. No data is stored on our servers.
The folder you last saved to is stored in your browser's localStorage for convenience. This never leaves your device.
