Privacy policy

This policy covers the personal OAuth client used to connect the rclone command-line app to Google Drive, and the informational site you are viewing.

Data accessed and used

When you authorize the client, Google issues OAuth tokens to rclone. Depending on the permissions you approve, rclone can access Drive file and folder metadata, such as names and modification times, and file contents, including Google Docs. rclone uses this access to carry out commands you run, such as listing, copying, syncing, and deleting files.

Storage and sharing

rclone stores authorization tokens in its configuration file on the machine where it runs and retains them while the remote is configured. File contents are sent to destinations selected in your commands. Google Drive data and tokens do not pass through this website. The OAuth client operator does not receive your Drive files or tokens, sell them, or use them for advertising.

This website serves static pages through Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and protect the site.

Revoking access and deleting data

To revoke the client’s access, remove it from your Google Account connections. To remove the locally stored tokens, delete the corresponding rclone remote from your configuration. Any files you copied remain at the destinations you chose until you delete those copies.
