Privacy Policy for DriveLink Extension

Last Updated: 2025-05-11

This Privacy Policy describes how the DriveLink browser extension ("Extension," "we," "us," or "our") handles your information when you use our Extension.

Information We Collect

The DriveLink extension requires you to provide your Google API Key to function. This key is used solely for the purpose of interacting with the Google Drive API to generate direct download links and access file information as requested by you.

How We Use Your Information

The Google API Key you provide is used exclusively to:

Authenticate requests to the Google Drive API on your behalf.
Generate direct download links for files in your Google Drive.
Retrieve file metadata (like file ID) from Google Drive to enable the Extension's features.

Data Storage and Security

Your Google API Key is stored locally on your computer using the browser's storage mechanism (chrome.storage.sync). This means:

The API key is stored only within your browser's local storage for this extension.
If you use Chrome's sync feature, this key may be synced across your devices where you are logged into the same Google account and have enabled extension syncing.
We do not transmit, collect, or store your Google API Key on any external servers or databases. It remains under your control within your browser environment.

You can view or remove your API key at any time through the Extension's settings page.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your Google API Key or any personal information with third parties. The API key is used only for its intended purpose as described above, which involves direct communication between your browser and Google's APIs.

Third-Party Services

The Extension interacts with the Google Drive API. Your use of the Google Drive API is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We are not responsible for the data handling practices of Google.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
