Google User Data Access and Usage

Our application integrates with Google Drive to provide you with an enhanced user experience, enabling you to easily upload or share specific documents with us. To facilitate this integration, our application accesses, uses, stores, and shares Google user data as follows:

  1. Drive API Scopes: Our application utilizes the following two Google Drive API scopes:

    • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata – This allows our application to see, create, and delete its own configuration data in your Google Drive.

    • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file – This allows our application to see, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with our application.

  2. Data Usage: When you upload or share documents with us through Google Drive, we index and calculate vectors of numbers (known as "embeddings") that represent those documents. These embeddings are used in conjunction with large language models like ChatGPT to answer users' questions about the documents.

  3. Sharing Options: You can decide the access level for the documents you upload or share with us through the following options:

    • Private – The document is accessible only by you.

    • Team – The document is accessible by your colleagues and team members.

    • Public – The document is accessible to all users of our application.

We take the privacy and security of your Google user data seriously and will only use this data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and for the purposes specified above. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our application's access and usage of your Google user data, please contact us using the information provided in the "Contact Us" section of our Privacy Policy.
