Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information MART Drive (“we”, “the Service”) collects when you use our cloud storage and team workspace web app, how it is used, and the choices you have.

1. Information we access

Google account profile: your name, email address, profile photo and a unique user ID, provided through Google Sign-In (Firebase Authentication).
Google Drive files you upload: MART Drive requests the limited scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file. It lets the app create, read, copy, rename, share and delete only the files created through MART Drive. It cannot access your other Drive files.
Content you create in the app: folder names, file names and metadata (type, size, Drive file ID), notes, saved links and their preview details, starred and trash status, and organization names, logos and member email addresses. This is stored in Google Firebase Cloud Firestore.

2. How we use information

To sign you in and show your account in the app.
To upload, display, organize, share and delete your files and content as you request.
To let organization owners add or remove members and let members collaborate.
To generate link previews for URLs you save.

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models. We do not allow humans to read your Google user data except with your consent, for security or abuse investigation, or to comply with law.

3. Google API Services User Data Policy

MART Drive’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data from Google APIs is used only to provide and improve the user-facing features described above.

4. Sharing

With organization members: content you place in an organization is visible to, and editable by, that organization’s members. Files may be shared with member emails through Google Drive permissions.
With service providers: Google (Sign-In, Drive, Firebase, Fonts) processes data to run the Service. When you save a link, its URL is sent to a link-preview service (microlink.io) to fetch the title, description and image.
Legal: we may disclose information if required by law.

5. Storage, security and retention

File contents are stored in your Google Drive. App data is stored in Firebase and protected by access rules so that only you, and members of your organizations, can read it. Your browser stores a sign-in session and a temporary Drive access token (valid about one hour) in local storage. We keep app data until you delete it or the organization is deleted. Deleting an item in the app removes its record; deleting forever also removes the file from Drive when you uploaded it.

6. Your choices and rights

Edit or delete your files, notes, links and folders at any time in the app.

7. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version.
