Use of Google User Data (OAuth and Google Drive Integration)

How We Use Google User Data

Blomp’s use of Google user data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use your Google user data solely to enable the import and backup of your files from Google Drive into your Blomp account. This includes:

  • Displaying your Google Drive file and folder list

  • Downloading those files into your Blomp storage
  • Displaying metadata such as filenames and modification dates

We do not use your data for any other purposes.

We do not share, sell, or disclose your Google user data to any third party. All data remains securely within our system and is only used for the functionality described above.

No Use Beyond App Functionality

We do not use Google user data for advertising, analytics, or any other purpose beyond the file import and backup functionality you request when you use the integration.

No Transfer to Third Parties for Unrelated Use

Google user data is never transferred to any third party for any unrelated services. The only data transfer that occurs is from your Google Drive to your Blomp account, upon your request, and is fully encrypted.

Data Retention and Deletion

We only store files you explicitly import. If you delete those files from your Blomp account, they are permanently deleted from our servers in accordance with our data retention policy. If you disconnect your Google Drive account, all associated access is revoked immediately.
