Flopedia Engine ("the app") is a personal, single-user service. It is run by one person, its owner, for their own use, and is not offered to anyone else. This page says what Google user data the app accesses, why, where it is kept, and how access can be revoked.
Data the app accesses
- Files and their metadata (names, folders, modification times, sizes, checksums) in selected folders of the owner's own Google Drive, read through the Google Drive API with the owner's authorization.
- The app requests the Google Drive scope (
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive) because it must read files it did not create. It reads only the folders its owner selected; other folders are never requested. - It writes to the owner's Drive in three narrow ways only: it appends lines to existing log files, creates new files in an inbox folder, and updates a few status and report files it maintains itself. It never deletes, moves or shares files.
The app accesses no data of any other Google user. It has no sign-up and no other users.
Why
The data is used only for the owner's own notes and knowledge system: keeping a searchable copy of the owner's notes, a history of their changes, and reports for the owner. The owner's own assistant sessions (Claude, through a connector the owner set up in their own account) read these files when the owner works with them; that is the purpose of the app, at the owner's request, not a transfer to anyone else.
Where it is kept
A copy of the files the app reads is kept on a server the owner rents and controls. The data is:
- never sold;
- never shared with or transferred to third parties, other than as described above at the owner's own request;
- never used for advertising;
- never used by the app to develop, improve or train artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.
Access to the server is restricted to its owner. Connections use encryption in transit, and the app's Google credential is stored with restricted file permissions. The copy is kept while the app runs and can be deleted by the owner at any time; deleting it loses nothing, since the Drive remains the original.

Revoking access
The owner can revoke the app's access at any time: Google Account → Security → Third-party access (myaccount.google.com/connections), select Flopedia Engine, and remove its access. The app then stops reading and writing the Drive at once.
