Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 10, 2026
This policy describes the privacy principles for AUREON, a file-management and cloud-storage application under development by the AUREON project.
Important development notice: AUREON's Google Drive connection and complete cloud-transfer service are still being implemented. This policy describes the intended handling that must be in place before those features are released. Do not connect important accounts or rely on cloud operations until the relevant feature is available and its in-app privacy notice is shown.
1. Information AUREON may process
Depending on the features you use, AUREON may process account details needed to sign you in, device and app settings, file names and metadata, file contents selected for transfer, backup and synchronization records, and diagnostic information needed to keep the service reliable.
2. Google user data
If and when you choose to connect Google Drive, AUREON will request Google permissions that are presented on Google's consent screen. Depending on the final approved integration and permissions, this may include access to Drive file metadata and file content needed to display, upload, download, organize or synchronize files that you choose to manage through AUREON. AUREON will not use Google user data for advertising, sell it, or use it to build advertising profiles.
Google data will be used only to provide the user-facing storage and file-management features you request. It will not be shared with third parties except service providers necessary to operate the feature, where permitted and disclosed, or when required by law. AUREON will not transfer Google user data to unrelated parties.
3. Storage and security
AUREON is designed to use its central authentication service and backend to support account access and cloud integrations. Authentication credentials and provider tokens must be protected using appropriate encryption and access controls. The final production implementation and deployment configuration must be reviewed before Google Drive integration is enabled. Never share passwords, authorization codes or recovery keys with anyone.
4. Retention and deletion
Account data and service records are intended to be retained only for as long as needed to provide the service, meet security requirements, or comply with applicable law. When account or provider disconnection and deletion controls become available, users will be able to request removal of associated integration data. Disconnecting a provider from AUREON does not necessarily delete files stored with that provider; manage those files directly with the provider.
5. Your choices
You choose whether to connect a third-party cloud account and which available features to use. You can review the permissions shown by Google before granting access and can revoke AUREON's access from your Google Account security settings.
6. Children's privacy
AUREON is not designed for children under 13, and the project does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13.
7. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as AUREON's functionality and data practices evolve. The latest version will be published on this page with its updated date. Material changes should also be communicated in the application before the affected data practices begin.
8. Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact the AUREON project through the official GitHub repository issue page. Do not include passwords, access tokens, authorization codes or private files in a public issue.
