Privacy Policy

1. Local Data

PageKeep is designed as a local-first application.

Your library information, including book records, reading status, notes, quotes, collections, tags, purchase information, and locally selected cover images, is stored on your device unless you choose to use a backup feature.

PageKeep does not operate a separate server that collects or stores your personal library.

2. Google Drive Access

Google Drive backup is optional.

If you connect a Google account, PageKeep requests only the following Google Drive permission:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata

This permission allows PageKeep to access only its own private application-data folder in your Google Drive account.

PageKeep cannot use this permission to browse, read, modify, or delete your ordinary Google Drive files.

3. How Google Drive Data Is Used

When you use Google Drive backup, PageKeep may upload backup files containing your PageKeep library data and locally stored cover images to PageKeep's private application-data folder in your Google Drive account.

This data is used only to provide:

• manual backup;
• automatic backup, when enabled by you;
• restoration of a PageKeep backup on the same or another compatible installation of PageKeep.

Automatic backup is opt-in and runs only when enabled by the user.

PageKeep may automatically remove older PageKeep backup files as part of its backup-retention process. This process applies only to backup files created and managed by PageKeep.

4. Google Authorization Data

Google authorization tokens are used only to perform the Google Drive operations requested by PageKeep.

Access tokens are not permanently stored by PageKeep.

PageKeep may store limited account information necessary to identify the connected Google Drive account, such as the account identifier and display information returned by Google.

5. Sharing and Sale of Data

Sapling Works does not sell Google user data.

PageKeep does not share Google user data with advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

Google Drive backup data is transferred only between PageKeep and Google Drive for the backup and restore functions described in this policy.

6. Disconnecting Google Drive

You may disconnect Google Drive from within PageKeep.

Disconnecting revokes PageKeep's Google authorization and removes the local connection information used by PageKeep.

Disconnecting does not automatically delete existing PageKeep backup files already stored in your Google Drive application-data folder.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Local PageKeep data remains on your device until you edit or delete it, clear the application's data, or uninstall the application.

Google Drive backup files remain in Google's storage subject to PageKeep's backup-retention behavior and your Google account.

Uninstalling PageKeep removes local application data from the device. If a valid Google Drive backup remains available, it may be restored after reinstalling and reconnecting the same Google account.

8. External Book Information Services

Some PageKeep search features may communicate search terms, book titles, ISBNs, or similar bibliographic queries to external book-information providers in order to retrieve book metadata.

Those external services process requests according to their own privacy policies.

Your PageKeep library itself is not automatically uploaded to those services.

9. Security

PageKeep uses HTTPS when communicating with supported online services.

Google Drive authorization credentials are not included in backup files and are not intentionally written to application logs.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when PageKeep's features or data practices change.

The current version will remain available on this page, with the date of the latest revision shown above.
