Software Marketing Docs (“SMD,” “the project,” “we,” “us”) is an independent, personal side project — not a company, and not a commercial product with a dedicated legal or security team. It’s built and maintained on a best-effort basis. This policy explains what data the project touches and how it’s handled, in plain language.
When you sign in with Google, SMD requests the drive.file scope. This is a restricted Google Drive scope: it only lets the app see and manage files and folders that SMD itself creates. It cannot browse, read, or modify the rest of your Drive. We also receive basic profile information from Google (your name, email, and profile picture) to identify your account.
We store your Google OAuth refresh token, encrypted at rest, so the app can create and update documents in your Drive without asking you to re-authenticate every session. Project metadata (names, checklist status, links to documents SMD created) is stored in our database (Supabase/Postgres) tied to your account.
The project relies on a small number of infrastructure providers to operate: Google (OAuth sign-in and Drive API), Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), and an AI provider used to help draft document content. Each of these providers processes data under their own privacy policies and terms; we don’t control how they secure their infrastructure.
Your data is retained for as long as your account exists. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing us at the address below. Because this is a small, unfunded project, deletion requests are handled manually and on a best-effort basis — please allow reasonable time for a response.
We take reasonable, commercially-standard precautions (encryption of sensitive tokens, restricted OAuth scopes) but, as a non-commercial project without a dedicated security team, we cannot guarantee the same level of assurance as a funded company. Use the service with that in mind, and avoid storing highly sensitive information through it.
This project is provided in good faith on an experimental, as-available basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim liability for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from data handled by this project, and nothing here should be read as a guarantee of any particular standard of data protection beyond what is stated above. If you believe we’ve made an inadvertent error in how data is handled, please contact us and we will address it in good faith and within a reasonable time.
This policy may be updated as the project evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
