Privacy Policy

Effective Date:
🔒 Our Core Principle
Your data is YOUR data. We store your prompts in YOUR Google Drive and use limited, per-file Drive access rather than broad access to all files in your Drive.
1. Introduction
CloudPrompt ("we", "our", or "the extension") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how CloudPrompt handles your data when you use our browser extension (available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Comet by Perplexity).
2. Information We Process
2.1 Data You Provide to the Extension
- • Prompt Content: The AI prompts you create and save
- • Titles & Tags: Organizational metadata you add to prompts
- • Categories: Folder names and categories you create
- • Usage Statistics: Local count of how many times you use each prompt
2.2 Data the Extension Does NOT Send to CloudPrompt
- The extension does NOT send your prompt content, titles, tags, categories, or local usage counts to CloudPrompt-operated servers
- We do NOT track your browsing history
- We do NOT operate a CloudPrompt-hosted database for your prompt library
- We do NOT sell your prompt content or disclose it to third parties for advertising
- Website analytics are separate from the extension and are described in Section 6.2
3. How We Use Your Information
3.1 Google Drive Storage
-
•
Your prompts are stored in a file called
CloudPrompt/prompts.jsonin YOUR Google Drive -
•
We use the limited
drive.filescope for per-file Google Drive access - • This scope does not grant broad access to all files in your Google Drive
- • You own 100% of your data
3.1a Automatic Backups
Before changes that could risk data loss, CloudPrompt automatically saves timestamped backup copies of your prompts (for example, cloudprompt-autobackup-2026-06-17.json) in the same CloudPrompt folder in YOUR Google Drive.
- • These backups are created only when your prompt data changes in a way that could risk loss
- • Only the most recent few backups are kept — older ones are removed automatically
- • Like all your prompt data, these backups live in YOUR Google Drive — we never receive, see, or store them
- • You can delete these backup files at any time from your Google Drive
3.2 Local Storage
- • We cache your prompts locally in your browser's storage for faster loading
- • This data stays on your device
- • The local cache is not sent to CloudPrompt-operated servers; Google Drive sync is described separately in Section 3.1
3.3 Google OAuth Authentication
- • We use Google's OAuth 2.0 to connect to your Google Drive
-
•
We request minimal permissions:
drive.file - • This scope limits access to specific Drive files used with CloudPrompt, including files the app creates or files you explicitly authorize for use with it
- • You can revoke access at any time in Google Account settings
3.4 Authentication on Non-Chrome Browsers
For users on Microsoft Edge and Comet (Chromium-based browsers), CloudPrompt uses a secure OAuth flow that briefly opens a sign-in tab. After you authorize access, the browser redirects to cloudprompt.app/oauth-callback.html — a static page with no JavaScript, no tracking, and no data collection.
- • The authentication token is in the URL fragment (after #), which is never sent to any server by design
- • The sign-in tab closes automatically after authentication completes
- • No tokens, credentials, or user data are transmitted to or stored on our servers during this process
4. Data Storage & Security
4.1 Where Your Data is Stored
- 1. Google Drive: Your prompts and their automatic backups are saved in your personal Google Drive
- 2. Local Browser Storage: Cached copy for offline access and performance
- 3. No External Servers: We do not operate any servers or databases
4.2 Security Measures
- All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
- Google Drive provides enterprise-grade encryption at rest
- OAuth tokens are stored only on your device, in the extension's local browser storage, and are never sent to CloudPrompt servers. CloudPrompt does not add its own encryption; access is protected by your device and browser profile. You can revoke access at any time in your Google Account settings.
- We never store your Google password
5. Data Retention & Deletion
5.1 How Long We Keep Your Data
- • Your prompts remain in your Google Drive until YOU delete them
- • Automatic backup files remain in your Google Drive until they are removed automatically (only the most recent few are kept) or you delete them
- • Local cache is cleared when you uninstall the extension
- • CloudPrompt does not retain your prompt library on CloudPrompt-operated servers; website analytics retention is described separately in Section 6.2
5.2 How to Delete Your Data
You can delete your data at any time:
- 1. Delete individual prompts: Use the delete button in the extension
-
2.
Delete all data: Uninstall the extension and delete the
CloudPromptfolder (includingprompts.jsonand anycloudprompt-autobackup-*.jsonfiles) from your Google Drive - 3. Disconnect Google Drive: Go to Settings → Disconnect Google Drive
6. Third-Party Services
6.1 Google Drive API
- • We use Google Drive API to store your prompts
- • Google's Privacy Policy applies to their services: policies.google.com/privacy
- • Prompt data is sent to Google Drive only as needed to provide the Drive storage and sync you authorize
- • CloudPrompt's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6.2 Website Analytics
Our website (cloudprompt.app) uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics may process website usage and technical information such as:
- • Page views, sessions, and traffic/referrer information
- • Approximate geographic location, derived from network information
- • Browser, device, operating system, and screen information
-
•
A pseudonymous client identifier stored in a first-party
_gacookie when Analytics storage is available
Google states that Google Analytics receives IP addresses during data collection but does not log or store them in Google Analytics. IP-derived information may be used to determine approximate location. See Google Analytics privacy documentation.
This website analytics data is separate from your CloudPrompt prompt library. Google Analytics uses pseudonymous identifiers, so we do not describe the analytics data as inherently anonymous. The browser extension itself does not use Google Analytics or send your prompt library to Google Analytics.
6.3 Other Third Parties in the Extension
- We do NOT use advertising networks
- We do NOT integrate with any other third-party services in the extension
The Settings page has an optional donation link. It opens PayPal in a new tab only if you click it, and CloudPrompt sends PayPal no data.
7. Children's Privacy
CloudPrompt does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use this extension. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with information, we will delete it immediately.
8. International Data Transfers
Your data is stored in your Google Drive, which may be located in various countries depending on your Google account settings. Google complies with international data transfer regulations including GDPR.
9. Your Privacy Rights
9.1 Rights Under GDPR (EU Users)
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:
- • Access: View all data we store (it's in your Google Drive)
- • Rectification: Edit or correct your prompts at any time
- • Erasure: Delete your prompts or uninstall the extension
- • Data Portability: Export your prompts as JSON or CSV
- • Object: Disconnect Google Drive or uninstall the extension
9.2 Rights Under CCPA (California Users)

10. Permissions Explained
CloudPrompt requests the following browser permissions:
storage
- Why: Save your preferences and cache prompts locally
- What we access: Extension settings, cached prompts
- What we DON'T access: Browsing history, passwords, other extensions' data
unlimitedStorage
- Why: Prevent data loss if your prompt library grows beyond the default 5MB browser storage limit
- What we access: Only CloudPrompt's own local cache
- What we DON'T access: Other extensions' storage, browser data, or system storage
identity
- Why: Authenticate with Google Drive via OAuth
- What we access: OAuth token to access Google Drive
- What we DON'T access: Your Google password, other Google services
tabs
- Why: Handle secure Google sign-in on non-Chrome browsers (Edge, Comet): CloudPrompt opens a temporary sign-in tab, extracts the authentication token, and closes the tab automatically. Also read the address of your active tab when you open the CloudPrompt popup, to show prompts for the AI site you are on.
- What we access: The URL of the temporary sign-in tab to complete authentication, and the URL of your active tab when you open the popup (used on your device only)
- What we DON'T access: Your browsing activity, open tabs, tab history, or any other tab content
contextMenus
- Why: Power CloudPrompt's right-click menu option. When you highlight text and right-click, you can choose "Save to CloudPrompt" to save the highlighted text as a new prompt.
- What we access: Only the text you have selected, and only at the moment you choose "Save to CloudPrompt"
- What we DON'T access: Page content, other form fields, browsing history, or anything you didn't explicitly select or choose
https://www.googleapis.com/*
- Why: Communicate with Google Drive API
- What we access: Specific Drive files used with CloudPrompt, including files the app creates or files you explicitly authorize for use with it
- What we DON'T access: Broad access to all files in your Google Drive
Host Permissions (All Websites)
- Why: To let the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Y) open CloudPrompt on any webpage; to let "Save to CloudPrompt" save text you have highlighted; and to show prompts relevant to the AI platform you're currently using (Context-Aware Prompts).
- What we access (only when you act): The text you have selected (when you save it) and the website address (URL) of your active tab (to surface relevant prompts). We inject CloudPrompt's own overlay when you press the shortcut.
- What we DON'T access: We do not read, collect, or transmit page content, form data, or browsing history. Selected text is stored only in YOUR Google Drive, and the active-tab URL is used locally on your device and is never transmitted to us.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of CloudPrompt after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
