Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 13, 2026
Introduction
Solufile is an AI-powered document chat platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our service.
Google Drive Access
Solufile requests per-file access to your Google Drive using the drive.file scope. This means we can only access files you explicitly select via the Google file picker.
- You choose which files to share — we cannot see your entire Drive
- Selected documents are downloaded for AI processing and indexing
- Selected Google Workspace files (Docs, Sheets, Slides) are exported to processable formats
We do NOT: Access files you haven't selected, list your entire Drive, modify, delete, share, or distribute your files.
