TRANSPARENCY / YOUR DATA

Privacy Policy.

What REDOWN handles, why it needs access, and what happens when you connect your own cloud.

Effective: November 1, 2026   ·   Product: REDOWN Click2Cloud browser extension and informational website

REDOWN is a tool for user-directed file transfers to connected cloud storage. This policy describes the intended product data flows and the website. The Google Drive integration is planned, not yet generally available, and its actual authorization behavior will be described here before public release.

1. Who operates REDOWN, and how to contact us

REDOWN is an independently developed browser extension. To contact the developer about this policy, account access or a privacy request, use the public support issue form for non-sensitive questions. Please never include access tokens, passwords, personal files or private URLs in a public issue. For a sensitive issue, open a general issue requesting a private communication channel without sharing the sensitive information itself.

2. Data the extension may process

Depending on your use and settings, REDOWN needs to handle the following types of information to carry out a transfer or manage a cloud destination:

3. Why this data is used

REDOWN processes this information to authenticate to your chosen provider, show your authorized storage destinations, complete the file action you requested, display transfer status, support navigation and previews, preserve your selected settings and troubleshoot failures. Access to content or metadata should be limited to what is needed for the action you initiate.

4. Where information goes

When you connect Cloudflare, the extension communicates with Cloudflare services to authorize operations and access your authorized R2 resources. For supported remote saves, the selected file is transferred to the cloud storage destination you authorize without first saving it to your local device. This requires processing by the selected cloud service and the remote source, subject to their policies. As a result, the remote source host and Cloudflare infrastructure necessarily process technical request and transfer information. Other operations, including local uploads and browser-assisted transfers, can use data from your computer.

Configuration, authorization state and transfer history may be retained in your browser's extension storage. Files saved to the cloud remain subject to the connected provider's storage and privacy practices. We recommend reviewing Cloudflare's privacy policy.

If you choose a feature involving GitHub or another supported destination, the corresponding service may receive the files, metadata and API requests necessary for the action you select. A separate provider's availability is not implied by its appearance on a roadmap.

5. Google Drive and Google user data

Google Drive integration is planned and is not represented as currently released. Once offered, REDOWN intends to request the narrowly scoped Google Drive permission https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file so the user can create and work with files explicitly selected for REDOWN. The intended use of Google data is to perform user-requested transfers, browse the files the app is permitted to access and report results. Google user data must not be used to target advertisements or for unrelated purposes.

Before Google Drive is released, this section must be checked against the actual app behavior and Google API Services User Data Policy, including all permitted recipients, retention, deletion, access and any limited-use commitments that apply. REDOWN does not claim to have production Google authorization while that feature is still in development.

6. Access, retention and deletion

REDOWN may keep local preferences, connection details and transfer history until you clear them through available controls, browser storage removal or extension uninstall. Uninstalling REDOWN or disconnecting a cloud account does not automatically mean that files already transferred to your own cloud account, cloud infrastructure, or a provider's own records are deleted. Manage remote files through your provider or an authorized REDOWN action. Revoking a connected provider's access may also require visiting that provider's security settings.

Cloud providers may keep their own logs or records subject to their terms and retention policies. Exact local storage and credential cleanup behavior must be verified on the released extension build and updated here if necessary.

7. Security and responsible access

REDOWN aims to request permissions necessary to perform the features you choose and to avoid exposing credentials in logs, reports or public pages. Any cloud authorization gives REDOWN access according to the permissions granted. You should connect only accounts you control and avoid uploading data that you do not have permission to store. No online or cloud service can promise zero risk.

8. This informational website

This website is a static set of pages. Its source implementation includes no website login form, visitor analytics script, advertising pixel or external tracking script. The hosting service necessarily processes ordinary HTTP requests and may maintain hosting and security logs under its own policies. Following links to GitHub or third-party services takes you to those services, which have their own policies.

9. Children, changes and requests

REDOWN is not specifically directed at children. We may revise this policy as REDOWN's capabilities, storage integrations or regulatory requirements change. The effective date will be updated when the policy materially changes. For privacy requests, see the contact instructions above.
