Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

ShareGates ("we") helps creators sell access to files stored in their own cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive). This policy describes how we handle information when you use our cloud service.

Information we collect

Account data: Google account email, name, and subject identifier when you sign in with Google OAuth.
Storage tokens: OAuth refresh tokens for your connected storage, encrypted at rest.
Payment configuration: Stripe/PayPal API keys you provide (BYOK), encrypted at rest. We do not store buyer card numbers.
Transaction metadata: order IDs, share IDs, and access grants for download authorization.

How we use information

Authenticate sellers and stream files from their storage on authorized downloads.
Process payments through your configured payment providers.
Operate, secure, and improve the service.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share data only with services you connect (Google, Stripe, PayPal) as needed to provide the product, or when required by law.

Google Drive add-on (sidebar)

When you use the ShareGates add-on inside Google Drive, we receive metadata about files you select (name, id, mime type) and your Google account email via OAuth. We use this only to create paid download links you configure.

Retention & deletion

You may disconnect storage and uninstall ShareGates from Google Workspace Marketplace. Contact us to request account deletion.
