Privacy Policy

Drive Mount and Omarch Notifier · last updated 30 August 2026

This policy covers two personal, single-user tools: Drive Mount, which mounts the owner's Google Drive as a folder on their computer, and Omarch Notifier, which shows the number of unread messages in the owner's Gmail inbox on their desktop status bar.

Both run entirely on their owner's own computer. There is no server, no hosted account, and no operator other than the owner of the Google account they sign in to.

What it accesses

With the account holder's explicit consent at sign-in:

• Drive Mount requests access to the files in that same person's Google Drive, so that those files can be listed, opened, changed and saved from their own computer.
• Omarch Notifier requests read-only access to that same person's Gmail (gmail.readonly), and uses it for one purpose: counting the unread messages in their inbox. It never requests, displays or stores message contents, and it can write nothing — the scope is read-only.

Neither accesses any other Google service, and neither accesses any other person's account.

Where the data goes

Files, and the unread count, move directly between Google's servers and the computer the software is installed on. Nothing is sent to any third party, any analytics service, or any server belonging to the author. This website is a set of static pages and collects nothing — no forms, no cookies, no analytics and no logins.

What is stored, and where

• An OAuth token, so that sign-in is not required on every use. It is stored in a configuration file on the owner's own computer, readable only by that user account.
• A local cache of file contents, so that opening a file does not re-download it. It lives in the owner's cache directory on the same computer and is discarded automatically as it ages.

Neither leaves that computer.

Sharing

No data is sold, shared, transferred or disclosed to anyone. There is nobody to share it with: the software has one user, who is also the owner of the data it touches.

Retention and deletion

Access can be withdrawn at any time by removing this application from Google Account permissions, which invalidates the stored token immediately. The local cache and token are deleted by removing the software's configuration and cache directories. No copy of anything survives elsewhere.

Underlying software

Drive Mount's file transfer is performed by rclone, an open-source project whose own documentation describes its behaviour in detail. Omarch Notifier is a small program written by the author that makes ordinary Gmail API requests.
