Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4/11/2026

At BrandFriend, we believe your brand assets should remain under your control. Our architecture follows a "Zero-Mirror" model, ensuring that your core brand files are never mirrored on our infrastructure.

1. Zero-Mirror Storage Architecture

When you use the BrandFriend Lite tier, all brand assets (Logos, Graphics, PNGs) are stored directly in your personal Google Drive in a folder named "BrandFriend Assets [DO NOT DELETE]".

  • No File Mirroring: We do not copy, store, or mirror your actual image files on our servers.
  • Storage Quota: These files consume your own Google Drive storage quota.
  • Access Control: We only access these files when you are actively using the dashboard or add-on, via a secure temporary proxy using your own Google authentication token.

2. Data We Process (Metadata)

To provide the management interface, we store limited metadata in our secure database (AWS DynamoDB):

  • Identity: Your email address for authentication and kit mapping.
  • Kit Metadata: The names of your brand kits and the timestamp of creation.
  • Brand Values: The HEX colour codes and Google Font family names you define.
  • File Pointers: We store the unique Google Drive File ID and file name. This is a pointer that allows us to find the file in your Drive; it is not the file itself.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to:

  • Authenticate your access to your brand kits.
  • Generate a temporary secure proxy for viewing thumbnails in the dashboard.
  • Enable the Google Workspace Add-on to find and insert assets from your Drive into your documents.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell your data. We use industry-standard infrastructure providers (AWS and Vercel) and the Google Workspace API to provide our services. Your data remains strictly between your Google Drive and our application interface.

5. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You have total control. You can delete your brand kits at any time via the dashboard. You can also revoke our access to your Google Drive at any time through your Google Account Security settings.
