Pageboat
Privacy policy
Effective November 7, 2026
Pageboat is a browser extension that saves web pages and files to your Google Drive. This policy explains what data Pageboat uses, where it goes and how to remove it.
The short version
- Pageboat has no servers. Nothing is sent to us.
- Pages and files you save go from your browser straight to your own Google Drive.
- Pageboat can only see the files and folders it created itself, not the rest of your Drive.
- No analytics, no ads, no tracking. We do not sell or share your data.
Data Pageboat uses
- Your Google account email. Read from Google when you sign in, so Pageboat can show which account it saves to. Stored in the extension's local storage on your computer.
- Google access token. Lets Pageboat upload files to your Google Drive. Kept in the browser's memory only and gone when you close the browser. It expires after an hour.
- Pages you choose to save. When you press a save button, Pageboat makes a PDF or a screenshot of that tab and uploads it to your Google Drive. The page title and address are used for the file name. Pageboat does not read pages you do not save.
- Files you choose to save from links. Pageboat downloads the file with your login on that site, then uploads it to your Google Drive.
- Settings. Your file name pattern, theme, the folder you last saved to and recently used folders (names and Drive IDs). Stored in the extension's local storage on your computer.
Google user data
Pageboat asks Google for three permissions: your email address (email, openid) and
access to files it creates in your Google Drive (drive.file). It uses them only to show your account
and to create folders and upload the files you save. It does not read, change or delete any other files in your
Drive.
Pageboat's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data from Google is not transferred to anyone, not used for ads, and not read by people.
Who receives your data
Only Google, as the provider of Google Drive and Google sign-in, and only the data described above. Google handles it under the Google Privacy Policy. Pageboat's developers receive nothing.
Removing your data
- Sign out in Pageboat's settings. This deletes the stored email and token and revokes Pageboat's access to your Google account.
- You can also remove access at myaccount.google.com/connections.
- Uninstalling the extension deletes everything it stored in your browser.
- Files you saved stay in your Google Drive until you delete them there.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
