Is Tuck safe to use?

Yes — here is exactly how Tuck handles your data


Your files never touch Tuck's servers


When you upload a file, it goes directly to your own Google Drive. Tuck does not store a copy of your documents anywhere.


Tuck only gets limited access to your Drive


Tuck requests the drive.file permission scope — the most restricted Drive access Google offers. This means Tuck can only see and move files that Tuck itself created or that you explicitly uploaded through Tuck. It cannot access anything else in your Drive.


Tuck cannot read, edit, or delete files that already exist in your Google Drive.


AI processing uses zero-data-retention terms


To categorize a file, Tuck extracts its text and sends it to an AI model. The AI provider operates under zero-data-retention terms: your content is processed and immediately discarded. It is never stored, logged, or used for model training.


Your password is never involved


Tuck uses Google Sign-In (OAuth). You sign in through Google's own login screen — Tuck never sees your Google password.


You can revoke access at any time


Go to myaccount.google.com/permissions, find Tuck, and click Remove access. This immediately cuts off Tuck's ability to access your Drive.


What Tuck does store


The only data Tuck keeps on its servers is:


  • Your email address (from Google Sign-In)
  • File names and which category each file was assigned
  • The date each file was organized


No document contents. No passwords. No payment card details (handled by our payment processor).
