Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 22, 2026 (last updated October 19, 2026)
RenameBee (“we”, “us”) is a Chrome extension that renames files in Google Drive. This policy explains exactly what data RenameBee accesses, why, where it is kept, and your choices. The operator of RenameBee is Autopilot Digital LLC (an Illinois LLC in formation), Champaign, Illinois. Contact: support@renamebee.com.
1. The short version
- RenameBee can only access the specific Google Drive files you choose in Google’s file picker.
- It reads file names and basic metadata and changes file names. It never opens, reads, downloads or uploads file contents.
- We do not run a server that receives or stores your Google data. Everything happens inside your browser.
- We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models.
2. Google user data we access
RenameBee requests one Google permission (OAuth scope): https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file – “See, edit, create, and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app.” With it, RenameBee accesses, for the files you select only:
- File ID, file name, file type (MIME type), parent folder ID, created and modified dates, and whether you are allowed to rename it.
RenameBee does not request access to your whole Drive, your Gmail, contacts or any other Google service. It may also see the email address of the Google account you sign in with only to the extent Chrome’s sign-in shows it; RenameBee does not store or transmit it.
3. How we use Google user data
We use the data above only to provide RenameBee’s single, user-facing feature: showing you a preview of new file names and renaming the files you chose, and undoing a rename when you ask. We do not use Google user data for any other purpose.
4. Where data is stored and for how long
- Sign-in token: Google issues a short-lived access token that Chrome keeps for RenameBee. It stays in your browser and is sent only to Google’s APIs (
googleapis.com). - Undo history: for your last 10 rename batches, RenameBee keeps each file’s ID, old name and new name in your browser’s extension storage (
chrome.storage.local) so “Undo” works. It never leaves your computer. It is deleted when you uninstall the extension. - Selected files list: kept in temporary browser session storage and cleared when you close the browser.
- We do not keep copies of any Google user data on our own servers, because we do not have servers that receive it.
5. Sharing and transfer
We do not share, sell or transfer Google user data to anyone. Data goes only between your browser and Google. The file picker page on renamebee.com loads Google’s own Picker code, which talks directly to Google; that page does not record what you pick.
6. Payments (Pro plan only)
If you start a trial or buy Pro, payment and subscription details are handled by ExtensionPay (extensionpay.com) and Stripe (stripe.com). They receive your email address and payment information under their own privacy policies. We receive your email, plan and payment status so we can unlock Pro and answer support requests. We never see your full card number. ExtensionPay stores a random license key in your browser’s extension sync storage to remember that you have paid. Payment data is never combined with your Google Drive data.
7. Analytics, ads and tracking
RenameBee contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code. Our website does not use cookies of its own. (Google’s Picker page may set Google cookies under Google’s Privacy Policy.)
8. Google API Services User Data Policy – Limited Use
RenameBee’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. In particular, we do not transfer Google user data to others except as needed to provide the feature you asked for, for security, to comply with law, or as part of a merger with your consent; we do not use it for advertising; we do not allow humans to read it unless you ask us to for support (and give permission), for security, or to comply with law; and we do not use it to develop, improve or train generalized AI or machine-learning models.
9. Security
All requests to Google use HTTPS. RenameBee runs only code included in the extension package (no remotely loaded code), and asks for the minimum Chrome permissions: identity (Google sign-in), storage (undo history, settings) and access to googleapis.com.
10. Your choices and deleting your data
- Remove RenameBee’s access to your Google account any time at myaccount.google.com/connections.
- Uninstalling the extension deletes its undo history and settings from your browser.
- To delete payment/subscription records, email us; ExtensionPay/Stripe may retain records required by law.
11. Children
RenameBee is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
12. Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date above, and for material changes we will notify users in the extension before the change takes effect.
