Project North Star is a personal technology project. This website provides information and authentication support for a personal Google Drive synchronization setup using the third-party GSync plugin for Obsidian.
GSync requests Google Drive permissions to synchronize files between a local Obsidian vault and a selected Google Drive folder.
The plugin requests full Google Drive access but is designed to read and modify files only within the folder configured by the user.
Notes are transferred directly between the user's device and Google Drive. Project North Star does not operate an intermediary server for these transfers.
Authentication credentials are stored locally by the GSync plugin on the user's device. Private notes and authentication credentials are not published through this website.
Project North Star does not sell Google user data or use it for advertising.
The website is hosted using GitHub Pages, which may process technical information associated with website visits under GitHub's own privacy practices.
Synced files remain in the user's local vault and Google Drive until they are modified or deleted through those services or the synchronization plugin.
Users can revoke the application's Google account access at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions and remove locally stored credentials from the plugin.
This project uses Google Drive, GitHub Pages, and the independently developed GSync plugin. Project North Star is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google, Obsidian, or the GSync developer.
This policy will be updated if the project's data handling practices change.
