What Vlkea Parse Does

Vlkea Parse is a document conversion service. You connect your cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox), select folders to watch, and Vlkea Parse converts supported documents to Markdown format. Converted files are written back to your cloud storage or returned via the API.

Data We Collect

• Account information: Email address and password (hashed with Argon2id) when you register.
• OAuth tokens: When you connect Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox, we store OAuth access and refresh tokens to access your files on your behalf. These tokens are encrypted at rest.
• Usage metadata: Conversion counts, file formats processed, job timestamps, and error codes. We never store or log document content.
• Waitlist email: If you join the waitlist, we store your email address to send a launch notification.

Google Drive User Data

Vlkea Parse accesses your Google Drive using the drive.file scope, which limits access to files you explicitly open or create with Vlkea Parse. We:

• Read files from folders you select for conversion.
• Write converted Markdown files back to folders you designate.
• Do not access, read, or modify any other files in your Drive.
• Do not store document content — files are processed in memory and discarded after conversion.
• Do not share, sell, or transfer your Google user data to any third party.

OneDrive / Microsoft User Data

Vlkea Parse accesses your OneDrive using the Files.ReadWrite permission. The same principles apply: we only access files in folders you select, process in memory, and do not store document content.

Dropbox User Data

Vlkea Parse accesses your Dropbox with scoped file permissions. The same principles apply: we only access files in folders you select, process in memory, and do not store document content.

How We Process Documents

Document conversion happens entirely in memory. Each file is:

• Downloaded from your cloud storage into memory.
• Validated via content analysis (not file extension).
• Converted to Markdown in an isolated process with no network access.
• Sanitized to remove potentially unsafe content.
• Written back to your cloud storage or returned via API response.
• Discarded from memory. No document content is persisted to disk or logged.

Data Retention

• Account data: Retained while your account is active. Deleted upon account deletion request.
• OAuth tokens: Retained while your cloud storage connection is active. Revoked and deleted when you disconnect.
• Usage metadata: Retained for up to 12 months for billing and debugging purposes.
• Document content: Not retained. Never written to disk or logs.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. We use privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics on this site.

Your Rights (GDPR)

You can:

• Export all your data via the GDPR export feature in your account settings.
• Delete your account and all associated data at any time.
• Disconnect cloud storage providers, which revokes our access and deletes stored tokens.

Security

Passwords are hashed with Argon2id. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. Each conversion runs in an isolated process. All connections use TLS.
