TFD Automation · Last updated 14 September 2026

TFD Automation is a private, single-operator tool. It prepares a daily devotional image and saves it into its operator's own Google Drive account. It has no other users, no sign-up, and it is not offered as a service to anyone else.

Google data it accesses

The tool requests exactly one Google OAuth scope:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file

See, edit, create and delete only the specific Google Drive files that this application itself creates.

This scope does not permit the tool to read, list or modify any other file in the Drive account. It requests no access to Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, Photos, profile information, or any other Google service.

How that access is used

The access is used for one purpose only: to write the day's generated files into a folder in the operator's own Drive, and to replace the previous copy when a day is regenerated. Specifically it creates:

a small JSON file holding the day's publicly published quote text and its citation; and
two rendered PNG images of that quote.

Nothing is read from Drive beyond the files the tool has itself created.

Information it does not collect

It collects no personal information from any person.
It has no visitors, no accounts, and no analytics or tracking of any kind.
It does not sell, rent, trade or share data with third parties.
It does not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalised artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

Storage and retention

The generated files live in the operator's own Google Drive and remain there until the operator deletes them. The tool's credentials are stored on the operator's own private machines and are not shared. No copy of any Google user data is kept anywhere else.

Source of the quotations

The daily quotations are published publicly by Sri Sathya Sai Media Centre and remain the property of their publisher. This tool merely typesets them for the operator's personal use.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date above.
