Working with Google Drive
Where is the content stored?
When you use Google Drive to store maps, all changes to map content are sent from your browser to Google Drive using HTTPS. To enable real-time editing and collaboration, map data may be temporarily processed and momentarily stored on Mindmup servers during an active editing session. Once the editing session is completed, this temporary data is wiped and Mindmup does not keep any additional copies or backups.

What privileges does Mindmup request from Google Apps?
Mindmup requests privileges from Google Drive only to access and update map data while you are actively using the application. Access is limited to what is necessary for the editing session, and Mindmup does not retain permanent access to your data outside that session.
How secure are the files stored to Google Drive?
Mindmup does not permanently store your files. They are stored in your Google Drive account, and standard Google Drive security applies. Users can choose who can see and edit files using the normal Google Drive sharing mechanisms.
