Permissions Explained
Nucleus AI requests these permissions:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| See and download files | Read your documents for analysis |
| Create files | Save AI-generated content to Drive |

Your data is secure: We only access files you explicitly mention or request, and we never store your file contents permanently.
