5. User Content and Ownership

You retain full ownership of all writing, projects, and media you create or upload (“User Content”).

Do not use AI-generated content in violation of law or others’ rights.

7. Google Drive Integration

By enabling Google Drive sync, you authorize Squirrel Writer to read, write, and manage files only within your app-linked folder. You also authorize Squirrel Writer to create documents in your Drive on your behalf (for Exports). We do not view or modify unrelated Drive files.
