We use the secure OAuth standard which means you authorize adenin accessing your OneDrive data and in turn authorize us to share this data with SharePoint.

No data is ever stored on adenin servers, instead it is directly sent to the client (in this case SharePoint) who will treat it in accordance with their privacy policy.
