This policy describes the intended operation of Personal Cloud Backup, a private utility used by its operator for their own Google account. It is not a public service and accepts no other users' backup submissions.
Data access and use
The utility uses Google's drive.file permission to create, read, update and remove backup files created by or specifically authorized for this app. It does not request general access to unrelated Drive files, Gmail or Google Photos. Google API data is used only for backup storage, verification, recovery and operator-directed maintenance.
Storage and security
Selected backup contents, which may include personal or sensitive information, are encrypted locally with restic before upload to Google Drive. Google processes account, file and API-request metadata; encryption does not hide all metadata, such as object sizes or access times.
Authorization credentials and recovery secrets are held in private storage controlled by the operator, including their password manager. This information site does not accept backup data, passwords or authorization tokens.
Sharing
Google Drive provides storage for the encrypted repository. The operator does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI or machine-learning models. Data is not deliberately shared with other users or unrelated services by this utility. Provider processing remains subject to the providers' own terms and policies.
Retention and control
Retention is controlled by the operator's backup configuration and decisions; this page does not promise an automatic deletion deadline. The operator can revoke the app's access through Google Account settings. Revocation alone does not erase existing backups or separately stored credential copies; those require separate operator action.
This website
These static pages contain no forms, analytics scripts or tracking pixels. Cloudflare hosts the website and may process visitor request metadata, such as IP addresses and headers, and provide security features under its privacy policy. Google handles authorization and Drive storage under its privacy policy.
Contact and updates
For questions, use the support email displayed on the app's Google authorization screen. This notice will be updated if the utility's data practices change. Google's API Services User Data Policy also governs use of Google API data.
