Private Backup Connector

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Overview

Private Backup Connector is a personal, non-commercial utility used to transfer encrypted backup files to Google Drive. It is operated privately and is not offered as a public service.

Google Account Access

The application uses Google OAuth 2.0 to obtain authorisation to access Google Drive.

Access is used solely for storing, listing, retrieving and managing backup files within the authorised Google Drive account.

Data Collection and Use

The application does not collect personal information for advertising, analytics, profiling or marketing.

Google account authorisation credentials are stored locally in the application's configuration and are not intentionally shared with third parties.

Encryption and Storage

Backup files are encrypted locally before transmission to Google Drive.

Encrypted file contents and filenames are stored in Google Drive. The encryption passwords are retained locally and are not uploaded as part of the backup process.

Data Sharing

The application does not sell personal information or share backup data with advertisers or data brokers.

Google processes the encrypted files as the cloud storage provider, subject to its applicable terms and privacy policies.

Data Retention and Deletion

Backup files are retained according to the operator's configured backup retention policy.

The operator can delete stored backups and revoke the application's Google Account access at any time.

Security

The application uses encrypted HTTPS connections to communicate with Google Drive.

OAuth credentials and encryption passwords must be protected by the operator.

Changes

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the application's functionality or data-handling practices.
