Purpose

Home Server Backups is a personal utility operated solely for backing up selected data from the operator's privately managed Ubuntu server to the operator's own Google Drive account.

Google Drive access

With the operator's authorization, the utility uses the Google Drive API with the drive.file scope. This permits creating, reading, updating, and deleting files made available to this application. It does not request unrestricted access to all Google Drive files.

Information processed and stored

The utility processes selected local application configuration files and backup archives. Backup content is encrypted locally before upload to Google Drive. An OAuth credential is retained on the operator's server to permit scheduled access. The utility does not sell Google user data or use it for advertising.

Sharing and retention

Backups are stored in the operator's Google Drive account and are accessible to Google in accordance with Google's own service terms, subject to the backup encryption. The utility does not independently share backup content with third parties. Files may be removed by the operator as part of backup retention or manually.

Revoking access and deletion

The operator may revoke the application's access through Google Account third-party connections and delete the backup files through Google Drive. Revocation prevents future Drive API access, but does not by itself delete existing backup files.

Contact

For questions about this personal utility, contact the operator using the support email shown on the Google OAuth consent screen.
