The fotokiste-backup application is a personal backup tool operated by a single individual for their own family photo library. It is not offered to the public.
The application requests only the Google Drive drive.file scope. It can access only files that it creates itself, and it cannot see any other content in the user's Google Drive.
It uses that access solely to upload, read back and delete encrypted backup files in the owner's own Google Drive. The backups are encrypted before upload, so their contents are not readable by Google or anyone without the owner's password.
No Google user data is shared with, sold to or transferred to any third party. No analytics, advertising or tracking are used. Backup files are kept in the owner's Google Drive until the owner deletes them or revokes the application's access.
The application's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
