Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes the Google Drive integration used by SEOrva Backup, a private administrative backup system supporting SEOrva infrastructure.

1. Purpose

SEOrva Backup uses Google Drive as a destination for encrypted infrastructure backups, including backup archives and versioned backup repository data. It is not a public Google sign-in service.

2. Google Drive Access

The integration requests the Google Drive drive.file permission. This allows it to create and manage files within its authorized scope, including backup files created by the integration. It is not intended to inspect unrelated personal Google Drive documents.

3. How Data Is Used

Google Drive access is used to upload, list, retrieve, verify, maintain, and delete backup repository files as necessary for backup and recovery operations. Google Drive data is not used for advertising, profiling, or training AI models.

4. Storage and Security

Backup content is encrypted before being uploaded to Google Drive using the configured backup encryption system. Google Drive may process file metadata, such as storage object names, sizes, and timestamps. OAuth credentials are stored on the administrator-controlled server with restricted file permissions.

5. Data Sharing

The integration uses Google's services to store and retrieve backups. It is not designed to sell Google user data or disclose backup contents to advertisers or unrelated third parties.

6. Retention and Deletion

Backups may be retained as multiple recoverable versions. Retention periods are controlled by the administrator's backup configuration. Authorized backup files can be deleted from Google Drive by the administrator when no longer required.

7. Revoking Access

The account owner can revoke Google Drive authorization at any time through Google Account settings under Third-party connections. Revoking access prevents further authorized Google Drive operations but does not automatically delete existing backup files.

8. Policy Updates

This policy may be updated when the backup integration, permissions, or data-handling practices change. Material changes to the use of Google user data will require appropriate notification and authorization.
