Privacy policy

1. Who this policy covers

QOOPS Backup is an internal business utility for administrators authorized by QOOPS. It is not offered as a customer account service. This policy covers the Google Drive authorization and backup-handling functionality used by administrators.

2. Google data accessed

When an administrator connects Google Drive, the utility requests the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file OAuth scope. It uses this access to create and manage its own encrypted backup files and folders, verify transfers, and retrieve a selected backup for recovery. It does not request full access to unrelated Drive files.

3. How Google data is used

Google Drive access is used exclusively for the administrator-authorized backup and restore workflow. The utility does not sell Google user data, use it for advertising, or use it to develop unrelated profiles. Google hosts the files under the connected account subject to Google's terms.

4. Information stored

The utility may store OAuth authorization tokens and connection metadata in a restricted server configuration so scheduled backups can operate. Encrypted backup files may contain QOOPS business transactions, staff information, or customer information from the operational database. Backups are encrypted before uploading to Drive; the decryption key is stored separately and is not uploaded as part of this process.

5. Sharing, retention, and deletion

The utility does not intentionally disclose Google account data to advertisers. Access is limited to authorized administrators and necessary service providers, including Google Drive as the storage provider. Backup retention and deletion are administered by QOOPS; a fixed automated retention schedule must be configured before routine production use. Administrators can delete the utility's backup files from Drive and revoke OAuth access through their Google Account permissions.

6. Security

QOOPS Backup uses encrypted backup archives, restricted server credentials, and a separately stored recovery key. No security control eliminates all risk. The public pages on this site do not expose backup contents or authentication tokens.

7. Privacy requests and changes

For privacy questions or requests concerning this internal utility, contact the support email identified on the QOOPS Backup Google authorization consent screen. This policy will be updated when service providers, retention settings, or data-handling practices change.
