Privacy Policy

Chockful Budget Backups is a personal-use backup utility operated for the owner of the Chockful Budget financial application. This policy explains how the utility uses Google Drive and handles backup data.

Information the utility accesses

When the owner explicitly authorizes the Google connection, the utility receives an OAuth authorization with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file scope. This permits the app to manage Drive files it creates and specific files or folders the owner selects through Google Picker. It may process file names, identifiers, permissions, upload/download status and checksums to verify backups. The utility does not request Gmail, contacts or full-Drive access.

How information is used

The utility uses the authorized Google Drive access solely to upload and verify the owner's Chockful Budget backup archives, and to recover or manage those app-authorized files when directed by the owner. It does not use Google user data for advertising, profiling, sale, or training AI models.

Financial data and storage

When the separate Windows backup job is activated, it retrieves the owner's financial records from the owner's Cloudflare database, checks the export and restores it for validation in process memory, and encrypts the archive using an owner-controlled public key before saving it to a local drive and uploading it to a private, owner-selected Google Drive folder. Private recovery material is not uploaded to Drive or made available through this website.

The utility does not intentionally save unencrypted SQL backup files. Windows may nevertheless retain some process information in pagefiles, crash dumps or other operating-system memory storage. Google Drive stores the encrypted archive and associated operational metadata. The operator's Windows Credential Manager holds locally saved authorization credentials for unattended operation.

Sharing and disclosure

No backup files are published by this website or intentionally shared with other people. Google processes data to provide the Drive service; Cloudflare provides the database and hosting infrastructure. The operator does not sell Google user data or share it with advertisers.

Retention and deletion

There is currently no automatic deletion schedule for saved backup archives. The owner can delete app-created files in Google Drive and local backups at their discretion. Authorization can be revoked through the Google Account third-party connections settings. After revocation, the owner can also remove locally saved credentials; scheduled uploads will stop working until access is reauthorized.

Public website data

This information-only website has no login, forms, tracking cookies or configured visitor analytics. Cloudflare may process routine connection information to deliver and secure the website.
