Privacy Policy
GPanel Backup ยท Effective 13 November 2026
This policy explains what the GPanel Backup application ("the app"), published at gpanel.giap.dev, does with information from your Google account. The app is part of GPanel, a hosting control panel that runs on a server you own or rent ("your server").
What the app accesses
The app requests a single Google permission, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file. With it, the app can see, create, download and delete only the files and folders that the app itself created on your Google Drive. It has no access to any other content of your Google Drive or Google account.
The app also reads the email address of the Google account you connect, solely to show in GPanel which account a backup destination belongs to.
How the information is used
- To create a folder on your Google Drive and upload backup archives of the hosting accounts on your server into it.
- To list those archives, download one when you ask GPanel to restore it, and delete old archives according to the retention you set.
Google user data is used for nothing else. It is not used for advertising, is not sold, and is not used to train any model.
Where the information is stored
The Google sign-in token and the account's email address are stored on your server, in GPanel's database, encrypted with a key that exists only on your server. Backup archives are stored on your Google Drive. The publisher of GPanel operates no server that receives, stores or processes your Google data: all communication is directly between your server and Google.
Sharing
Google user data is not shared with or transferred to anyone. Whoever administers your server can access what is stored on it; choosing and trusting that administrator is your decision.
Limited Use
The app's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Retention and deletion
The sign-in token is kept until you delete the Google Drive destination in GPanel, which removes it from your server. You can also revoke the app's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Backup archives stay on your Google Drive until you, or the retention you configured, delete them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new effective date.
