HammyBackup

Privacy Policy

Your library stays between you and your chosen storage.

Effective August 18, 2026

1. Scope

This policy explains how the HammyBackup iOS app and this website handle information. HammyBackup is designed to transfer photos and videos from your iPhone directly to a backup destination you control or select.

2. Information the app accesses

  • Photos and videos: media you authorize through Apple Photos, plus metadata needed to plan, name, upload, verify, and display backup status.
  • NAS/SMB settings: server address, share, folder, username, and password you provide.
  • Google Drive information: your Google account email, OAuth authorization, and identifiers for folders and files created or accessed by HammyBackup.
  • On-device records: destination settings, backup progress, verification records, and cleanup selections.

3. How information is used

Information is used only to connect to your selected destination, copy media, resume interrupted work, verify backup results, show status, and perform cleanup actions that you approve.

4. Backup destinations

NAS/SMB: Media and credentials are used to communicate directly with the server you configure, normally over your local network.

Google Drive: HammyBackup requests the non-sensitive drive.file scope. This limits access to files the app creates or that you explicitly make available to it. HammyBackup does not request access to all files in your Drive.

Our handling of information obtained through Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

5. Storage and security

  • HammyBackup does not operate a developer-owned cloud service for your photo library.
  • Your media is sent only to the NAS/SMB server or Google Drive account you choose.
  • Non-secret settings and backup records are stored on your device.
  • SMB passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain.
  • Google authorization tokens are managed by Google Sign-In and protected using iOS security facilities.

6. Sharing, advertising, and analytics

We do not sell personal information. The app contains no advertising or third-party analytics SDK. Information is disclosed to Google only when you choose Google Drive, to your configured NAS/SMB service when you choose it, or when required by law.

This website is static and uses no analytics, advertising trackers, cookies, forms, or server-side account system. It stores only your language preference in your browser.

7. Retention and deletion

Local settings and records remain on your device until you sign out, clear a destination, or remove the app, subject to normal iOS Keychain behavior. Backup files remain on your selected destination until you delete them there. Signing out of Google does not automatically delete Drive files or revoke prior authorization; you can revoke access from your Google Account security settings.

8. Your choices

You control Photos permission, local-network permission, the destination used, whether cellular backup is allowed, which items are selected, and every cleanup action. You can stop using Google Drive or NAS/SMB at any time.

9. Children

HammyBackup is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through a developer-operated service.

10. Changes and contact

We may update this policy when the app changes or legal requirements evolve. The effective date above will be updated. Questions can be sent to support@hammybackup.fingull.com.
