This Privacy Policy explains what data Cloudify accesses, how it is used, and how it is stored when you use the Cloudify Minecraft mod ("Cloudify", "the mod", "we", "us").
What Cloudify accesses
Cloudify requests access to Google Drive on your behalf in order to back up your Minecraft world files. Specifically, it may:
- Create and manage a dedicated folder structure in your Google Drive to store backups
- Upload new and modified world save files to that folder structure
- Read basic file metadata (name, modified time, size) to determine what needs to be uploaded
What Cloudify does not do
- Cloudify does not access files or folders in your Google Drive outside of the folders it creates for backups
- Cloudify does not share, sell, or transmit your Google Drive data to any third party
- Cloudify does not collect analytics, advertising identifiers, or personal profiles
Where your data is stored
Your world backups are uploaded directly from your computer to your own Google Drive account using Google's APIs. Cloudify does not operate a separate server that stores copies of your files — your data remains under your Google account and subject to Google's own privacy practices.
Local data
Cloudify stores minimal configuration locally on your machine, such as which files or folders to exclude from backup and basic instance metadata (for example, an identifier for the Minecraft instance being backed up) used to keep backups organized. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted anywhere except as needed to organize your own Drive folder structure.
Authentication
Cloudify uses Google's OAuth sign-in flow to obtain permission to access your Google Drive. Your Google account credentials are never seen or stored by Cloudify — authentication is handled entirely by Google.
Your control over your data
You can revoke Cloudify's access to your Google Drive at any time from your Google Account permissions page. You can also delete the backup folders created by Cloudify directly from your Google Drive at any time.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
