Effective November 13, 2026
Kanou is a private, owner-only backup tool. It is used only by its owner, to back up the owner's own files to the owner's own Google Drive.
Kanou uses the Google Drive API with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file scope only. With this scope it can access only the files and folders that Kanou itself creates in the owner's Google Drive. It cannot see any of the owner's other Drive files.
Kanou does not collect, store, sell, or share data from any other user. Backed-up files go only to the owner's own Google Drive account and nowhere else. No third parties receive any data.
Backups stay in the owner's Drive until the owner deletes them. The owner can revoke Kanou's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
