PhotoVaultTerms of Service
Effective 9 November 2026
These terms apply to your use of the PhotoVault app and this website. By using PhotoVault you agree to them.
The service
PhotoVault is a free macOS app that copies your Photos library to storage you choose, such as your own Google Drive or local and network folders. It runs on your Mac; there is no PhotoVault account or server.
Your responsibilities
- You use PhotoVault only with photos and accounts you are entitled to use.
- You are responsible for your Google account, your Drive storage plan and any limits Google sets, and for the disks and network folders you choose as destinations.
- Your use of Google Drive through PhotoVault is also subject to Google's own terms.
Your content
Your photos and backups remain yours. PhotoVault does not claim any rights to them, and the developer does not receive them. How the app handles your data is described in the Privacy Policy.
No warranty
PhotoVault is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. It is designed never to change your Photos library or delete backups, but no backup tool can guarantee that every file is copied. Keep more than one backup of anything you cannot afford to lose, and check your backups from time to time.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, the developer is not liable for any loss of data, storage costs or other damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, PhotoVault.
Changes and ending use
These terms may be updated; the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. You can stop using PhotoVault at any time by signing out, revoking its access in your Google account and uninstalling it.
