WPSeguro Remote Backups - Terms of Service

Last updated: August 27, 2025

Plain language summary: We don’t collect, store, or sell personal data. Backups are created on your WordPress site and uploaded directly to your Google Drive. Our optional OAuth broker (connect.wpseguro.pt) helps complete Google’s sign-in/refresh flow; it does not receive or store your backup files.

1) Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the WPSeguro Remote Backups plugin and any related websites, documentation, and helper services provided by WPSeguro.pt (collectively, the “Service”). By installing or using the plugin, you agree to these Terms.

Note: The plugin code is distributed under the GNU GPL (see the plugin header/license). These Terms cover service aspects (website, OAuth broker, notices, support) and do not limit your GPL rights in the software.

2) Definitions

  • “You”, “User” means the site owner/administrator who installs and uses the plugin.
  • “Backups” means ZIP files of your WordPress database and/or files created by the plugin.
  • “OAuth Broker” means the helper endpoint at connect.wpseguro.pt that facilitates Google OAuth sign-in/refresh on your behalf.
  • “External Services” means third-party services the plugin connects to (e.g., Google Drive API).

3) Services & Scope

The plugin creates on-demand backups of your site and uploads them to your Google Drive. The plugin may also list and restore backups from your Drive. The OAuth Broker may be used to simplify Google OAuth on shared hosting. We do not provide cloud storage, nor do we copy or store your backup files on our servers.

4) External Services & Data Flows

Google Drive API (Google LLC)

  • Purpose: Upload, list, and manage backup files in your Google Drive.
  • Data sent: Backup ZIP files and file metadata (name, size). During connection, the plugin may read your Drive email and storage quota to show connection/quota info.
  • When: On connect (OAuth 2.0) and during backup/restore operations you initiate.
  • Policies: Drive API Terms · Google APIs ToS · Google Privacy Policy

WPSeguro Connect OAuth Broker (connect.wpseguro.pt)

  • Purpose: Facilitate Google OAuth sign-in and token refresh; especially useful on shared hosting environments.
  • Data sent: Site URL and one-time state/code to start OAuth; refresh token when renewing access. No backup content is sent to the broker.
  • Notes: Tokens are stored in your WordPress database. The broker relays token exchanges; standard server logs (e.g., IP, user-agent) may be kept as described in our privacy notice.

5) Data & Privacy

  • No personal data collection by us: We do not collect, store, or sell personal data. Backup files are transferred directly from your site to your Google Drive.
  • Local storage: OAuth tokens and plugin settings are stored in your WordPress database on your server.
  • Logs: Minimal server logs may be retained for security/diagnostics (e.g., IP, user-agent) for a limited time.
  • Controller/Processor: You are the data controller for your site data and backups. We are not a processor of your backup contents.
  • Revocation: You can disconnect the plugin at any time and revoke access in your Google Account permissions.

6) Your Responsibilities

  • Verify your backups and test restores regularly.
  • Ensure you have sufficient Google Drive storage and comply with Google’s terms.
  • Secure your WordPress admin, hosting, and Google account (strong passwords, MFA, updates).
  • Comply with applicable laws and obtain any consents for backing up personal data from your site (if any).

7) Acceptable Use

  • No unlawful, infringing, or harmful use of the plugin or broker.
  • No attempts to bypass security, probe other systems, or overload services.
  • No reselling or misrepresenting the Service.

8) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures for the OAuth broker and website. However, no online service is 100% secure. You are responsible for the security of your server, WordPress installation, and Google account.

9) Support, Updates & Changes

We may update the plugin or broker from time to time, including bug fixes and improvements. Features may change or be discontinued. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will update the “Last updated” date above.

10) Warranty Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT BACKUPS OR RESTORES WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.

11) Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED EUR 50.

12) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless WPSeguro.pt from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

13) Termination

You may stop using the plugin at any time. We may suspend or terminate access to the broker or site if you violate these Terms or if required by law. Upon termination, your obligations that by their nature should survive (e.g., Sections 10-12) will survive.

14) Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Courts located in Portugal shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
