Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 18, 2026
Backup & Restore Messages (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a utility application designed to help users manage local WhatsApp backups stored on their own device.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how the App operates. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles data, the permissions it may request, and how it is designed to comply with applicable privacy requirements and Google Play policies.
1. Overview
Backup & Restore Messages works primarily offline and does not collect, store, process, upload, or share personal data with us or any third parties.
All supported backup management operations are performed locally on your device.
The App is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by WhatsApp, Meta, or any of their subsidiaries or partners.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 No Personal Information Collected
We do not collect personal data such as:
* Names
* Phone numbers
* Contacts
* Chat content
* Media files
* Device identifiers
* Location information
* Analytics data
* Advertising information
The App does not require users to create an account.
2.2 Information Processed Locally
Depending on the features you use, the App may temporarily access and process files stored on your device, including:
* WhatsApp local backup files
* WhatsApp media, including images, videos, audio, and documents
* WhatsApp chat databases
* WhatsApp-related folders and files
This information is processed locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or third parties.
3. How the App Uses Your Data
The App accesses files only when required to perform an action initiated by you, such as:
* Creating local backups
* Restoring selected chat or media backups
* Organizing WhatsApp-related folders
* Copying or moving files you select
* Exporting and saving backup files
We do not intentionally access or modify your files for purposes unrelated to the features you use.
4. Permissions We Request
Depending on your device and the features you use, the App may request access to files or storage.
Storage / File Access
File access may be used for:
* Reading WhatsApp backup directories
* Creating backup files
* Restoring selected files
* Exporting or copying files selected by you
* Displaying folder contents
This access is used only to provide the App's backup management functionality.
Manage All Files Access
On Android 11 and later, the App may request Manage All Files Access when required to access WhatsApp backup folders that are located outside standard media directories.
This permission is used only for the App's core file-management functionality and is not used for unrelated purposes.
5. Data Storage and Security
Backup files and other files accessed by the App remain on your device.
We do not:
* Store your files on external servers
* Upload your backup data to the cloud
* Maintain external databases containing your data
* Monitor your activity
* Track your usage
Because the App does not transmit personal or backup data to our servers, your backup information remains under your control.
6. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information or backup files with third parties.
The App does not intentionally include:
* Analytics services
* Advertising SDKs
* Tracking SDKs
* External cloud storage services
* Third-party databases
7. Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.
Because the App does not collect personal information, there is no personal information maintained by us for children.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
We do not collect or retain your personal data or backup files on our servers.
Files created or managed by the App remain on your device and can be deleted by you using the appropriate file-management functionality on your device.
Uninstalling the App may remove app-specific data stored by Android, such as application settings and temporary cache files. Files stored outside the App's private storage may remain on your device and can be deleted separately.
9. Internet and Network Usage
The App's core backup and restore functionality does not require an internet connection.
The App does not intentionally transmit backup files or personal information over the network.
If optional support or communication features are provided, any communication initiated through those features may involve network access as necessary to provide the requested service.
10. Disclaimer of Affiliation
Backup & Restore Messages is an independent utility application.
The App is:
* Not affiliated with WhatsApp
* Not affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc.
* Not endorsed by WhatsApp or Meta
* Not sponsored by WhatsApp or Meta
* Not authorized by WhatsApp or Meta
“WhatsApp” and related trademarks are trademarks of their respective owners.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When changes are made, we may:
* Update the “Last Updated” date
* Publish the updated Privacy Policy on the applicable app store listing
