Google Drive Backup (Optional)
MyHutang provides an optional Google Drive backup feature for data protection.
This feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the app stores encrypted backups in your Google Drive appDataFolder, a hidden folder accessible only by this application.
Backup Contents:
- •Encrypted backup files containing debt records, contacts, payments, and app settings
Backup Security:
- •All data is compressed and encrypted with AES-256-GCM before upload
- •Backups are stored in your Google Drive appDataFolder (hidden folder)
- •Only this application can access the appDataFolder
- •Backup files are not visible in your Google Drive interface
Data Usage:
- •Data is used only to provide backup and restore functionality
- •Backup data is not shared, sold, or transferred to third parties
- •The app accesses only the appDataFolder, not other Google Drive files
User Control:
- •You can switch Google accounts or sign out at any time
- •You can choose between Google Drive or local storage for backups
- •You can create, restore, or delete backups manually
Data Deletion:
Backup data in Google Drive appDataFolder persists even after uninstalling the app, allowing you to restore your data on a new device. You can delete backups manually from within the app settings, or revoke app access through your Google Account settings to remove all backup data.
Google OAuth Scopes:
When you enable Google Drive backup, the app requests the following permissions:
- •
openid—Required for Google Sign-In authentication - •
.../auth/userinfo.email—To see your primary Google Account email address - •
.../auth/userinfo.profile—To see your personal info (name) for display in the app - •
drive.appdata—To store and retrieve backup files in a hidden app-specific folder. No access to other Drive files.
This app complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Data obtained from Google APIs is used only for backup and restore functionality visible in the app interface.

Data Deletion Instructions
MyHutang is designed with privacy in mind. You have full control over your data and can delete it at any time using the following steps.

- •Cloud Backups (Google Drive): If you have enabled Google Drive backup, you can delete your backup data by going to Settings > Data > Backup Data > Backup History > Tap the Delete (trash can) icon on your backup > Confirm deletion. You can also revoke the app's access through your Google Account Security settings.
- •Manual Request: If you need assistance or want to ensure all data associated with your Google ID is removed from the app's hidden backup folder, you can email us at asyrafhussin4@gmail.com.
