Android Backup Service provides a backup transport for Android's data backup framework, which allows you +to copy a user's persistent app data to remote "cloud" storage. Backing up persistent data +this way provides a restore point for the app on most devices running Android 2.2 or +higher. The backup service is not designed for synchronizing application data with other +clients or saving data that you'd like to access at random during the +application lifecycle.
+ +The Android Backup Service offered by Google provides a backup +transport on most devices that include Google Play Store and backs up your app data to Google +servers. The backup transport may differ +from device to device and which backup transport is available on any device is +transparent to your application.
+ +In order to use Android Backup Service, you must register your app with the service to receive a key that you must +include in your Android manifest.
+ +Note: Registering your application with Android Backup +Service does not guarantee that it will always back up data using this service +from Google. If you support +data backup in your application, then it will back up using whichever transport is enabled +on the device. Registering with Android Backup Service allows your application to back up +when the backup transport on the device is provided by Android Backup Service.
+ +For more information about how data backup works on Android and how to use it in your app, +read the Data Backup guide.
+ + + +Once you register your app, you'll receive a Backup Service Key, +which you must include in your Android manifest file with the following syntax:
+ ++<application> + <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.backup.api_key" + android:value="your_backup_service_key" /> + ... +</application> ++ +
Insert your Backup Service Key in the android:value attribute and place the
+<meta-data> element inside your Android manifest's
+<application> element.
When a device that uses Android Backup Service runs your application, +the system verifies that your Backup Service Key is valid and Android Backup Service saves the +user's data to Google servers using the primary Google account on the device.
+ +If your application
+does not provide a valid Backup Service Key, then backup will not occur. If the device does not
+provide backup using Android Backup Service, then the <meta-data> element and
+Backup Service Key are ignored—your application will work normally, but will either back up
+data using a different backup transport or not perform backup at all. Either
+way, your application is unaware of what transport is used, if at all, and otherwise
+operates normally.
For more information about how to provide data backup in your Android application, see the Data Backup guide.
+ + +At Google, we are keenly aware of the trust users place in us and our responsibility to protect +users' privacy. Google securely transmits backup data to and from Google servers in order to provide +backup and restore features. Google treats this data as personal information in accordance with +Google's Privacy Policy.
+ +In addition, users can disable data backup functionality through the Android +system's privacy settings. When a user disables backup, Android Backup Service deletes all saved +backup data. A user can re-enable backup on the device, but Android Backup Service will not restore +any previously deleted data.

Registering your app provides you a Backup +Service Key that verifies your application and allows backup when +Android Backup Service is available on the user's device. Registration with Android Backup Service +is free.
+ +A single Backup Service Key is valid for only the application with which you register using the +form below. If you have multiple applications for which you would like a Backup Service Key, then +you must register each application to receive a unique Backup Service Key for each one.
+ +For more information about developing with Android Backup Service, read the Data Backup guide.
+ +Before you can register with Android Backup Service, +you must agree to the following terms of service.
+ + + + +1.1 +Your use of the Android Backup Service (referred to as the "Service" +in this document) is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and +Google. "Google" means Google Inc., whose principal place of business +is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. This +document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms +of that agreement.
+ +1.2 +Unless otherwise agreed in writing with Google, your agreement with Google will +always include, at a minimum, the terms and conditions set out in this +document. These are referred to below as the "Terms".
+ +1.3 The +Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and Google in relation to +your use of the Service. It is important that you take the time to read them +carefully.
+ + + + + +2.1 In +order to use the Service, you must first agree to the Terms. You may not use +the Service if you do not accept the Terms.
+ +2.2 You +can accept the Terms by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms, where +this option is made available to you by Google.
+ +2.3 You +may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms if you are not of legal +age to form a binding contract with Google.
+ +2.4 +You represent that you have full power, +capacity and authority to accept these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of your employer or +another entity, you represent that you have full legal authority to bind your employer +or such entity to these Terms. If +you don't have the legal authority to bind, please ensure that an authorized +person from your entity consents to and accepts these Terms.
+ + + + + +3.1 +Google has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the world ("Subsidiaries +and Affiliates"). Sometimes, +these companies will be providing the Service to you on behalf of Google +itself. You acknowledge and agree that Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be +entitled to provide the Service to you.
+ +3.2 +Google is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible +experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of +the Service which Google provides may change from time to time without prior +notice to you.
+ +3.3 As +part of this continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that Google may +stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Service (or any features within +the Service) to you or to users generally at Google's sole discretion, without +prior notice to you. You may stop using the Service at any time. You do not +need to specifically inform Google when you stop using the Service.
+ +3.4 You +acknowledge and agree that if Google disables your Backup Service Key, you and the Android +application(s) you developed ("Application(s)") may be prevented from accessing +the Service and any content that is stored with the Service.
+ +3.5 You +acknowledge and agree that Google may set a fixed upper limit on the number of +backup transmissions you may send or receive through the Service or on the +amount of storage space used for the provision of the Service at any time, at +Google's discretion. You agree to +abide by any such fixed upper limits.
+ + + + + +4.1 In +order to access the Service, you must have a unique application identifier +("Package Name") for your Application as described in the documentation for the +Service.
+ +4.2 +After supplying Google with the Package Name and accepting the Terms, you will +be issued an alphanumeric key ("Backup Service Key") assigned to you by Google that is +uniquely associated with your Application. Your Application must include this Backup Service Key as +described in the documentation for the Service.
+ +4.3 +There is currently no limit to the number of Backup Service Keys you may obtain in this +manner provided that you use a different Package Name for each Backup Service Key you +obtain. You agree that each Backup Service Key is only valid for Applications with the corresponding +Package Name. You agree that Google may, in its sole +discretion, impose a limit on the number of Backup Service Keys that may be obtained in +the future. You agree that your +continued use of any of the Backup Service Keys assigned by Google, or distribution of any +Applications using such Backup Service Keys, constitutes your continued agreement to these +Terms.
+ +4.4 You +agree to use the Service only for purposes that are permitted by (a) the Terms +and (b) any applicable law, regulation, third-party terms of service, or +generally accepted practices or guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions +(including any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the +United States or other relevant countries).
+ +4.5 You +agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Service by any means +other than through the interfaces, methods, and APIs that are provided by +Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate +agreement with Google.
+ +4.6 You +agree that you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts +the Service (or the servers and networks which are connected to the Service), +or the servers or networks of any third-party.
+ +4.7 You +agree that your use of the Service will be in compliance with any documentation +guidelines provided by Google and that failure to comply with the documentation +guidelines may result in the disabling of the Backup Service Key(s) for your +Application(s).
+ +4.8 +Unless you have been specifically permitted to do so in a separate agreement +with Google, you agree that you will not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, +trade or resell (a) use of the Service, or (b) access to the Service.
+ +4.9 You +agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no +responsibility to you or to any third party for) your and your Application's +use of the Service, any breach of your obligations under the Terms, and for the +consequences (including any loss or damage which Google may suffer) of any such +breach.
+ +4.10 You agree that in your use of the Service, you and +your Applications will protect the privacy and legal rights of users. You must +provide legally adequate privacy notice and protection for users whose data +your Applications back up to the Service. Further, your Application may only +use that information for the limited purpose of backing up the data to the +Service unless the user has given you permission for further use. If the user has not given you +permission to back up information to the Service, you may not transmit such +information to the Service.
+ +4.11 You agree +that you and your Applications will not transmit or store sensitive user +information, such as user names, passwords, or credit card numbers, through the +Service.

You agree that you are solely +responsible for (A) any Content that is transmitted through the Service by your +Applications, and (B) any Content that Devices retrieve from the Service by +virtue of your Applications. For +purposes of the Terms, "Content" means information such as data, messages, +settings information, written text, computer software, music, audio files or +other sounds, photographs, videos or other images. "Device(s)" means device(s) powered by +the Android operating system.
+ +7.2 You +agree that you will not transmit any Content through the Service that is +copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third party +proprietary rights, including patent, privacy and publicity rights, unless you +are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to +transmit the Content through the Service.
+ + + + + +8.1 You +acknowledge and agree that Google (or Google's licensors) own all legal right, +title and interest in and to the Service, including any intellectual property +rights which subsist in the Service (whether those rights happen to be +registered or not, and wherever in the world those rights may exist).
+ +8.2 +Unless you have agreed otherwise in writing with Google, nothing in the Terms +gives you a right to use any of Google's trade names, trademarks, service +marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features.
+ +8.3 If +you have been given an explicit right to use any of these brand features in a +separate written agreement with Google, then you agree that your use of such +features shall be in compliance with that agreement, any applicable provisions +of the Terms, and Google's brand feature use guidelines as updated from time to +time.

+ + + + + +9.1 +Subject to terms and conditions of these Terms, Google gives you a personal, +worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the +Service as provided to you by Google. This license is for the sole purpose of +enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Service as provided by Google, +in the manner permitted by the Terms.
+ +9.2 You +may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) copy, modify, create a +derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract +the source code from the Service or any part thereof, unless this is expressly +permitted or required by law, or unless you have been specifically told that +you may do so by Google, in writing.

+ +(D) your Application fails to meet the documentation +guidelines provided by Google.
+ +11.4 +Nothing in this Section shall affect Google's rights regarding provision of the +Service under Section 3 of the Terms.
+ +11.5 +When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and +liabilities that you and Google have benefited from, been subject to (or which +have accrued over time whilst the Terms have been in force) or which are +expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and +the provisions of Sections 12, 13 and Paragraph 16 shall continue to apply to +such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.
+ + + + + +12.1 +NOTHING IN THESE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTIONS 12 AND 13, SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT +GOOGLE'S WARRANTY OR LIABILITY FOR LOSSES WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR +LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF +CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY +FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF +IMPLIED TERMS, OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, ONLY THE +LIMITATIONS WHICH ARE LAWFUL IN YOUR JURISDICTION WILL APPLY TO YOU AND OUR +LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
+ +12.2 +YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE +RISK AND THAT THE SERVICE AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND +"AS AVAILABLE".

+ +13.2 +THE LIMITATIONS ON GOOGLE'S LIABILITY TO YOU IN PARAGRAPH 13.1 ABOVE SHALL +APPLY WHETHER OR NOT GOOGLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF +THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES ARISING.
+ + + + + +14.1 You agree to hold +harmless and indemnify Google, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, +agents, employees, or licensors from and against any third party claim arising +from or in any way related to (a) your breach of the Terms, (b) your use of the +Service, or (c) your violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations in +connection with the Service, including any liability or expense arising from +all claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, +litigation costs and attorneys' fees, of every kind and nature. In such a case, +Google will provide you with written notice of such claim, suit or action.
+ + + + + +15.1 +Due to things like changes to the law or changes to +functionality offered through the Service, Google may need to change these Terms from time to +time. You should look at the Terms regularly. We'll post +notice of the modified Terms within, or through, the Service. Once the modified Terms are posted, +the changes will become effective immediately, and you are deemed to have accepted the modified +Terms if you continue to use the Service. If you do not agree to the modified +Terms for the Service, please stop using the Service.
+ + + + + +16.1 +The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and Google and +govern your use of the Service (but excluding any service which Google may +provide to you under a separate written agreement), and completely replace any +prior agreements between you and Google in relation to the Service.
+ +16.2 +You agree that Google may provide you with notices, including those regarding +changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Service.

+ +16.4 If +any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that +any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed +from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining +provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
+ +16.5 +You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which +Google is the parent shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms and that +such other companies shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any +provision of the Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. +Other than this, no other person or company shall be third party beneficiaries +to the Terms.
+ +16.6 +The Terms, and your relationship with Google under the Terms, shall be governed +by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws +provisions. You and Google agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the +courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California to resolve any +legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that +Google shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an +equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
