FortiGate Log Archive
Privacy policy
Effective November 13, 2026. This utility is operated by the Google account owner for personal firewall-log archival.
Data and purpose
The utility processes firewall logs, which may include IP addresses, account names, connection information, and security events. It uploads compressed archives to the owner's Google Drive to support security review and troubleshooting.
Google Drive permissions
The utility requests the drive.file permission. This permits access to files and folders created or explicitly opened with the application. It does not request access to unrelated existing Drive files. It uses file contents and metadata only to upload, verify, organize, and expire its archives.
Storage and retention
Logs are temporarily buffered in server memory. Completed archives are stored in a dedicated Google Drive folder and deleted after 30 days by a daily retention job when the utility and Drive connection are available. Pending memory-buffered logs may be lost on restart or after an extended outage. Authentication settings are stored in a protected configuration folder on the owner's server.
Sharing and use
Archives are not published by this utility. Google processes uploaded data as the storage provider under its applicable terms and privacy policy. The utility does not sell data, use it for advertising, or use it to train artificial-intelligence models. Its use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Control and deletion
The owner can revoke the application's access in Google Account settings, stop the utility, or delete its archives directly in Google Drive. Revoking access or stopping the utility also stops automatic uploads and retention cleanup.
