What VideoArchiver can access in your Ring account

What it reads

Clips stream straight from Ring to your own storage (Google Drive, Dropbox or S3-compatible storage). We never store your recordings.

• Motion and doorbell-press notifications to trigger archiving
• Other Ring notices (a camera added or removed, going online or offline, your VideoArchiver plan starting or ending, VideoArchiver being removed), to keep your cameras and plan up to date
• Clip access to transfer recordings to your storage
• Camera names, IDs, type and online status, to label clips and tell cameras from other devices
• Motion and doorbell history for each camera, checked hourly to catch any notification that never arrived
• Your Ring account ID, to match notifications and cameras to your account
• Your Ring account email, to show which Ring account you are linking and to reach you if Ring access stops
• Your VideoArchiver subscription status in Ring, to know which devices are on Pro
• Which Ring location each camera belongs to (an opaque Ring ID, used only to see which cameras your subscription covers and never stored)

Camera names, IDs and your Ring account email are kept until you delete your account. What we keep, and for how long, is in the Privacy Policy.

What it never keeps or reads

• Your Ring password. You sign in to Ring on Ring’s own page, and your password never reaches us.
• Your recordings. Clips pass through to your own storage; we keep no copy.
• Anything outside the list above. Sensors, alarms and other devices are read only to tell them from cameras, and are then ignored.

Removing access

You can end this access any time in the Ring app: open the menu, then Apps, then My Apps, select VideoArchiver, then select Remove app. If you have VideoArchiver Pro, cancel it first; Ring asks for that. To stop archiving without removing the app, pause its device access there instead. Ring describes the steps in its help page for Appstore apps (opens in a new tab).

When you remove the app, we erase your stored Ring tokens and archiving stops. Clips already in your storage stay there. What we store, and for how long, is in the Privacy Policy.
