Empo Plus is a paid membership that supports the work on Empo. It also adds extra features.

Empo stays free to play. You do not need Empo Plus to import games, play them, or keep your saves.

## What you get

Empo Plus adds more places to back up your saves:

| Place          | Without Empo Plus | With Empo Plus |
| -------------- | ----------------- | -------------- |
| iCloud Drive   | Yes               | Yes            |
| Dropbox        | No                | Yes            |
| Google Drive   | No                | Yes            |
| S3 storage     | No                | Yes            |
| WebDAV server  | No                | Yes            |

To add a place, open **Settings → Backups** and tap **Add a location**. [Backups](/backups) tells you more.

Later versions of Empo will add more features to Empo Plus.

## Join

1. Join Empo on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/empo_app) with a paid membership.
2. In Empo, open **Settings → Empo Plus**.
3. Tap **Already a member? Sign in**, and sign in with your Patreon account.

If Empo says that your account is not a member yet, wait until Patreon shows your membership.
Then tap **Check again**.

## When your membership ends

Backups to iCloud Drive continue. Backups to Dropbox, Google Drive, S3 storage, and WebDAV
servers stop. Your backups stay where they are, and you can still restore your saves from them.

## Sign out

Open **Settings → Empo Plus** and tap **Sign out of Patreon**. Empo deletes your sign-in from the
device and from its server.

## Privacy

Empo's server reads only your Patreon user ID and whether you have a paid membership. It does not
read your name, your email address, or your payment details. The
[privacy policy](/privacy) gives the full details.
