The never just deleted data without a plan for you to download it. Your photos aren't going anywhere. If by some chance Google goes out of business you'll have ample time to download them.

Unless you're saving your own shit on multiple disks and putting copies of shit in multiple places, Google photos is probably the safest spot on the planet for them.
