Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-04

Overview

dango is designed to keep your anime tracking data local by default. This policy explains what data the app accesses, where it is stored, and how sync works when Google Drive is enabled.

Data stored locally

When you run dango, the following data is stored on the machine running the app:

• Watchlist and watched episode history
• Queue entries and show metadata
• Settings and dismissed notifications
• Database files used for app functionality

Google Drive sync

If you enable Google Drive sync, dango requests the following Google OAuth scopes:

• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata — used to read and write a hidden appdata folder for sync files
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file — used to manage the sync file itself
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email — used to identify the signed-in Google account

These files are stored in your Google Drive appdata folder, not in a publicly shared location. The sync files contain metadata needed to keep your watchlist and database state consistent across devices. They do not contain streaming URLs or credentials for third-party providers.

Third-party providers

dango may fetch anime metadata, thumbnails, or streaming sources from third-party providers. Those providers may collect their own data. dango does not control third-party privacy practices.

Data retention and deletion

You can stop sync at any time from Settings. Removing sync access from your Google account settings also revokes access. Local data remains on your machine until you uninstall the app or delete its data folder manually.
