What stays on your phone

Your backlog, the pace you pick, your finish dates and whether you've unlocked Whole Backlog are saved on your phone and never leave it. There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking.

What leaves it

When you search for a game, the words you type are sent to gametales.app, which we run, to find the game and its playing times. The request carries no name, account or ID. Like any web server, it keeps ordinary request logs for a short time, and they aren't used to identify anyone.

Game covers load from IGDB's image server (images.igdb.com), the source of the covers and playing times.

Purchases

If you buy Whole Backlog, Apple handles the payment. We get no card details, name or email, only that the unlock was bought, so the app can open it on your devices.

Children

Nothing in the app asks for or keeps personal information from anyone, including children.
