Privacy

• Your GitHub user id, login, avatar URL, and email (from GitHub OAuth).
• A GitHub access token, used only to read and write the backlog files you connect.
• A pointer to each connected repo: owner, name, file path, default branch, write mode.
• Organizational metadata you add inside the app (status, priority, pin, tags, snooze date), stored alongside the item key, never inside your file.
• Operational logs (timestamps, error messages) needed to keep the service running.

• The contents of your BACKLOG.md. We read it on demand and write it back when you save.
• Other files in your repository. We never clone your repo.
• Your GitHub password. Sign-in is OAuth; we never see it.

We use the data above to operate the product: list your connected repos, fetch and save your backlog, and remember the organization you've added. We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with third parties for advertising.

You can remove a repo from the dashboard at any time. To revoke our access entirely, visit GitHub → Settings → Applications and remove Backlog Viewer. If you'd like your account and stored metadata deleted, email hello@backlogviewer.com and we'll handle it.
