Privacy policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

Pennywise is a personal tool used only by its owner. This policy explains what it does with Google account data.

What it accesses

It uses the Google Drive drive.file permission, which only lets it see and manage the files it created itself. It cannot see any other files in the Drive.

What it does

It uploads encrypted backup files to a folder in the owner's own Google Drive, and deletes backups it created once they are more than about 13 months old. The files are encrypted before upload, so their contents can't be read without the owner's passphrase.

What it doesn't do

It collects no personal data, has no server of its own, uses no analytics or advertising, and shares nothing with anyone. The sign-in token is stored only on the owner's computer.

Removing access

Access can be removed at any time from the Google Account's third-party access settings.
