Privacy Policy
Last updated 23 August 2026
reviewdawg does not collect your data. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party SDK of any kind — the app has no third-party dependencies at all. This page explains what that means in practice.
What reviewdawg stores, and where
Your GitHub credential — the token issued by GitHub's device flow, or the personal access token you supplied — is stored in your Mac's login Keychain under the servicecom.reviewdawg.github. Signing out deletes it. It is never transmitted anywhere except as an Authorization header to GitHub.
Your preferences, your saved filters, and which files you have marked viewed are stored locally on your Mac. Pull request contents are cached in memory while the app is running and are discarded when it quits or when you switch accounts.
What reviewdawg transmits, and to whom
| Host | Why |
|---|---|
api.github.com | Reading pull requests, diffs, review threads and check runs; posting your comments and reviews. Authenticated with your credential. |
github.com | Signing in through GitHub's device flow. |
apps.apple.com | Validating your reviewdawg Pro subscription through Apple's StoreKit. |
No other host is contacted, ever.
What is not collected
- No usage analytics, event tracking, or session recording.
- No crash or diagnostic reporting.
- No advertising identifiers, and no advertising of any kind.
- No contact information, location, or device identifiers.
- No copy of your source code, diffs, review comments, or repository names is sent anywhere other than to GitHub itself, which already holds them.
reviewdawg's App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected, and this is why.
Subscriptions
reviewdawg Pro is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase. Payment, billing details and subscription status are handled entirely by Apple; Jake Ojero never receives your payment information. The app asks StoreKit whether an entitlement is active and learns nothing else about your Apple Account.
Apple's own handling of that transaction is governed byApple's Privacy Policy.
Your data on GitHub
reviewdawg acts on your behalf against GitHub's API. What GitHub does with the resulting requests is governed byGitHub's Privacy Statement. You can revoke reviewdawg's access at any time fromSettings → Applications on GitHub, or by deleting the personal access token you issued.
Children
reviewdawg is a developer tool and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
