DG Android (unofficial DailyGammon client)
Last updated: 27 September 2026

This app is a third-party client for dailygammon.com. It is not affiliated with DailyGammon or its operators.

What the app stores on your device

• Your DailyGammon username and password, so you do not have to type them every time. They are encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore and are never written to logs. They are sent only to dailygammon.com, over the site's own sign-in form, and nowhere else.
• The messages you receive and send on DailyGammon, in a database on your device. DailyGammon does not keep messages on its server, so this local archive is the only copy. Keeping it is the reason this app exists.
• Your own settings for the app, such as board appearance and which optional helps you have switched on.
• Notes you write for yourself in the app, such as reminders and marked positions, and the app's own bookkeeping: which matches it has already shown you and when its connection to the site dropped. All of it stays on the device.

Where your data goes

• To dailygammon.com, and nowhere else. The app has no server of its own, and it sends nothing to the developer.
• Unencrypted. dailygammon.com does not offer HTTPS, so everything the app exchanges with the site travels in the clear: your sign-in, your moves and your messages, both sent and received. This is the same as using DailyGammon in a browser; the app cannot add encryption the site does not provide. Anyone able to watch the network you are on can read that traffic.
• If you have Android's backup switched on for this app, your message archive may be copied to your own Google account by the operating system. That is a copy you control through your Google account, not something the app uploads. Your DailyGammon username and password are deliberately excluded from that backup.
• If you use the app's Export or Back up features, the app writes a file to the location you choose. Where that file then goes is up to you.

What the app does not do

• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no third-party components that could do any of those.
• No background fetching. The app contacts DailyGammon only while you are using it and only when you ask it to load something.
• No account of any kind with the developer. There is nothing to sign up for.

Permissions

The app asks for internet access, for the ability to see whether the device is online and for the use of the device's fingerprint or PIN check. The last is used only if you turn on the lock in Settings. Android does the check, and the app learns only whether it passed. Nothing else.

Children

The app is not directed at children and collects nothing about anyone.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app removes the archive, your settings and your stored credentials from the device. Files you exported yourself, and any backup held in your Google account, are removed the way you normally remove those.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
