ObGitSync — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 August 2026

ObGitSync is an iOS app that synchronises a folder of notes on your device with a Git repository that you own. It is developed by Xing Wang.

The short version

ObGitSync itself collects nothing. There is no ObGitSync account, no analytics, and no server operated by the developer. Your notes and your access token never leave your device except to talk to the Git repository you configured.

The one exception is the ad banner, which is served by Google AdMob and is removed permanently by a one-off in-app purchase. AdMob receives the data described below.

What stays on your device

What leaves your device, and where it goes

1. Your Git host. ObGitSync connects to the host in the repository URL you enter — normally github.com. Those connections carry only what Git itself needs: the repository contents you pull or push, and your access token, sent over HTTPS to authenticate you. All traffic uses TLS through Apple’s own networking stack. The developer has no servers, receives no copy of your notes, and cannot see your token. What your Git host does with that data is governed by their privacy policy.

2. Google AdMob (only while ads are shown). To fill the banner, the Google Mobile Ads SDK sends Google technical information about the request — device type and settings, coarse location inferred from your IP address, and identifiers used to count and cap ad impressions and to detect fraud.

ObGitSync requests non-personalised ads only. It does not ask for permission to track you, does not use the Advertising Identifier for tracking, and does not link ad data to anything you do in the app. Google’s handling of the data it receives is covered by Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Removing ads. A one-off in-app purchase removes the banner permanently, on every device signed in with the same Apple Account. Once removed, the ads SDK requests nothing further. The purchase itself is handled entirely by Apple — the developer never sees your payment details, and no record of the purchase leaves your device.

Tracking

ObGitSync does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites. It never presents an App Tracking Transparency prompt, because it never asks for that permission: ads are requested non-personalised, and no identifier is used to follow you elsewhere. There is no analytics SDK of any kind.

Children

ObGitSync is a developer/productivity tool and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone, of any age.

Your control

Open source components

ObGitSync links libgit2, distributed under GPLv2 with a linking exception, and the Google Mobile Ads SDK for the banner.
