How PokéRogue Offline handles data in connection with Google Sign-In / Google Drive access.
← Back to HomeLast updated: 2026-07-07
PokéRogue-Offline is an unofficial, offline-capable wrapper for the game PokéRogue, distributed for desktop (Electron) and sideloaded mobile builds (Capacitor). This document describes how the app handles data in connection with Google Sign-In / Google Drive access.
The app requests the Google Drive appdata scope
(https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata) only.
This scope grants access exclusively to a hidden, application-specific folder in the user's Google Drive.
It does not grant access to:
The sole purpose of this access is to back up and restore the user's local game save file. When the user chooses to back up, the save file is uploaded to their own hidden app-data folder. When the user chooses to restore, the save file is downloaded from that same folder.
OAuth tokens are stored locally on the user's device (using OS-level secure storage on desktop, and platform-appropriate secure storage on mobile). Tokens are never transmitted to or stored on any server operated by us.
Save data placed in the Drive appdata folder remains under the user's Google account and is subject to Google's own retention policies. The user can revoke this app's access at any time via their Google Account permissions page, which also removes the app's ability to read or write to that folder.
Any future changes to what data is accessed or how it is used will be reflected on this page, versioned alongside the source code at github.com/PokeRogue-Offline/pokerogue-offline.
