Privacy
Your boards never leave your device
Every workspace, column, card, tag, note, timer and image you create is stored in your
own browser, under the kanban.v1 key in localStorage (images in
IndexedDB). There is no account, no sign-in and no server of ours holding a copy. We
cannot read your boards, recover them, or hand them to anyone — if you clear your browser
data they are gone, which is why Export lives in the rail menu.
What is collected
- Google AdSense — serves the ads that keep the free tier free. Google and its partners may set cookies and use device identifiers to select and measure ads.
- Vercel Web Analytics — page views and in-app events (which views get used, whether onboarding finishes), measured without cookies and without following you between sites. If you answer “What do you do?” during onboarding, that one answer is sent with the event so we know who the app is being built for. It is never linked to a name or an email, and no card content is ever sent.
- Gumroad — if you buy a Kani Plus pass, your licence key is sent to Gumroad to be verified, and re-checked periodically. Gumroad handles the payment; we never see or store card details.
- The feedback form — only what you type into it, plus whatever the form host records. Leave it blank and nothing is sent.
Consent
If you are in the EEA or the UK, AdSense does not load until you accept the banner.
Decline and no ad script is ever fetched — the app works exactly the same. Elsewhere it
loads by default and you can decline from the same banner. Your choice is
kept in localStorage under kanban.consent; clearing your browser
data asks you again.
Supporters and Plus pass holders see no ads at all.
Your rights
Because we hold no account, most requests are things you can do yourself: your board data is exportable and deletable from inside the app, and clearing site data removes everything we ever stored. For the ad data held by Google, see how Google uses data from sites that use its services, or opt out of personalised ads at My Ad Center. If you are in the EEA or UK you have the right to access, correct, delete and port your data, and to complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
Kani is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes and contact
Material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect. Questions, or a request about your data: hello@kaniban.com.
