Privacy policy

Tape, the trading journal by Kongy Labs. Effective 7 October 2026.

What Tape stores, and where

Everything you enter (trades, P&L, notes, journal entries, setups, mistake tags, chart screenshots, your profile picture and handle, and settings) is stored only on your device: in the app’s own storage on Android, or in your browser’s storage on the website. It is not sent to Kongy Labs or anyone else.

Uninstalling the app, or clearing the website’s data in your browser, deletes it. You can also erase everything from Settings.

Things that leave your device only when you choose

• Backups and exports. When you save a backup, export a spreadsheet or share a card, Tape hands the file to your device’s share sheet or downloads, and it goes wherever you send it (Google Drive, email, a chat app). Those services’ own privacy policies apply.
• Google Drive backup (optional). If you turn it on, Tape signs in with Google and saves a copy of your journal as “Tape backup.json” in your own Google Drive. Tape asks only for access to files it creates, so it cannot see anything else in your Drive. The copy goes straight from your device to Google; Kongy Labs never receives it or your Google account details. You can turn it off in Settings, delete the file from Drive at any time, and remove Tape’s access in your Google Account’s security settings. Google’s privacy policy applies to Drive.
• Share cards show only what you pick in the share sheet. Dollar amounts are off unless you switch them on, and your account size is never printed.

Network requests

• S&P 500 comparison (Android app, Tape Pro, off by default). If you turn on “Compare with the S&P 500”, the app downloads the index’s public daily closing prices from FRED, run by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, about twice a day. The request contains nothing about you or your trades. Like any web request, it reveals your device’s IP address to FRED.
• Purchases (Android app). Buying or restoring Tape Pro is handled entirely by Google Play. Kongy Labs never receives your payment details; Google tells the app only whether Pro is owned. Google’s privacy policy applies to the purchase.
• Linking Tape Pro to your Google account (optional). See Tape Pro entitlement below.
• The website is served by Cloudflare, which processes standard request data (such as IP address) to deliver the page. Tape itself sets no cookies and runs no analytics.

Permissions (Android)

• Internet, for the S&P 500 comparison, Google Play purchases, Google Drive backup and linking Tape Pro, all described above.
• Fingerprint / biometrics, only if you turn on App lock and choose to use it. The check happens on your device; Tape never receives your fingerprint.
• Photos you pick for chart screenshots or your profile picture are copied into Tape’s own storage on the device. Tape cannot see any other photos.

Tape Pro entitlement (the only data Kongy Labs stores)

You can choose to link Tape Pro to your Google account, so the Pro you bought in the Android app also works on the website. If you do, Tape signs in with Google and our Tape Pro service (kongylabs.com/tape/api, run on Cloudflare) stores:

• your Google account email address,
• the Google Play order ID of your Tape Pro purchase, and
• the purchase token Google Play gives for that purchase.

Nothing else about you, and none of your journal: your trades, notes and screenshots stay on your device.

Why: solely to track your Tape Pro entitlement, meaning to know which Google account owns Tape Pro, and to re-check the purchase with Google Play now and then so that a refunded purchase switches Pro off. That is the only purpose. We do not use it for marketing, newsletters or contacting you, we do not sell or share it with anyone, and we do not combine it with any other data. Google confirms your sign-in and your purchase; Cloudflare hosts the service and its database.

Removing it: email [email protected] from that Google account (or tell us the address) and we delete the record. Your Google Play purchase is not affected, but Pro on the website will need to be linked again.

Data collected by Kongy Labs

Only if you choose to link Tape Pro to your Google account: your email address and Tape Pro purchase record, stored solely to track your Tape Pro entitlement (details above). Otherwise, none. We do not sell or share personal data, and Tape contains no advertising or third-party tracking code.

Children

Tape is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
