Rally preview 0.5.0

Rally stores your library, preferences, local game paths, and cached artwork in the data folder beside the app. Connected account session tokens are protected for the current Windows user and stored separately from library metadata. Optional in-app browser profiles contain private store session information. Normal-browser sign-in uses your existing browser; Rally doesn't read its saved passwords or copy cookies from its profile.

Connecting and syncing accounts contacts the relevant store services. Artwork requests contact supported store image hosts. Launching or installing games opens their original client, which has its own privacy practices.

If automatic update checks are enabled, Rally requests a version manifest from xcynist3r.com when opened, at most once a day. Manual checks are available in Connections. The request includes the app version in its user agent; your IP address and normal connection metadata are visible to the website and its hosting provider. Rally doesn't include your accounts, library, passwords, game paths, or usage history in the check. It doesn't install updates automatically.

Rally adds no app analytics or usage telemetry. The official website and game stores have their own hosting and privacy practices.

Library exports exclude sign-in tokens but include game paths and metadata. The distributed release ZIP excludes the entire data folder. Share the release ZIP rather than your running app folder. Disconnect removes Rally's saved token and catalog, but doesn't revoke access at the store or remove old in-app browser profiles. Sign out through the store to end its session.
