OAuth tokens and Admin API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and never leave your device. Usage history, settings, and imported summaries stay on your device, and can optionally sync through your own private iCloud.

Crash reports and anonymous product analytics never include credentials, emails, account names or usage figures, are not used for tracking, and can be turned off in Settings. No advertising. Usages is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any supported service provider. Available metrics vary by provider and account type.
