Privacy Policy

What we collect, what stays on your phone, and your choices.

Last updated: October 29, 2026

The short version

  • On the free plan, your links, notes, folders and images stay on your phone. We don't upload them.
  • From everyone, we collect only what keeps the app running and healthy: an account ID, crash reports and basic device info.
  • Premium backs up your saves to the cloud so they sync between devices. Secret folders are never uploaded.
  • No ads, no ad tracking, and we never sell your data.

Who we are

1Save ("we", "us") makes the 1Save Android app and the website 1save.app. This policy explains what information we handle, why, and the choices you have. Questions? Email support@1save.app.

What stays on your phone

The following is stored on your device. On the free plan, none of it leaves your phone. With Premium, your saves are also backed up to the cloud (see Premium below), but your PIN and clipboard always stay on your phone.

  • The links, images and screenshots you save, with their titles, preview images and your notes.
  • Your folders, reminders and app settings. Reminders are scheduled on your phone, not sent from our servers.
  • Your secret folder PIN. We store only a scrambled (hashed) version in your phone's secure storage, and we can't see or recover it.
  • Clipboard checks. When you open 1Save, the app looks at your clipboard for a link so it can offer to save it. The clipboard content isn't sent to us.

On the free plan, if you uninstall the app or lose your phone, your saves are gone, so consider Premium backup if that matters to you.

What we collect from everyone

We collect a small amount of information to run the app, keep it stable and prevent abuse:

  • Account ID. When you first open 1Save, the app creates an anonymous account ID with Firebase Authentication. It isn't linked to your name.
  • Google account details (only if you sign in with Google). Your email address, name and profile photo, used to identify your account and show your profile.
  • Crash reports. If the app crashes, Firebase Crashlytics sends us a report with the error details, device model, Android version and app version. We use it only to fix bugs.
  • Device record. A random ID created by the app (not your phone's hardware ID), plus device model, Android version, app version and the last sync time.
  • App status. Whether you're on Premium, whether you finished onboarding and the getting-started tasks. This helps us understand where people get stuck.
  • App integrity check. Firebase App Check confirms requests come from the genuine 1Save app, which protects our servers from abuse.

Link previews

When you save a link, 1Save fetches its title and preview image. To do that, the link is sent to one of the following:

  • The site's own preview service, for TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo and Reddit. This request goes straight from your phone to that site.
  • Our preview server, which runs on Cloudflare, opens the page and returns its title and image.
  • A hidden browser inside the app on your phone, if the other two can't read the page.

The link is used only to build the preview. On the free plan it isn't saved to your account on our servers. Sites you send links to may handle the request under their own privacy policies.

Premium: backup and sync

If you subscribe to Premium, we back up your saved links, notes, folders and images to Google Cloud Firestore and Firebase Storage, so they're safe and sync across your devices.

Items in secret folders are never uploaded. If a backed-up item is moved into a secret folder, its cloud copy is deleted.

Subscriptions are processed by Google Play. We use RevenueCat to check whether your subscription is active; it receives your account ID and purchase information from Google Play. We never see your card or payment details.

How we use information

  • To provide the app's features, including previews and Premium sync.
  • To find and fix crashes and bugs.
  • To protect the service from abuse and fraud.
  • To answer you when you contact support.

We don't show ads, we don't use advertising trackers, and we don't sell or rent your information to anyone.

Services we use

  • Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Storage, Crashlytics, App Check): accounts, Premium backup, crash reports and integrity checks.
  • Google Sign-In: optional sign-in.
  • Google Play Billing and RevenueCat: subscriptions.
  • Cloudflare: our link preview server.
  • Tally: the account deletion request form.
  • Google Analytics: visit statistics on this website only, not in the app.

Each provider handles data under its own privacy terms and only for the purpose above.

How long we keep it

  • Data on your phone stays until you delete it or uninstall the app.
  • Account, device and Premium backup data stay until you delete your account.
  • Crash reports are kept by Firebase Crashlytics for a limited time (currently 90 days).

Your choices and rights

  • Delete your account and its cloud data at any time on the delete account page or by emailing us.
  • Get a copy of the data we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by emailing us.
  • Turn off reminders in the app or in your phone's notification settings.
  • Cancel Premium in Google Play. Your saves stay on your phone after Premium ends.

We respond to requests within 30 days.

Security

Data sent between the app and our services is encrypted in transit. Cloud data is protected by access rules so only your account can read it. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe and collect as little as we can.

Children

1Save is not intended for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. For important changes, we'll also let you know in the app.
