Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Overview

OneLine – Daily Diary ("the App") is developed by Kevin Merz ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our application.

The short version: OneLine does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to us. Your journal entries, mood data, and all personal content stay exclusively on your device and in your private cloud sync (your personal account). We have no access to your data.

Data Collection

We do not collect any data. Specifically:

  • We do not collect personal information
  • We do not collect usage analytics
  • We do not track your behavior
  • We do not read, access, or process your journal entries
  • We do not access your mood data, streak information, or any other content you create
  • We do not upload any of your data to our servers — we have no servers that receive your data
  • We do not display advertisements or use ad-tracking technologies

Local Storage & Cloud Sync

All journal entries, mood selections, photos, and personal data are stored locally on your device. If you use cloud sync, your data is synced through your own private cloud account. This sync is encrypted in transit and at rest by the platform provider.

We have no access to your cloud-synced data. The sync happens directly between your devices through your personal account, not through any servers we operate.

In-App Purchases

OneLine offers an optional one-time Premium upgrade through the App Store. Purchase transactions are handled entirely by the App Store and our payment processor (RevenueCat). We do not collect or store your payment information. RevenueCat processes an anonymous app user ID to manage your purchase status — no personal information is shared with them.

For RevenueCat's privacy practices, please refer to their privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.

Biometric Authentication

The Premium version offers an optional biometric lock feature. Biometric data (Face ID / Touch ID) is processed entirely by your device's operating system. We never access, store, or transmit biometric data. This feature simply uses the system's built-in authentication to protect access to the app.

Photos

If you attach photos to journal entries (Premium feature), these photos are stored locally on your device and synced through your private cloud account. We do not access, analyze, or transmit your photos.

Notifications

Daily reminder notifications are scheduled locally on your device. No notification data is sent to external servers.

Children's Privacy

Since we do not collect any data, OneLine is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
