OneTapReminder — Privacy Policy
OneTapReminder ("the app") is a voice-first reminder app. It is designed to run on your device. We do not operate servers that collect your data, we do not show ads, and we do not use any analytics or tracking SDKs. This policy explains what the app stores, where it stays, and the only cases where data leaves your device.
Who we are
OneTapReminder is published by an independent developer. For any privacy question, contact onetapreminder@gmail.com.
What the app stores on your device
- Audio recordings you make with the microphone.
- Transcripts and reminder text generated from, or typed for, those recordings.
- Reminder times, titles, and app settings.
- Your OpenAI API key, if you choose to enter one, kept in the device's encrypted secure storage.
All of the above is held in the app's local storage on your device. We have no access to it.
On-device transcription (default)
By default, speech is transcribed entirely on your device using a downloadable Whisper model. The audio never leaves the phone for transcription. Downloading the model the first time requires an internet connection to fetch the model file from a public model host (Hugging Face); no personal data is sent in that request.
Optional features that send data off the device
These are off unless you turn them on:
- OpenAI transcription (optional). If you enter your own OpenAI API key and select the API engine, the audio you record is sent to OpenAI to be transcribed, under your own OpenAI account and OpenAI's privacy policy. If you never enter a key, no audio is ever sent to OpenAI.
- Google Calendar integration (optional). If you enable calendar integration, reminders are saved as events on a calendar account you select through your device's calendar. Those events sync through your own Google (or other) account under that provider's privacy policy. If integration is off, reminders are delivered as local notifications and stay on the device.
Permissions and why they are used
- Microphone — to record the audio you turn into reminders.
- Calendar — only when Google Calendar integration is on, to create and update your reminder events.
- Notifications — to alert you at reminder times.
- Foreground service — to finish transcribing and saving a reminder if you leave the app mid-task.
Backups
You can export a backup file (settings, history, and audio) using your device's share sheet. Where that file goes is entirely your choice; the app does not upload it anywhere.
Data sharing and selling
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with third parties for advertising. The only data transfers are the optional ones you initiate (OpenAI, your calendar provider), which go directly to those services.
Data retention and deletion
Your data stays on your device until you delete it. You can delete individual recordings and reminders in the app, or remove everything by uninstalling the app. Calendar events you already created remain in your calendar account until you delete them there.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
