OneThing is a local-first Android productivity app by Essara. It helps you capture a brain dump, choose one task, break it into small steps, and run a focused work session. This policy explains what the app handles and how privacy-sensitive features work.
Information We Collect
OneThing is designed so your tasks, focus sessions, settings, and app preferences are stored locally on your device. The app does not require a user account to function, and we do not intentionally collect the text of your tasks on our servers.
Local App Data
The app may store brain dump entries, selected tasks, focus history, notification preferences, onboarding choices, and Pro entitlement state on your device. You can remove locally stored app data by uninstalling OneThing or clearing app storage in Android settings.
Google Play Billing
If you purchase OneThing Pro, payment is processed by Google Play Billing. Google may handle payment information, purchase tokens, account identifiers, tax information, and related transaction records under Google's own policies. OneThing uses billing status only to unlock, restore, and manage Pro access in the app.
Notifications
OneThing may offer optional reminders, such as a morning nudge to choose your task. Notifications are controlled by Android system permissions and app settings. If you deny or disable notification permission, reminders may not appear.
Analytics and Advertising
The current app direction does not require third-party ad tracking, selling personal information, or the Android Advertising ID. If analytics or advertising behavior changes in the future, this policy should be updated before release to explain what is collected, why it is collected, and what controls are available.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data may be shared only when required to operate optional platform services, process Google Play purchases, comply with law, or protect rights and safety.
Children's Privacy
OneThing is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
Security
We use a local-first design to reduce unnecessary data exposure. No storage or transmission method is perfectly secure, so avoid storing highly sensitive information inside task text.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as OneThing changes. The effective date above will be updated when meaningful changes are made.
