Privacy Policy

The One Minute Diary iOS app is built with your privacy in mind. A diary is a very personal matter. That's why no data is shared with us or any third parties. None of your behavior is tracked.
By using this website and the One Minute Diary iOS app, you are agreeing to this privacy policy.

The app relies on Apple's Core Data framework to store your data locally on your device in the app's container. In a future release, it might be possible to enable syncing your memories to your private iCloud storage. This will be an optional feature that can be disabled in the settings.
The image and audio files that you attach to a memory are also stored locally in the app's container. You can choose to additionally save photos to your device's gallery if you take a photo while using the app. That feature can be enabled and disabled in the app's settings.

No analytics or tracking data is collected.

No third-party services are used.

Your memories are personal, delicate and valuable. That's why the One Minute Diary iOS app offers an import/export backup feature. It is recommended to use the "export" feature to create a backup every now and then. This exports all of the memories that you created as a ".omdbackup" file that you can store anywhere you like. The backup includes all memories and all photos and audio files that you attached to those memories.

You can create unencrypted and encrypted backups. If you choose to encrypt your backup, you have to set a password of at least 8 characters. That password will then be required to restore from the encrypted backup ("import" feature). If you encrypt your backup and you forget your password, you will not be able to restore your memories. There is no recovery for a forgotten password. Alternatively, you can create an unencrypted backup which will not require a password. However, if somebody gains access to an unencrypted backup file, that person will be able to restore your memories. That's why it is recommended to create a password-protected encrypted backup.

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy in the future and without prior notice. The changes will be listed below to make it easier to track them. Check out our privacy policy every now and then to stay up to date with the policy that you are aggreeing to by using the app.
