Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

ONE is a social network where every post is exactly one word. This page explains, in plain English, what we store about you, why, and what we never do.

What we store

Data	Why
Username	To identify your posts and let you log back in.
Password (hashed, never in plain text)	To secure your account. We use PBKDF2-SHA256 with a unique random salt per account — even we cannot recover your actual password.
The words you post	That's the entire product — ONE is built around one-word posts.
Your timezone → a country (e.g. "Asia/Kolkata" → India)	To power the Pulse world map and "twins" (people elsewhere who posted your word). We only ever derive a country, never a precise location, IP address, or GPS coordinate.
Reactions, replies, streaks, notifications	Core app features — reacting to posts, reply threads, daily streaks, and letting you know when someone replies or reacts.

What we don't do

No ads, ever.
No third-party analytics or tracking scripts.
No selling, renting, or sharing your data with anyone.
No location tracking beyond the country your device's timezone implies.
No reading your posts to serve you ads or profile you commercially.

Like Minds & privacy

ONE's "Like Minds" feature shows you people whose posting patterns resemble yours — but it never shows anyone the actual words another person posted. You'll see things like "12 words in common" (a count) or "same emotional wavelength: hope" (a category), never the words themselves.

Account deletion

To delete your account and all associated data, contact us at the email below. We will remove your username, password hash, and posts from the database.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of ONE after a change means you accept the updated policy.
