β Back to OneWorldFeedPrivacy note
Version 14 β October 2026
- What we keep: your email, name, handle and the photo you choose; your time zone; your posts, messages, pictures and voice notes; your settings; a record of your sign-ins β time, browser and device type, and approximate place; and other security records.
- Sign-in records older than 90 days are hidden, and removed the next time you sign in.
- Your time zone stays private unless you turn on 'Show my local time on my profile'.
- Who can see it: public posts are visible to anyone. Messages are visible to the people in the conversation.
- An admin can see a message's text only when it was reported, blocked or flagged for safety.
- Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. They are checked automatically for safety.
- Some outside companies provide AI, hosting and other services for OneWorldFeed, including its automatic safety checks; others are contacted by your own browser when a page shows their content. Every company that receives personal data is listed below. A few lookups that OneWorldFeed's servers make for public information send no personal data; they are described after that list.
- If anyone in a conversation asks Owl for help there, that conversation is sent to an AI company so Owl can answer.
- Voice notes are turned into text by a machine for a safety check only. That text is not shown to anyone and is not kept, unless the check blocks it or flags it. Translation happens only when you ask for it.
- Calendar reminders are private to your account. Their text is checked for safety when you save it. A reminder that is refused or flagged for safety leaves a safety record with no copy of its words.
- When a calendar alert shows in OneWorldFeed, it is also saved to your Alerts list.
- This browser remembers which calendar alerts it has shown, for two days, so it doesn't show one twice.
- If you sign up with an email address, we send one message to confirm it.
- We use a few cookies to keep you signed in and to recognise your device. None are for advertising.
- OneWorldFeed has no ads today. If that ever changes, we'll tell you before it does. We don't sell your personal data.
- Your controls: download your data or delete your account in Settings. After deletion we keep a marker where each of your messages and comments was, without your name or its text, along with reports and security and moderation records.
- Questions: OneWorldFeed@outlook.com.
Outside companies
- Google β Sign-in, and the database and file storage that hold your account and everything you post (Firebase). Pictures sent for an automatic safety check (Cloud Vision). Text you ask to have translated (Cloud Translation). Questions to Owl, when Gemini answers.
- Vercel β Runs the website, and counts visits to its pages.
- Upstash β Counters that limit how fast one account or address can act, and the results of earlier safety checks, kept against a fingerprint of the content rather than the content itself.
- OpenAI β Text and pictures sent for an automatic safety check, including messages. Questions to Owl, when OpenAI answers.
- Groq β Text sent for an automatic safety check: posts, comments and other text outside direct messages, and direct-message text (including the text of voice notes) only when OpenAI's safety check is unavailable. Voice notes sent to be transcribed. Questions to Owl (with the conversation or posts Owl was asked about) when Groq answers.
- Anthropic β Questions to Owl, with the conversation or posts Owl was asked about, when Anthropic answers. Reported posts, comments and messages, when the OWF team reviews reports with the help of Claude.
- Wikipedia β The words you type into "Look up on Wikipedia". Also, the Feed page asks Wikipedia for its "On this day" list straight from your browser when it opens, including for signed-out visitors, and the picture in a lookup loads from Wikimedia, the group that runs Wikipedia.
- Open-Meteo β The city you type when you pick a city for your profile, and the coordinates of the city on your profile when weather is shown.
- Google β Profile pictures of people who signed in with Google, loaded from Google when a feed or profile shows them, including to signed-out visitors. The Google sign-in window also loads a script from Google when you use Google to sign in.
- YouTube β The video player loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced address (youtube-nocookie.com) only when you tap a video on the Feed page. YouTube sees that visit and may store cookies once the video plays. The video thumbnails on the Feed page load from YouTube's image servers when the page shows them.
- NASA β The picture of the day on the Feed and News pages, loaded from NASA's servers when the page shows it, including to signed-out visitors.
- U.S. Geological Survey β The list of recent earthquakes, asked for straight from your browser when the Feed page opens, including for signed-out visitors.
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art β A random artwork and its picture, asked for straight from your browser when the Feed page opens, including for signed-out visitors.
- TheMealDB β A random recipe and its picture, asked for straight from your browser when the Feed page opens, including for signed-out visitors.
- News publishers β The pictures on news cards load straight from each publisher's own website, so that website sees your visit; which websites depends on the stories shown, including to signed-out visitors.
Lookups that send no personal data
Some pages show public information that OneWorldFeed's own servers fetch from outside services. These requests carry no name, email, account, address or content of yours, and the service sees OneWorldFeed's server, not you.
- News: headlines come from GNews, or from the BBC's world news feed (through rss2json) when GNews is unavailable. The request names at most a topic or country filter from the News page, not who chose it.
- Fact-check: when a signed-in person opens a news story, the story's headline is looked up in Google's Fact Check Tools. Only the headline is sent, never your account.
- Public holidays on your profile: the list for the country on your profile is fetched from Nager.Date by OneWorldFeed's server, by country code and year only. Country details and flags on your profile come with the app and are not fetched from anyone.
- Picture of the day: the NASA picture shown on the Feed and News pages is fetched from NASA by OneWorldFeed's server.
- Space weather and volcano reports on the News page: from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center and the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program.
- Video lists on the Feed page: from the YouTube Data API, for the channels OneWorldFeed follows.
- Music details (Spotify, Last.fm, LRCLIB and lyrics.ovh): used only by admin tools and by pages that are switched off, and asked for by song or artist name only.
