- We don't ask for accounts and don't collect your personal information.
- Your photos and videos are processed entirely on your device and never uploaded to us.
- Ads and anonymous crash/usage analytics are provided by Google services described below.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, files, or any account data — because SaverOne has no accounts. No server of ours ever receives your media.
Data collected by third-party SDKs
SaverOne uses a small number of Google services to keep the app free and reliable:
- Google AdMob — serves ads in the app. AdMob may collect your advertising ID, device information, and coarse ad-serving data. See Google's Privacy Policy and Ads Policy.
- Firebase Analytics — collects anonymous usage events (like feature taps and app opens) to help us understand which features are useful.
- Firebase Crashlytics — collects crash logs, device model, and OS version to help us fix bugs.
These services help fund a free app, improve stability, and improve features. You can reset or delete your Advertising ID, and opt out of ads personalization, in your Android system settings.
App-specific data handling
SaverOne reads only the media folders you explicitly grant it access to via Android's folder picker (Storage Access Framework). It displays statuses that are already downloaded onto your device by your messaging app — including WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, and cloned installations you choose to add. Tapping "Save" (or enabling optional auto-save) copies the selected files into your own gallery — nothing is transmitted anywhere. Revoking the folder permission in your system settings immediately stops all access.
Permissions we request and why
- Folder access (Storage Access Framework) — to read statuses from the folders you choose.
- Notifications (optional) — to let you know when new statuses are saved.
- Background work (optional) — auto-save runs periodically on your device to copy new statuses; it involves no network activity.
SaverOne does not request camera, microphone, contacts, or location access.
Children's privacy
SaverOne is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
Data retention & deletion
We hold no user data ourselves. Data collected by Google's SDKs is governed by Google's own retention policies. Uninstalling the app removes all local app data. Because there is no account, there is no account-deletion process to complete.
Ads & purchases
SaverOne is free to use and supported by ads. If a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is offered, it is processed entirely by Google Play — we never see your payment details.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
