Privacy Policy
This policy covers the native TheOneConvert app and its release marketing website, including version 3.0 playback positions and browsing preferences.
Version 3.0 is available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The native-app practices below apply to this current release.
1. Native app overview
TheOneConvert is designed around on-device article conversion and local storage. The native app does not require an account, does not include analytics or advertising SDKs, and does not use a developer-operated external conversion or AI service.
2. Data stored on device
Saved articles, folders, article-library favorites, notebook notes, export preferences, reader preferences, and other app settings are stored locally so the library can support offline reading and export.
3. Optional iCloud sync
If you enable iCloud sync, the saved library is synced through your own Apple ID so it can appear on your other devices. This is optional and can be disabled in the app. Watch Favorites and History are separate local lists and are not included in optional library iCloud sync.
4. Apple Intelligence summaries
On supported devices, TheOneConvert can summarize reader text on-device through Apple's system Foundation Models framework. The capability appears only when it is supported, enabled, and ready. Reader text is not sent to a developer-operated AI service, and a summary is stored only when you explicitly save it to the notebook.
5. Watch Favorites, History, and Standard data
Watch starts without a bundled or remembered website. In Standard mode, the app keeps local, versioned Favorites and up to 500 normalized recent completed visits in History. Favorites can include a page URL and title. History can also include the last visit date and visit count.
Favorites and History can each be opened and managed with category-scoped single, selected, and delete-all actions; Favorites can also be renamed. Removing one category does not remove the other category or Standard website data.
Standard browsing uses WebKit's persistent website data store, so websites may keep cookies, caches, and local storage. Clear Website Data removes that Standard website data separately from Favorites and History.
6. Local playback positions and mode preference
Standard mode keeps up to 500 local playback-position records for identifiable videos. Each record contains the page URL, a media-source fingerprint, playback time, duration, and last-watched date. Direct stream URLs are not saved. These records are excluded from optional library iCloud sync.
Deleting a History entry removes its playback records. Clear History removes all playback records. Removing Favorites or using Clear Website Data is separate from deleting History and playback positions.
Incognito never reads or writes Standard playback records. Any temporary Incognito positions stay in memory and are discarded when the session ends.
The app stores your last selected browsing mode as a local preference. It does not restore the last website or keep an Incognito session after closing. A remembered Incognito choice starts a fresh private session.
7. Incognito boundaries
Incognito uses a separate non-persistent WebKit data store. Incognito visits are not added to History, and its cookies, caches, local storage, and WebView session are discarded when Incognito ends. Incognito does not make you anonymous to websites, network operators, or internet providers.
If you explicitly add a Favorite while Incognito is active, that page URL and title are intentionally stored in local Favorites until you remove them. The visit and Incognito website data are still discarded.
8. Website media and native playback
Watch opens video websites in WebKit, where the website retains discovery, session, cookies, sign-in, and provider controls. Those sites receive normal network requests and may use their own analytics, advertising, accounts, or privacy practices.
When the active page exposes an eligible direct HTTP(S) HLS or MP4 URL, TheOneConvert may pass that URL in memory to Apple's native player. The direct media URL is not persisted. TheOneConvert does not download, proxy, convert, save, import, or add website video to the article library. Unsupported, cookie-bound, DRM-protected, and hidden sources remain in the website player.
9. Release marketing website
This website provides product information, release notes, previews, support, and App Store links. It does not accept article URLs for conversion or store a conversion history. Article conversion and export are available in the native app.
10. Website analytics and infrastructure
The website may use Vercel Analytics for website-level traffic and release-site measurement. Hosting infrastructure may also process ordinary network metadata such as IP address, request headers, and runtime logs to deliver responses, debug failures, and protect service availability. These website practices do not describe the native app.
11. Third-party services and source sites
Optional iCloud sync depends on Apple's iCloud services. The Watch workspace connects directly to the website you choose, whose own terms and privacy practices apply.
12. Release status and changes
This policy may be updated when app or site behavior changes. Version 3.0 is the current public App Store release. Material privacy changes should be reflected here before or when an updated version becomes public. See release notes for the current release history.
