One Percent Daily ("the app", "we", "us") is a personal productivity application that helps you break goals into daily actions using AI. It is operated by Bombay Media, Dubai, UAE.

Your goals, tasks, and Brain Bank content — including the image itself, for photo uploads — are processed by the following AI vendors:
AI-generated summaries and insights are marked as such within the app. The AI does not have access to your account credentials.
One Percent Daily lets you save content to your Brain Bank by sharing it to our Instagram account in a direct message. This is optional and off until you link your Instagram account in Settings.
What we receive. When you send a direct message to our Instagram account, Meta sends us your Instagram-scoped user ID, your Instagram username, the text of that message, and details of any reel, post or link you shared. We receive nothing about your Instagram account unless you message us first, and we never see messages you send to anyone else.
How we use it.To link your account, the app shows you a short code and you send it to us as a direct message. When we receive it we store the Instagram-scoped ID Meta gives us for that sender, and that ID is what connects your Instagram account to your One Percent Daily account from then on. We store the username it belongs to so we can show you which account is linked. The code itself is short-lived and is discarded as soon as it is used. The shared reel is processed into a Brain Bank entry the same way an uploaded link is: we fetch the media, transcribe any speech, sample still frames to read text and visuals shown on screen, and generate a summary. Where the source allows it, a thumbnail — either the post's own preview image or one still frame we extract — is saved to your library; a private or otherwise unreachable source can save without one. We reply once in the same Instagram conversation to confirm the save.
Third-party AI processing. That processing sends the content to the AI providers listed above — OpenRouter for summarisation, Google Gemini for embeddings, Groq for audio transcription. It is the same pipeline as any other Brain Bank item; sharing by DM changes how the content arrives, not where it goes.
What we never do. We do not read direct messages on any account other than our own. We do not post on your behalf, follow accounts, or read your followers. We do not message anyone who has not messaged us first, and we send nothing promotional. Messages from senders we cannot match to a linked account are discarded without a reply.
Retention and deletion. We never store the Instagram media link itself — it is a signed URL that expires within minutes, so we use it once to fetch the content and discard it. What we keep is the derived Brain Bank entry: transcript, summary, embeddings, and, when one was saved, the thumbnail image described above. The Instagram link and any saved entry last as long as your account does. Unlink in Settings to stop all of it immediately — this is the way almost everyone should do it, since sharing a reel by DM never requires granting our account any access to yours. Deleting an entry or your account removes any stored thumbnail along with everything else. See Data deletion.
Your data is stored securely in a Supabase-managed PostgreSQL database. Supabase is hosted on AWS infrastructure. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Row-level security ensures your data is only accessible to your account.
Photos, recorded audio and PDFs you upload to your Brain Bank are stored as original files in a private Supabase Storage bucket, scoped to your account only, alongside a thumbnail image for each Brain Bank entry (including one derived from shared Instagram content, described above). Deleting an item, wiping your Brain Bank, or deleting your account also deletes these stored files.
Google Calendar refresh tokens are stored in encrypted form using AES-256-GCM.
We also use the following providers, each bound by its own privacy policy:
We use cookies solely for authentication (to keep you logged in). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. By using the app, you consent to this essential use.
One Percent Daily is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us for immediate deletion.
We may update this policy. Significant changes will be notified via email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
