Privacy Policy — One Tap IRL

Last updated: 14 November 2026

One Tap IRL ("the app") is a live-streaming app for Android. This policy explains what data the app uses and how it is handled. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to stream.

What the app accesses on your device

• Camera and microphone — to capture and stream your video and audio. This is the core function of the app.
• Location (optional) — only if you enable the GPS speed overlay. Used solely to show your speed on-screen; it is not stored or sent to us.
• Network state — to select the best connection and adapt quality.

Data you provide

• Platform sign-in — when you log in to Twitch, YouTube or Kick, authentication is handled by those platforms. Access tokens are stored only on your device and are used to fetch your stream key. We never see your platform password.
• Stream keys — stored locally on your device.

What we process on our servers

• Your video stream — if you use the OneTap Cloud or Home Server features, your stream passes through a relay server to reach the platforms or your PC. The video is not recorded unless you enable recording; recordings are deleted automatically after 72 hours.
• Basic stream telemetry — connection health and bitrate, used to power the optional web control room while you are live. Not sold or shared.
• Device model — the app looks up optimal settings for your phone model. Only the model name is sent.
• Your own emotes (optional) — images you upload are stored on our server and can be seen by anyone you give the set link to. You can delete them in the app. There is no public gallery.
• Tips from Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee (optional) — if you turn this on, the service sends the tip (name, amount, message) to our server, which holds the last 50 in memory until your app fetches them. Nothing is written to disk, and a restart clears it.
• OneTap chat room (optional, off by default) — if you open a room, viewers can post messages from a web page. Messages are kept in server memory only (the last 200) and are deleted when you close the room or the server restarts. Nicknames are free text; viewers need no account. A one-way scrambled form of a viewer's IP address is kept in memory to limit message speed and to let you ban a sender, and is never shown.

What we do NOT do

• We do not sell your data.
• We do not show ads or use advertising trackers.
• We do not collect your contacts, photos, browsing history, or platform passwords.

Third parties

When you stream to a platform (Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Facebook, Rumble), your content and account are subject to that platform's own privacy policy.

Chat translation (optional) runs on your phone: language detection and translation do not send chat text anywhere. The language files are downloaded from Google the first time they are needed. The chat overlay page and the Chrome extension read public chats and emote lists directly in your browser and do not send your chat to us.

Your choices

You can log out of any platform in the app at any time, which removes the stored tokens. Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
