OneDime Privacy Policy

Last updated Oct 19, 2026

OneDime keeps only what it needs to track your own earnings, never sells your data, and lets you export or delete everything at any time.

OneDime is a free income tracker built and run by Brandon Caris. This policy explains what OneDime stores, why, and the choices you have. It is a draft written in plain language and has not been reviewed by a lawyer.

To keep you signed in

When you upload a PayPal activity file, OneDime reads only the eight fields listed above. The rest of the file is discarded, and the file itself is never stored.

What OneDime never collects or does

• No passwords or logins for PayPal or any gig platform. You sign in through PayPal's own page.

• No bank, card or Social Security numbers.

• No study content, client files or work you do on other platforms. Only proof of pay.

• No ads, no tracking pixels and no selling or renting your data to anyone.

• No logging in to, scraping or automating any gig platform on your behalf.

How it's used and who sees it

Your data is used only to run OneDime for you: totals, rates, verification, exports and the game. It is shared only with the services that make OneDime work:

• PayPal, to sign you in. PayPal's own privacy policy covers what happens on PayPal's pages.

• The hosting provider that runs OneDime's server and database (Render), which stores the data on OneDime's behalf.

Smart suggestions, if you turn them on, run on your own device. Payer names and amounts are not sent to any AI service.

Other players see you only if you join the leaderboard, and then only your display name, verified totals, level and milestone dates. Never your email, notes or unverified amounts.

OneDime may disclose data if the law requires it.

Your choices

• Export: download any tab, or everything, as CSV or Excel files at any time.

• Edit or delete entries: change or remove any record you added.

• Delete your account: "Delete my data" in settings permanently removes your account and every record tied to it.

• Leaderboard: off by default. Join or leave at any time.

• Smart suggestions: off by default. Turn them on or off at any time.

Security, retention and the rest

• Security: connections are encrypted, sessions are stored as hashes, and money is stored as exact whole cents. No system is perfectly secure, but OneDime keeps as little as it can.

• Retention: your data stays until you delete it or your account. Deleted data is removed from the live database right away and from backups within 30 days.

• Adults only: OneDime is for people 18 and older and does not knowingly collect data from anyone younger.

• Changes: if this policy changes, the date at the top changes, and significant changes are shown in the app.
