# Privacy Policy Effective August 23, 2026. Last updated October 31, 2026. ## Feedback and content reports When you choose to send feedback, we receive your message, account or anonymous session identifier, app version, language, and basic device and operating-system details. A shake report can include a screenshot; you can exclude it before sending. Reporting an AI answer includes the selected answer shown for review, which may contain information from your saves. Other chat messages and library items are not automatically attached. Reports and screenshots are stored privately and used to investigate problems, review harmful content, and improve Glimpse. You can request deletion using the contact details below. ## The short version Glimpse stores your saved library in app-private storage on your device and does not maintain a server-side copy of the library. Android's system backup or device-transfer features may still include app data according to your device and account settings. Connected features are narrower: an AI action processes only the information needed for that action, while account, subscription, security, and limited analytics information are handled separately. We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising. ## What Glimpse handles The table below separates your local library from the information needed to run connected parts of the product. A backup file follows the destination you choose, so treat it as sensitive if you share it. ### Feedback, AI content reports, and optional screenshots - Stored: In our private feedback system - Sent to: Glimpse and our hosting service when you send a report - Retained: For reviewing and resolving reports, or until an eligible deletion request is completed ### Saved links, summaries, tags, Collections, and notes - Stored: In app-private storage on your device - Sent to: Not uploaded by Glimpse as a server-side library; Android system backup or device transfer may apply - Retained: Until you delete them, clear the app, or uninstall it; a system backup may later restore app data ### Backup files - Stored: In the folder or service you choose - Sent to: Only where you choose to save or share them - Retained: Until you remove those files ### Account identity - Stored: With our account service - Sent to: Your chosen sign-in service and our account service - Retained: While your account exists, subject to required records ### Subscription status and purchase records - Stored: With subscription and app-store services - Sent to: The services needed to confirm and manage a purchase - Retained: As needed for your account, purchase, and legal records ### Limited product analytics - Stored: With our product analytics service - Sent to: Used by us to understand feature use and diagnose problems - Retained: For product operations or until an eligible deletion request is completed ### Information needed for an AI action - Stored: Processed for that request; not added to a server-side copy of your library - Sent to: Our service and an AI processing service - Retained: Subject to short-lived operational records and the processor's policy ### A saved URL and basic link details when richer content is requested - Stored: Processed for that request - Sent to: A link-content retrieval service when the original site requires it - Retained: Only as needed to complete and protect the request ## When you use an AI feature Glimpse sends only what is needed for the action you choose. Adding context to a save can use that link's URL and page details. Meaning-based search uses a short description of the saved item or query. Ask uses your question and the relevant context from the selected saves. Optional notification wording can use the context needed for that notification. Your whole library is not sent as one bulk upload. ## Account and sign-in Google Sign-In is optional for local saving and required for free cloud AI, Pro, and Glimpse backup restore access. Raindrop bookmark import is free and requires no account. An anonymous session may support connected services such as feedback. App verification and minimal account-based usage records enforce allowances without storing your library. Sign in with Apple will apply to the iOS version when it becomes available. Depending on what your sign-in service shares, we may receive an email address, name, and profile image. We use the account to recognize you, manage plan status, apply lifetime and recurring usage allowances, and protect connected features from misuse. The account is separate from the saved library on your device. ## Notifications Notification delivery is scheduled on your device. The wording can be drafted through an AI request using the context needed for that notification. If that request is unavailable, Glimpse uses fallback wording. Glimpse does not need a remote push message to deliver these scheduled reminders. ## Backups you control Creating and exporting local backup files is free. You can choose a folder and schedule automatic local exports. Restoring a Glimpse JSON backup requires a current or previously verified paid Pro account; backup restore access remains after a paid subscription expires. Raindrop HTML and CSV exports are read on your device without network requests or a Raindrop login; bookmark import does not trigger AI processing. Backups do not contain authoritative entitlement or usage credentials and importing never replenishes the AI allowance. You may also share an in-app backup to another app or storage service. A backup can contain your full library; Glimpse cannot control a copy after you choose to move or share it. Separately, Android may back up or transfer app-private data according to your device and Google account settings. ## Service categories We use specialist services for the purposes below. Providers can change as the product evolves. Contact meyashjoshi3101@gmail.com if you need the current processor list for a privacy request. ### Account and sign-in Confirms Google Sign-In for the current Android release and keeps the account information needed to recognize you when you choose to sign in. Sign in with Apple will apply to the iOS version when it becomes available. The account service does not receive a server-side copy of your saved library. ### Subscriptions and store payments Confirms plan status and lets the app store manage payment, renewal, cancellation, and eligible refunds. We do not receive your full card details. ### AI processing Processes only the input needed for the action you start, such as adding context to a link, searching by meaning, answering from selected saves, or drafting notification wording. ### Link content retrieval Fetches page information and, for some video or social links, may retrieve captions or transcripts so Glimpse can understand what was saved. ### Security and abuse prevention Checks that connected requests come from a genuine app install and applies lifetime, monthly, daily, and rapid-use allowances and misuse protections. ### Product analytics Collects limited information such as app version, device and operating-system details, and feature-use events so we can diagnose problems and improve the product. It is not used for advertising. ## Android permissions Internet access is needed for sign-in, page information, connected features, subscription checks, and security. Notification permission lets you receive reminders scheduled by the app. Billing access lets the app store manage an optional subscription. Glimpse does not need your camera, microphone, contacts, or location for its core experience. ## Retention Your installed on-device library remains until you delete items, clear the app's data, or uninstall it. In-app backup files remain wherever you chose to place them. Android system backup or device transfer may retain or restore app data according to your device and account settings. Account, subscription, security, analytics, and operational records are kept only as long as needed for the purposes described above, including legal, fraud-prevention, and purchase-record obligations. ## Deletion and control You can remove local items, clear the library, or request account deletion from Settings. Uninstalling removes the installed copy of the app's private local data, but does not remove in-app backup files you placed elsewhere, data retained by Android system backup or device transfer, or an active app-store subscription. You can also email meyashjoshi3101@gmail.com for an eligible server-side data deletion request. We may need to verify the request and may retain records that law or fraud prevention requires. ## Children Glimpse is intended for adults aged 18 and over and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has provided personal information through Glimpse, contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate action, including deleting that information where required. ## Changes to this policy We may update this policy when the product or its data practices change. The date at the top shows the latest revision. If a change materially affects how personal information is handled, we will provide notice appropriate to the change. ## Contact For privacy questions or requests, email meyashjoshi3101@gmail.com. ## Further reading - [Glimpse: Save links.
