Privacy Policy
Effective 2026-07-12
One Minute Message is a free service: one message is broadcast globally every UTC minute. This page explains what we collect and why, in plain language.
What we collect
We collect:
- Account info — your email address. If you sign in with Google, we also receive your name, email, and avatar from your Google profile.
- The messages you submit.
- Your upvotes and hearts.
- An approximate, anonymous presence signal (“reading with N people”) so the live broadcast can show how many people are watching. This isn’t tied to your identity and isn’t stored long-term.
What we don’t do
No ads. No selling your data. No third-party tracking or analytics cookies. The only cookies we use are the ones that keep you signed in.
Messages are public
When a message airs, it becomes publicly visible to everyone, forever, at a permanent link — without your name attached. Messages are anonymous to the public, but linked to your account internally so we can enforce the one-message-per-day limit and moderate submissions.
Moderation
Submissions pass automated checks, including toxicity screening. Flagged messages may be read by a human reviewer before they air or are removed.
Where data lives
The service is hosted on Supabase (database and auth) and Vercel (serving the site). Auth emails are delivered via Resend. Each processes data only as needed to run One Minute Message.
Your rights
You can edit or delete a message until it airs. To request account deletion or an export of your data, email oneminutemessage.world@gmail.com.
Aired messages may remain at their permalink after account deletion. They’re anonymous broadcast history — part of the public record of what the world read that minute.
Children
One Minute Message is not directed at children under 13. Don’t sign up if you are under 13.
Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the effective date at the top. Questions go to oneminutemessage.world@gmail.com.
