Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

The Button is designed to collect as little data as possible. No accounts, no login, no names, no emails. Here's exactly what happens with your data.

What we don't collect

No personal information — no name, email, phone number, or address
No account or login of any kind
No server-side storage of your buttons or activity
No tracking across apps or websites beyond anonymized app usage analytics

What stays on your device

Your buttons are stored locally on your device. There is no database, no cloud sync, and no server-side copy. If you uninstall the app, your buttons are gone unless your device backup restores them.

How the app works

When someone presses a button, the server delivers a notification and forgets. No history is kept, no record of who pressed or who received it.

Device identifier

The app uses an anonymous device identifier to tell your presses apart from others. It is not tied to your identity and resets when you reinstall the app.

Analytics

We collect anonymous usage data to understand how the app is used — like how many buttons are created and how often they are pressed. This data is aggregated and cannot identify you.

No cross-app or cross-site tracking
No ad personalization
Data is retained for 2 months only

Security

The app verifies that requests come from a genuine installation to prevent abuse. This check does not identify you.

Third-party services

The app relies on Google services for notifications, analytics, and security. Google's privacy policy applies to their processing of data: Google Privacy Policy.
