Privacy policy

Last updated: November 2026

Your bookmarks stay on your device

Bookmarks, folders, notes and your save history are stored only on your device: in your browser’s storage on the web, and in the app’s storage on iPhone and Android. We do not receive or keep a copy.

What our servers process

• A random device identifier created on first use, so we can apply the daily free Save offline allowance and Pro status. It is not linked to your name or phone number, and only to your email if you log in to an account.
• Your email address and a hash of your password, only if you create an account. If you continue with Google or Apple instead, we receive your email address (or Apple’s private relay address) and an account identifier from them, and no password. We use this to log you in and apply the account’s daily allowance. You can delete your account and this data at any time from the account page.
• Links you ask us to preview or save, to fetch the public post’s preview and media. We cache previews for a few minutes and do not store the media.
• Activity and diagnostics: when your device or account used Fetchly, how many previews and saves it made, on which platform, how much data was sent, plus crash reports and any error codes. Never the links or the content themselves. We use this to keep the service working and to understand its costs, and delete it after 90 days. Deleting your account removes your identity from it.
• Reports you send us: what you wrote, the link you included and your email, so we can respond and keep a record of copyright complaints.
• Your IP address, transiently, to limit abuse (for example, how many new web sessions one network can create per hour).
• Purchases (in the apps) are handled by Apple or Google and RevenueCat; we receive whether your device has an active Pro subscription and the amount charged, for our accounts. Never your card details.

Who else handles data

Resend sends our emails, RevenueCat manages subscriptions, Apple and Google process purchases and sign-ins, Google serves ads, Cloudflare checks for bots, and Have I Been Pwned checks new passwords (it only ever sees a small part of a scrambled version, never the password). Our host stores this data on our behalf.

Cookies and browser storage

One essential cookie keeps your session, so you stay logged in and we can apply your daily allowance. It can’t be read by scripts and isn’t used for tracking. Your browser also stores your bookmarks, and your cookie choice, on your device. Essential items don’t need consent, so this notice is just to tell you. Ad cookies only load on our public pages if you accept them, and you can change your mind any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of any public page.

Advertising

Free users may see ads from Google (AdSense on our public web pages, AdMob in the apps). Google may use cookies or your device’s advertising identifier to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time from the privacy settings link in the consent message. Pro users don’t see ads.

Your choices

• Clear your bookmarks any time from Settings, or by clearing site data / uninstalling the app.
• Decline personalised ads in the consent message or your device’s settings.
• Get a copy of your account data from Settings, or delete your account and its data from the account page.
• Fetchly isn’t for children under 13. If you think a child has given us personal data, tell us and we’ll delete it.
• Contact us at support@getfetchly.xyz with questions or requests.
