1. Introduction
Welcome to Blink ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure experience when using our ephemeral image sharing service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and Android application.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Images
When you upload an image to Blink, we temporarily store the image on our servers. All images are automatically and permanently deleted 60 seconds after upload. We do not retain, backup, or archive any uploaded images beyond this period.
2.2 Device Information
Our Android app may collect:
- Device type and model
- Operating system version
- App version
- Anonymous usage statistics
2.3 Usage Data
We collect anonymous usage data to improve our service, including:
- Number of uploads (stored locally on your device)
- App crash reports
- General usage patterns
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information solely for:
- Providing the ephemeral image sharing service
- Improving app performance and user experience
- Monitoring and preventing abuse of the service
- Displaying advertisements (Android app only)
4. Data Storage and Security
Images are stored on secure cloud infrastructure (Cloudflare R2) with automatic deletion after 60 seconds. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data during transmission and storage.
No account creation or personal identification is required to use Blink. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personally identifiable information.
5. Third-Party Services
5.1 Advertising
Our Android app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google may collect and use data as described in their Privacy Policy.
5.2 Cloud Services
We use Cloudflare for content delivery and storage. Cloudflare's privacy practices are governed by their Privacy Policy.
6. Children's Privacy
Blink is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us immediately.
7. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal information and all images are automatically deleted after 60 seconds, there is no persistent data to access, modify, or delete. If you have any concerns, please contact us.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
