Privacy Policy

Last updated:

BlipJab collects the minimum needed to deliver a short sound from one friend to another. There is no account, no name, and no email. Your identity is an anonymous device ID plus a 4-character invite code. We do not sell your data or share it with advertisers.

What we collect

• Blip recordings (audio): stored only to deliver the latest blip to the friend you choose. Blips are ephemeral — latest-only — and are replaced as newer ones arrive.
• Anonymous device ID: identifies your device as a user without any personal details.
• Invite code: a short 4-character code so friends can connect with you.
• Push token (optional): only if you enable notifications, so friends' blips can reach you.
• Hashed phone number (optional): only if you choose to be discoverable by contacts. We store a one-way SHA-256 hash, never the raw number.

Contacts

Contact matching is optional and done entirely on your device. Phone numbers are hashed with SHA-256 before anything leaves your phone. Raw contacts and phone numbers are never uploaded or stored. The app is fully usable without contacts access — just add friends by invite code.

On-device data

Nicknames, mute settings, streaks, and other preferences are stored locally on your device, not on our servers.

Payments

BlipJab is free to use. If you make an optional purchase (such as a Pro upgrade or add-on pack), it is processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play through their in-app purchase systems. We never receive or store your payment card details. Prices are shown before you buy, and any subscription renews only until you cancel it in your store account settings.

What we do not do

• No advertising identifiers (IDFA / GAID) and no ad networks.
• No cross-app tracking.
• No selling or sharing of your data with advertisers or data brokers.
• No collection of location, health, financials, browsing history, or photos.

Children

BlipJab is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

Deleting your data

Blips are ephemeral and are removed as newer ones replace them. To delete other data (such as your hashed phone number or push token) or for any privacy question or deletion request, contact us at support@blipjab.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
