BlobbyPrivacy policy
Blobby is a training game for your body: short drills for balance, reaction, hand-eye and your weaker hand. Your results stay on your phone, and we only learn from you when you say yes.
This test version of the policy covers Blobby during its test with invited players. We will update it before Blobby is in the stores for everyone, and tell you in the app if anything important changes.
Who we are
Blobby is an independent project made in the European Union. We are responsible for your data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Questions or requests about your data: hello@blobby.win. We answer within 30 days.
The short version
- No account needed. Blobby works without one. If you want your results backed up, you can sign in with Apple, Google or an emailed code. There are no passwords.
- Your name (if you give one), results, trophies and streak are kept on your phone, and backed up only if you sign in.
- We learn how Blobby is used only if you say yes, and you can say no again at any time in You → Help Blobby learn.
- Crash reports help us fix the app. They hold no name, no IP address and nothing you typed.
- Everything that leaves your phone is stored in the European Union.
- We never sell your data, and there are no ads.
What we keep, where, and why
| What | Where | Why, and our legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your first name, if you type one | Your phone only | So Blobby can greet you. It never leaves the phone. |
| Results: score, drill, step, date, hour of day, phone model | Your phone only | Your progress, trophies and streak. Phone model is kept because phones differ in touch speed, so you are only compared with yourself on the same phone. |
| Settings: sound, your answers, reminder time | Your phone only | To remember your choices. |
| Daily reminders | Your phone's own notification system | One nudge a day, planned on the phone. No push server, no device token. |
| Motion readings during balance and timing drills | Your phone, during the drill | To score the drill while it runs. The raw readings are not saved or sent. |
| Usage events: which screens you open, which drills you start and finish, where you stop, plus app version, phone model and a random id | PostHog, EU servers | To learn which drills help people keep the habit. Only after you say yes (your consent). Never your name, contacts, location or anything you type. |
| Crash reports: what went wrong in the code, phone model, app version | Sentry, EU servers | To fix crashes (our legitimate interest in an app that works). No IP address, name or text you typed. |
| If you sign in to back up: your sign-in (the email address, or the Apple or Google account id), and a copy of your results with their details (scores, steps, times of day, reaction times and tap timing, phone model) | Supabase, EU servers | To keep your results safe and bring them back on a new phone (our contract with you: the backup you asked for). Only you can read them. Your email is held by the sign-in service, never stored with your results. |
| Party mode: players' names and party scores | Your phone only | Rematches and the line-up for next time. Never sent. |
| Notes you send with Tell us: a face (meh, okay, love it), your note if you write one, and the phone model and app version if you leave that switched on | Supabase, EU servers | To make Blobby better. Only when you press Send to us (your consent). Anonymous: no account, name or email goes with it, so please leave personal details out of the note. |
How long we keep it
- On your phone: until you reset Blobby (You → Reset) or delete the app.
- Usage events: up to 12 months, then deleted.
- Crash reports: up to 90 days.
- Tell us notes: up to 24 months.
- Your backup and sign-in: until you delete your account (You → Backed up → Delete my account and backup), which removes them at once.
Who else handles it
We rent three services to run Blobby. Each works only on our instructions, under a data processing agreement, with data stored in the EU:
- PostHog (usage events, only after your yes)
- Sentry (crash reports)
- Supabase (sign-in, your backup if you sign in, and Tell us notes)
If you choose Continue with Apple or Continue with Google, Apple or Google confirms who you are to us under their own privacy policies; with Apple you can hide your real email address.
Apple (TestFlight) and Google (Google Play) deliver the test app to you and handle your invitation under their own privacy policies. We do not share your data with anyone else.
Your choices and rights
- Say no to learning at any time: You → Help Blobby learn. Nothing more is sent from that moment.
- Erase your results: You → Reset, or delete the app. To erase your backup too, delete your account in the app.
- Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct or delete it, or to stop using it. Usage events and notes are not linked to your name or email, so tell us roughly when you used Blobby and on which phone, and we will do our best to find them.
- You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Children
Blobby is meant for people aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Not a medical device
Blobby is a training game. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition, and its scores are not medical measurements. You get better at the challenges; we make no promises about your health.
Changes
When this policy changes, we update the date at the top. If a change affects what we collect, we tell you in the app first.
