Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

What we collect

When you use Blumie, we collect information you provide directly: your email, profile details (name, photos, bio, interests), and optional health information you choose to share. We also collect device information, approximate location (for matching), and usage data to improve the service.

Location data: We use your device's location to show you people nearby. Only approximate distance is shown to other users. Never your exact coordinates. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings.

Verification photos: Photos submitted for verification are reviewed by a human moderator and permanently deleted immediately after review. They are never stored on our servers beyond the review window.

How we use your data

  • To provide the Blumie service (matching, messaging, notifications)
  • To verify your identity and maintain community safety
  • To show you relevant matches based on your location and preferences
  • To process payments for premium subscriptions
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and policy violations
  • To improve our service through aggregated, anonymized analytics

Data sharing

We never sell your personal data. We never share your health information with third parties. We only share data with:

  • Payment processors: To handle subscription billing (Bachs.io)
  • Cloud infrastructure: To securely store and serve data (encrypted at rest)
  • Law enforcement: Only when legally required by valid court order

Data security

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard protocols. Messages between users are encrypted end-to-end. We conduct regular security audits and maintain strict access controls internally.

Your rights

  • Access: Request a copy of all data we hold about you
  • Correction: Update or correct any inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data permanently
  • Portability: Export your data in a standard format
