Your data stays yours
Blincho stores settings, activity history and questionnaire answers on your device. Unless you turn update checks off, the app contacts blincho.app to check for new versions. Downloads come from GitHub. These requests do not send your activity history or questionnaire answers. This website stores only your language and theme choices in your browser and uses no advertising or analytics scripts. Hosting and download providers receive ordinary connection data.
