This Privacy Policy explains what BlurBaby("BlurBaby," "we," "us") collects and what we do not. Our product is built so your photos and videos are protected on your own device.
1. The short version
- Face detection, covering, and export run on your device. We do not operate an upload path for your media.
- We do not receive, store, or train on your photos or videos.
- If you create an account or buy credits/a subscription, we store the minimum account and purchase records needed to deliver that service (identity, entitlements, payment provider references) - never your media.
2. Media processing (photos and videos)
When you use the BlurBaby editor in the browser or the mobile app, your file is loaded and processed locally. Face detection models and cover rendering run on-device. The protected copy is re-encoded from pixels so common embedded metadata (including location) from the original file is not carried into the export. The original file stays on your device unless you choose to delete or replace it yourself.
3. Information we may collect
3.1 When you use the site without an account
The marketing site and editor can be used without signing in. In that mode we do not create a BlurBaby user profile for you. Your browser may keep local preferences (for example a free-export counter) in localStorage on your device only.
3.2 When you sign in
If you create an account (email magic link / one-time code via our auth provider), we process the email address you provide and authentication session data so you can sign in across devices and keep your credits.
3.3 When you pay
Payments are handled by our payment processors (for example Stripe on the web, and store billing partners on mobile). We receive confirmation that a purchase succeeded and store entitlements (credits or subscription status) against your account. We do not store full card numbers on BlurBaby servers.
3.4 Technical and security logs
Our hosting and API providers may process standard request metadata (such as IP address, user agent, and timestamps) for security, reliability, and abuse prevention. These logs are not used to inspect your media.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
We use only what is needed to run the product (for example maintaining a signed-in session). We do not use advertising trackers to follow you across other sites for marketing profiles.
5. How we use information
- Provide and improve the BlurBaby service
- Authenticate you and apply free allowances, credits, or subscriptions
- Process payments and prevent fraud or abuse
- Respond to support requests you send us
- Comply with law where required
6. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with processors that help us run the product (hosting, authentication, payments), under contracts that limit their use to providing those services, or when required by law.
7. Retention
Account and entitlement records are kept while your account is active and as needed for accounting, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Local editor data on your device is under your control. Media you open in BlurBaby is not retained on our servers because it is not uploaded.
8. Security
We use HTTPS for the website and API, restrict access to production secrets, and design the product so media never needs to leave your device. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; please keep your device and email account secure as well.
9. Children
BlurBaby is intended to help adults protect photos and videos of children before sharing. The service is directed at adults. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child in a way that is not allowed, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Your choices
- Use the editor without creating an account
- Sign out or request account deletion
- Clear site data in your browser to remove local preferences
- Manage subscription billing through Stripe or the app store that sold it
11. International users
We may process account and payment-related data in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. If you use BlurBaby from the EU/UK or similar jurisdictions, our legal bases include performing the contract (providing the service you request), legitimate interests (security and product improvement that do not override your rights), and consent where required.
12. Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice when appropriate.
13. Contact
