Effective Date: May 9, 2026
Blinking Notes is built on the principle that your personal journal belongs to you. All your notes, moods, habits, and reflections stay on your device by default.
Nothing. Blinking Notes does not require an account, does not collect your name, email, or any personal information. There is no sign-in, no registration, no analytics SDKs, no advertising.
All your journal entries, mood logs, habits, tags, and settings are stored locally on your device using SQLite and SharedPreferences. We have no access to this data.
The AI Assistant is available during your trial or with a Pro subscription. When you use it, your journal context and prompt are transmitted to a third-party AI provider (OpenRouter) through Blinking's managed service. Blinking uses a privacy-preserving architecture: your device assembles the prompt, obtains an anonymous authorization token from Blinking, and communicates with the AI provider directly. No journal content is permanently stored on Blinking's servers.
Photos and images you attach to entries are stored locally in your device's app documents directory. They are never uploaded to any server.
You may choose to share individual entries to Chorus (blinkingchorus.com). This is entirely opt-in, per-entry. Shared content is subject to Chorus's own terms.
You can create ZIP backups and export your data as JSON or CSV. These exports contain your entries, tags, and routines. You control where these files are stored.
Blinking Notes is rated 4+. It does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.
This policy may be updated. Changes will be reflected in the app.
