BlinkPlay Privacy Policy

Welcome to BlinkPlay’s Privacy Statement. Your trust in our platform matters greatly to us, and we commit to full transparency regarding how we handle your personal data—our platform delivers a fully free service that lets users discover trending user-submitted videos, watch, share and explore content seamlessly. This statement lays out all categories of data we gather, the rationales behind data collection, how we utilize and distribute your information, alongside all entitlements you hold over your personal data. We adopt plain, accessible wording and limit complex legal terminology to make every clause easy to comprehend.

Scope of Application for This Privacy Statement

This statement governs all web pages, mobile applications and services operated under the BlinkPlay brand (collectively referred to as our “Platform Services”), whose core function is to enable users to find trending user-uploaded videos, view, share and browse content at zero cost. A link to this statement is embedded on every applicable service page. If any standalone service carries its exclusive privacy rules, those exclusive provisions shall prevail over this general statement.

Categories of Data We Gather

To elevate your experience of finding, viewing and sharing trending user-submitted videos, we collect information related to you, your behavioral patterns on our Platform Services, as well as data sourced from external third parties. Detailed breakdowns are listed below:

Data You Voluntarily Submit to Us

While utilizing BlinkPlay, you may opt to share specific personal details with our platform, including the following items:

•                   Account Registration: As the minimum required information, we collect your phone number, email address, gender, date of birth, and your customized preferences for trending video categories or content you wish to browse.
•                   Profile Customization: You may choose to provide extra information such as your video viewing preferences, personal bio, hobbies, photographs, and videos you upload to the platform. To upload media materials (including videos or photos for your profile or published content), you might need to grant our platform permission to access your device’s camera, microphone (required if your uploaded videos contain audio tracks), or local photo and video gallery.
•                   Purchasing Activities: If optional premium functionalities become available in the future or you conduct direct in-platform purchases (excluding transactions processed via third-party storefronts such as iOS App Store or Google Play Store), we will collect payment-related data (e.g., debit or credit card credentials) through our certified payment service providers.
•                   Questionnaires & Campaign Events: Information you submit when taking part in surveys, focus group discussions, competitions or promotional activities tied to our video-focused Platform Services.
•                   Customer Support Communications: Data shared when you reach out to our support team for assistance (for instance, issues with video playback or account login failures).
•                   Third-Party Contact Information: If you input other individuals’ contact details to use functions like friend invitation, we will process such information on your behalf. We also handle your chat records and all content you publish to guarantee stable and secure operation of our Platform Services.

Data Obtained From External Sources

•                   Other Platform Users: Information shared by fellow users, such as feedback reports regarding your uploaded videos or comment sections.
•                   Social Media Platforms: Data we gain access to when you log into BlinkPlay via social media accounts (including Facebook and Google) or import content from platforms like Instagram (e.g., reposting Instagram short videos to BlinkPlay).
•                   Cooperative Partners: Data provided by our collaborative partners that display our advertisements, as well as information about suspected malicious users supplied by external third parties where permitted by applicable laws.

Automatically Collected Digital Information

•                   Usage Behavioral Data: Operation logs documenting your interactions with our video services, covering login timestamps, features you utilize (such as video playback, content sharing, trending content search), your interactions with other users’ uploaded videos (including likes and comment postings), and your engagement with displayed advertisements.
•                   Device Attribute Data: Specific details of your device and installed software, such as your IP address, unique device identifier, app configuration settings, advertising tracking IDs, and cookie recognition markers.
•                   Cookies & Analog Tracking Tools: We deploy these tools to recognize your accessing device and deliver personalized service experiences (for example, storing your customized video preference settings). At present, our platform does not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals, as there exists no unified industry-wide standard governing such signals.
•                   Third-Party Software Development Kits: Integrated tools including Google AdMob, Firebase and third-party attribution tracking SDKs may gather device identification codes and usage behavioral data to support advertising delivery and platform data analytics.

Information Collected Based On Your Explicit Consent

•                   Precise Geographic Location Data: This data will only be collected after you grant explicit authorization, and may continue to be gathered in the background if your device system permits this function. Denying location access authorization may restrict location-linked platform features, such as browsing trending videos created by local creators in your vicinity.
•                   Photo Identity Verification: Facial geometric data (classified as biometric information in certain regions) utilized to confirm user identity, for example to block fake accounts from uploading misleading video content.
•                   Other Uploaded Media Materials: Photographs or video clips you upload for your personal profile or as part of streaming and content sharing functions.

Circumstances Where We Share Your Information

Sharing With Other Platform Users

Your public profile and all content you voluntarily set to public visibility (such as uploaded videos marked “Public” and public comment postings) will be visible to other users in line with your privacy configuration settings. If another user submits a report regarding your published content, we may send follow-up updates about our handling actions (e.g., “We have completed review of the video you reported”) to the reporting user.

Sharing With Service Providers & Cooperative Partners

Third-party vendors supporting platform operation (such as video data hosting providers and payment processing agencies) may receive portions of your personal data. We only share encrypted, unreadable hash data with advertising partners to safeguard your personal privacy. All cooperating vendors are bound by strict confidentiality agreements to protect the security of your information.

Built-In Content Sharing Features

You can utilize our native sharing tools to forward videos or your personal profile to external platforms outside BlinkPlay (for example, sharing a trending video clip to WhatsApp).

Legal Proceedings & Corporate Restructuring Transactions

We may disclose your personal data during formal legal procedures (such as responding to court subpoenas), or during corporate merger, acquisition or bankruptcy proceedings, where such disclosure is mandated by law or forms a necessary component of the corporate transaction.

Sharing Based On Your Explicit Consent

We will obtain your clear, written consent prior to sharing your personal data with external third parties for purposes unrelated to core platform operation (for example, collaborating with brand partners to promote their exclusive video content).

Non-Identifiable Statistical Information

Anonymized or hash-encrypted aggregated data (including device metadata and generalized demographic statistics such as “users who watch music-themed videos”) may be shared for advertising targeting and platform data analytics purposes.

Cross-Border Transmission of Personal Data

Your personal data may be transferred to the United States or other nations with divergent data protection regulatory frameworks. When transferring personal data originating from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we adopt standard contractual clauses approved by official data protection authorities or other legally recognized mechanisms to guarantee consistent protection standards for your personal data.

Your Entitlements & Configurable Choices

In-Platform Account Management Tools

•                   Access & Update Data: Modify your personal profile details (such as adjusting your video preference settings) or use account configuration pages to revise stored personal information.
•                   Manage Device Access Permissions: Revoke or authorize platform access to your device’s contact list, geographic location and camera via your mobile device’s native system settings. Note that disabling certain permissions will limit corresponding platform functions—for instance, camera or gallery access must be enabled to upload video content.
•                   Uninstall Application: Removing the BlinkPlay application from your device will not automatically close your user account; all your stored personal data will remain retained on our platform servers.
•                   Permanent Account Closure: You may submit an account closure request via the platform’s official functions. After closure, your public profile and uploaded videos will no longer be visible to other users, yet we will retain your data in accordance with our official data retention rules.

Statutory Legal Rights

Depending on your residential jurisdiction, you may possess the following legal entitlements:

•                   Access & Data Transparency: Request a full copy of all personal data stored under your account, provided in portable standardized formats (such as a CSV file recording your complete video upload history).

•                   Data Correction: Amend inaccurate information recorded in your personal profile (such as updating your customized video preference tags).

We may require identity verification documentation before fulfilling your data rights requests to prevent fraudulent submissions. Requests that violate applicable laws, prove operationally unfeasible, or would infringe upon other users’ legitimate rights may be rejected. Users residing in Virginia possess the right to submit appeals for rejected data requests. Users located within the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom may file formal complaints with local official data protection regulatory authorities.

Data Retention Timeframes

Our platform retains your personal data only for the duration required to fulfill business operational needs or satisfy statutory legal compliance requirements:

•                   Safety Retention Period: Three months following your account closure, or one year after your account receives a permanent ban. This retention window supports our investigation of potential harmful incidents linked to content you uploaded (such as harmful video materials).
•                   Post-Retention Storage Rules:
  1.                                         Legal Compliance Mandates: Transaction records (retained for 10 years), credit card payment information (stored until all related dispute resolution windows expire), platform activity logs (retained for one year), and all user consent records (stored for five years).
  2.                                         Legitimate Operational Interests: Customer support dialogue records (retained for five years), core account existence metadata (stored for three years post account closure), profile personal data (retained for one year to support potential legal litigation), and data belonging to permanently banned user accounts (stored indefinitely to maintain overall platform community safety).
•                   Ongoing Legal Disputes: All data linked to active legal claims or official regulatory inquiries will remain stored until the relevant dispute reaches full resolution.

Minor User Privacy Protections

BlinkPlay Platform Services are exclusively intended for users aged eighteen and above. We do not intentionally collect any personal data from underage minors. If you discover an account operated by a user under eighteen years old, please submit a report via the in-app reporting tool.

Information Relating to Job Applicants, Contractors and Vendor Representatives

Our platform processes personal information tied to recruitment procedures (such as job application forms), talent administration, and cooperative vendor relationship management. This data covers application materials, professional qualification credentials and work-related personal details. We utilize such information to complete hiring workflows, formalize cooperative agreements and fulfill statutory legal compliance duties, and may share relevant data with affiliated companies and authorized service providers.

Minor Privacy & Safety Provisions

Our application is not designed for children under eighteen years of age, and we never knowingly gather personal identifiable information from minors.

We enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy against all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation, including any sexualized content featuring minor individuals. All platform users may submit reports of policy-violating content directly through in-app reporting channels. Reports involving child sexual material receive priority review, followed by corresponding remedial actions including content removal and account access restrictions.

If we confirm that personal data belonging to a minor has been collected without proper authorization, we will take immediate measures to fully erase such information from our servers.

Where mandated by local laws, we will fully cooperate with relevant government authorities investigating cases involving child sexual abuse materials.
