Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BlockBlend ("we", "our", "us") operates the website blockblend.app. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.

2. Data We Collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Email address — used for authentication and account recovery.
• Nickname — displayed publicly on your profile and published palettes.
• Avatar — auto-generated from your nickname via DiceBear API.

When you use the Service, we automatically collect:

• Usage data — pages visited, features used, via Google Analytics.
• Device information — browser type, screen resolution, operating system.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To provide and maintain the Service.
• To authenticate your account and manage sessions.
• To display your published palettes and profile to other users.
• To send notifications about activity on your palettes (likes, comments).
• To improve the Service through aggregated analytics.

4. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely on Supabase (hosted on AWS). Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth. We do not store passwords directly — authentication uses industry-standard hashing.

5. Third-Party Services

• Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
• Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics.
• DiceBear — avatar generation (no personal data sent, only nickname seed).
• Vercel — hosting and CDN.

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data.
• Export your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@blockblend.app.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all personal data including palettes, comments, and likes will be permanently removed within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
