Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 June 2026
Blinkof.ai ("Blinkof", "we", "us") is operated by Dutchcode. This policy explains what we collect when you use blinkof.ai, why, and the choices you have. We try to collect as little as we can to run the service.
Who we are
Blinkof.ai is a testing tool that scans web apps and returns a report. The data controller is Dutchcode. You can reach us about privacy at support@dutchcode.com.
What we collect
- Account information — if you sign in, we receive your name, email address, and avatar from your chosen provider (Google or GitHub). We do not receive your provider password.
- Email address — when you run a free scan, the email you give us so we can send the report. We may keep it to contact you about the service.
- What you scan — the URL you submit and the data we gather from that app to produce your report (see "Apps you submit" below).
- Payment information — if you subscribe or buy credits, payments are processed by Stripe. We receive billing status and a customer reference; we never see or store your full card details.
- Technical data — IP address (for rate-limiting and abuse prevention) and basic request data, plus error and diagnostic data captured by our error-monitoring tool.
How we use it
- To run scans and deliver your reports.
- To create and manage your account, subscription, and credits.
- To send you your report and important service messages.
- To prevent abuse, enforce our Terms, and keep the service secure.
- To improve the product (in aggregate — we don't sell your data).
We rely on your consent (the report email), on the performance of our contract with you (running the scan, billing), and on our legitimate interests (security, product improvement) as legal bases under the GDPR.
Apps you submit
When you ask us to test a URL, we fetch and interact with that app like a real user — loading pages, submitting forms, and (where applicable) creating and deleting a temporary test account. We store the resulting data (e.g. detected issues, screenshots, and signals) so we can show you the report and track changes over time. You must only submit apps you own or are authorised to test (see our Terms).
Cookies
We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We use a privacy-respecting error-monitoring tool to catch crashes; it may set or read limited diagnostic data to do so.
Who we share data with
We use a small number of trusted processors to run Blinkof, each under their own privacy terms:
- Cloudflare — hosting, database, and storage.
- Stripe — payments and subscription billing.
- Resend — sending report and account emails.
- Google / GitHub — sign-in (only if you choose to sign in).
- Sentry — error monitoring.
We don't sell your personal data, and we only share it with these providers as needed to run the service, or where required by law.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and scan data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards, then delete or anonymise it. Free-scan emails and reports are kept to provide the service and may be removed on request. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
Where your data is processed
Our providers operate globally, so your data may be processed outside your country, including outside the EEA, under appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
Your rights
Depending on where you live (e.g. under the GDPR or CCPA), you can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to restrict or object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, email support@dutchcode.com and we'll respond within the time the law requires. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority.
Security
We protect data in transit with HTTPS and limit access to it. No method is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe and to fix issues promptly.
Children
Blinkof is not intended for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We may update this policy as the product evolves. We'll change the "last updated" date above, and for material changes we'll do our best to let you know.
