Privacy Policy
How BlendIn collects, uses, stores, and protects your information, with a bias toward collecting as little as possible.
This Privacy Policy explains how BlendIn ("BlendIn", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our website https://blendin.ai and our application https://app.blendin.ai (collectively, the "Service").
BlendIn is a commercial brand of FUENTES DIGITAL VENTURES LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (Filing ID 2024-001561254). By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide directly
- Account information. Your name, email address, password (hashed), and any profile details you add in Settings.
- Brand kit data. Logos, brand colors, fonts, tone of voice, target audience, and any reference material you upload (PDFs, screenshots, URLs).
- Content you create. Topics, drafts, captions, generated images, scheduled posts, analytics annotations.
- Billing information. Plan tier, billing address, and payment metadata. Card numbers are handled exclusively by Stripe and never touch our servers.
- Support correspondence. Anything you write to us at support@blendin.ai.
1.2 Information collected automatically
- Authentication metadata. Login timestamps, IP address (used for security and abuse detection), browser user agent, and the authentication provider you used.
- Usage data. Pages viewed in the app, features used, generation counts, and error logs (stored to debug issues and enforce plan limits).
- Anti-abuse signals. Because the Free plan does not require a credit card, we use a device fingerprint, an optional phone verification token (SMS OTP), and rate-limit signals to prevent the creation of multiple Free accounts by the same person. This information is used solely to enforce our one-Free-account-per-person rule and to block automated abuse. It is not shared with advertisers.
- Cookies and local storage. We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
1.3 Information from third-party sign-in providers
When you sign in with Google, LinkedIn, or Facebook, we receive a limited set of profile fields to create or identify your BlendIn account.
From Google (sign-in only). Your email address, full name, profile picture URL, and Google account ID. We request only the standard openid, email, and profile OAuth scopes. We do not access Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service. Google user data received via these scopes is used solely to create and authenticate your BlendIn account, prefill your name and avatar, and personalize the app interface.
From LinkedIn.Your LinkedIn profile information (name, headline, profile picture, member URN), your email address, and (only if you grant the corresponding scope) the list of company pages you administer. We use this information to (a) authenticate you, (b) display the right "personal" and "company" profile selectors in the app, and (c) publish posts on your behalf when you explicitly choose to publish. We never post to LinkedIn without an explicit publish action from you. We do not read your LinkedIn feed, your messages, your connections, or any other LinkedIn data we are not authorized to access.
From Facebook (sign-in only). Your email address, full name, profile picture URL, and Facebook account ID. We request only the standard email and public_profile permissions. We do not access your Facebook friends list, posts, photos, or any other Facebook data beyond what is needed to create your BlendIn account.
1.4 Information from connected social platforms
When you connect Instagram or Facebook to publish content, we receive additional data:
From Instagram (publishing). Your Instagram Business or Creator account ID, username, profile picture, and the list of media you publish through BlendIn. We use this information to (a) display your connected Instagram account in the app, (b) publish feed images and carousels on your behalf when you explicitly choose to publish, and (c) track which content was published. We never access your Instagram DMs, stories, followers list, or insights beyond what is needed to publish content.
From Facebook Pages (publishing). Your Facebook Page ID, name, and access token. We use this to publish image and text posts to your Facebook Page when you explicitly choose to publish. We never access your personal Facebook profile, friends list, groups, or any data from the Page beyond what is required for publishing.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above only to:
- Provide the Service: create your account, authenticate you, generate content, render carousels, schedule and publish posts, process payments, and serve the app interface.
- Improve the Service: debug errors, monitor performance, prevent abuse, and develop new features. We may use aggregated, de-identified usage statistics for product analytics.
- Communicate with you: send transactional emails (welcome, password reset, billing, win-back, security notices) and respond to support requests. We do not send marketing emails without your explicit consent.
- Enforce our Terms and protect the Service against fraud, abuse, and security threats.
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from authorities.
Data Retention
- Account data is retained while your account is active and for up to 30 days after you delete your account, after which it is permanently removed from our production systems. Encrypted backups may persist for up to an additional 30 days before being overwritten.
- Content and brand kits are retained while your account is active and deleted on the same schedule above.
- OAuth tokens (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Threads) are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and deleted immediately when you disconnect the respective platform from Settings, or when your account is deleted.
- Billing records are retained for the period required by tax and accounting laws in our jurisdiction (typically 7 years).
- Server logs containing IP addresses and request metadata are retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes.
Account Deletion and Data Export
You can request deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time by emailing support@blendin.ai from the email address registered to your account. We will:
- Confirm the request within 3 business days.
- Disconnect any third-party integrations (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, etc.) from your account.
- Permanently delete your account and content from production systems within 30 days of the request.
- Confirm completion in writing.
You can also export your data on request. We will deliver a machine-readable archive of your account, content, and brand kit within 30 days.
Security
We take security seriously. We:
- Encrypt OAuth tokens (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Google) at rest with AES-256-GCM and transmit all data over TLS 1.2+.
- Hash passwords with industry-standard algorithms managed by our authentication provider.
- Use Row-Level Security in our database so each user can only access their own rows.
- Apply per-user rate limits on expensive endpoints to prevent abuse.
- Regularly audit our codebase for common vulnerabilities (IDOR, SSRF, XSS, CSRF, open redirect).
- Restrict access to production systems to authorized personnel.
No system is perfectly secure, but we make a continuous, good-faith effort to protect your information. If you believe you've found a security vulnerability, please contact support@blendin.ai with the details.
International Data Transfers
BlendIn operates globally and uses processors located in multiple jurisdictions, primarily the United States and the European Union. By using the Service you acknowledge that your data may be processed and stored in countries outside your country of residence. Where required by law (e.g., GDPR), our processors operate under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
