Blevo Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

This policy explains what data Blevo collects, why we collect it, and what control you have over it. The short version: we collect only what we need to make leaderboards, challenges, and your account work. We do not sell your data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes.

Who runs Blevo

Blevo is operated by {{LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME}} (the "operator"). If you have a privacy question or want to exercise any of the rights below, email privacy@blevo.app.

What we collect

When you sign up and use Blevo, we collect the following:

Account identifiers — a handle, a display name, and (if you choose Sign in with Apple) an email address relay or your real email if you opt to share it. We use these to identify your account and let other users find you.
Step counts and fitness data — daily totals from Apple HealthKit that you authorize Blevo to read. We never receive your raw per-minute samples. We only see what you ask the app to send when you sync.
Content you create — posts, comments, story bodies, direct messages, squad names, and challenge titles. We store these on our servers so other users can see them as you intend.
Device + technical metadata — your iOS version, app version, time zone, and approximate session timing. We use this to fix bugs and understand which features get used.
GPS route — only while you are actively recording a run, walk, or ride. Tracking continues in the background (locked screen or other apps) until you finish the session, so your full route, distance, and pace are captured; iOS shows a blue indicator the whole time. We store the route so you can view your map and stats. We never track your location outside a session you started.
Shared location — if you tap "Share location" in a club chat, your current location at that moment is posted to that club and is visible on a map to the other members of that club. This is a one-time action you take explicitly; we do not track or share your location in the background.

We do not collect:

Your location outside of an active run/walk/ride session — except the one-time location you choose to share into a club chat (see above).
Your contacts, photos, or files.
Browsing history or activity in other apps.
Advertising identifiers (IDFA).
Payment-card numbers — purchases go through Apple's IAP, we only see receipt confirmations.

How we use it

To run the social features you signed up for: showing your steps to other users in challenges and squads you've joined, sending the messages you write, and surfacing your stories to the people you chose to share them with.
To keep the service working: prevent abuse, throttle bad actors, detect crashes, and improve performance.
To send you notifications you've opted into (streak reminders, challenge updates, direct messages).

Who can see your data

Other Blevo users see your handle, name, avatar, your post and story content, and your step totals inside any challenge or squad you've joined. They do not see your email.
Our infrastructure providers (the hosting service that runs our servers, and the third-party services listed below) process data on our behalf under contracts that bind them to use it only for the service we hired them for.
No one else. We do not sell your data to anyone, ever. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to train AI models.

Third-party services we use

Apple HealthKit — reads step data from your phone only with your explicit permission. Subject to Apple's privacy policy.
Sentry (crash reporting) — receives anonymized crash stack traces and your user ID when an error happens. No message bodies, no health data.
PostHog (product analytics) — receives anonymized event names like "challenge_joined" or "story_posted" tied to your user ID, so we can see which features get used. You can opt out in Settings → Privacy.
Stripe / Cashfree (payment processing) — only invoked when you purchase coins. They see the transaction; we see a confirmation.

Your rights

Access — email privacy@blevo.app and we'll send you everything we have on file within 30 days.
Delete — tap Settings → Account → Delete Account. Your data enters a 7-day grace period and is then permanently erased. If you sign back in during the grace period the deletion is cancelled automatically. (Required by App Store guideline 5.1.1(v).)
Correct — change your handle, display name, and avatar inside the app any time. For anything else, email us.
Opt out of analytics — Settings → Privacy → Product analytics → off. This stops PostHog event collection immediately.
Withdraw HealthKit access — iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Blevo → revoke. The app stops syncing immediately.

How long we keep it

Account data — for as long as your account is active.
Step buckets — indefinitely while your account is active; deleted with your account.
Messages and posts — until you delete them or delete your account.
Server logs — 30 days, then aggregated and truncated.
Crash reports — 90 days at Sentry, then auto-purged.

Children

Blevo is rated 4+ but is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from users we identify as under 13. If you believe we've collected data from a child, email privacy@blevo.app and we'll delete it within 7 days.

International transfers

Our servers run in {{HOSTING_REGION}}. If you use Blevo from outside that region, your data crosses borders to reach us. By using the app you consent to this transfer. For users in the EU/UK we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with our infrastructure providers.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify you in-app before they take effect.
