Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 August 2026

The short version: the Blort app collects no personal data. This page exists to say so properly, and to be straight with you about the two places where a small amount of data does exist — this website, and the contact form.

Who is responsible for your data

Blort is made by Angus Malcolm, an independent developer based in England, United Kingdom. For data protection law, that means Angus Malcolm is the "data controller" for anything described on this page. You can get in touch through the contact form on this website.

The app: what it collects

Nothing. Blort has no accounts, no sign-up, no login, no advertising and no tracking technologies. The developer operates no servers that receive anything from your device.

Where your progress lives

Your learning progress (XP, streak, mistakes, level estimates, road position, settings) is stored only on your device. It is never uploaded. Deleting the app deletes it. If you use device backups such as iCloud or Google backup, your device may include this data in its backup under your own account — that is between you and your backup provider, and the developer has no access to it.

Purchases

Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). The developer receives no payment details and no identity information from these transactions — only an anonymous confirmation inside the app that a purchase is active. Apple's and Google's own privacy policies govern their processing, and they act as independent controllers for it.

Speech (text-to-speech)

Exercise audio is generated by your device's built-in text-to-speech voices. No audio or text is sent to the developer. Depending on your device settings, your operating system may process speech on-device or through its own voice services — that is governed by Apple's or Google's privacy policy, not this one.

Statistics from the app stores

Apple and Google give every developer aggregate, anonymised reports about their own app — things like how many people downloaded it in a country, and anonymised crash reports where the user has agreed to share them with developers. These reports contain no information that identifies you, the developer cannot link them to any individual, and there is nothing to opt into or out of in Blort itself. If you would rather not share crash data at all, you can turn it off in your device settings (on iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements).

This website

Visiting this site is not anonymous in the way the app is, so here is what happens:

• Hosting. The site is hosted by Vercel, which keeps standard server logs including your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. These exist for security and to keep the site running, and are kept only for a short period by Vercel.
• Fonts. The site loads the Fredoka typeface from Google Fonts, which means your IP address is sent to Google in order to fetch it. No cookie is set by this, but if you would prefer to avoid it entirely, a content blocker will stop the request and the site will simply use your device's default font.
• No cookies, no analytics. This site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or advertising scripts.

The contact form

If you message us through the contact form, your name, email address and message are sent to our inbox through our form provider, Web3Forms, who process it on our behalf.

• Why we may do this (legal basis): our legitimate interest in reading and answering messages people choose to send us. You are never required to use the form.
• What we do with it: reply to you. Nothing else. We do not add you to a mailing list, we do not profile you, and we never sell or share your details.
• How long we keep it: messages are kept while the conversation is useful and deleted within 24 months at the latest. You can ask us to delete yours sooner.
• Where it goes: Web3Forms and our email provider may process your message on servers outside the UK and the European Economic Area. Where that happens, the transfer relies on the safeguards those providers have in place, such as standard contractual clauses.

Please don't send sensitive personal information through the form — it is an ordinary email pathway, not a secure channel.

Your rights

Because the app collects nothing, there is usually nothing for us to hold about you. Where we do hold something — realistically only a message you sent us — you have the right to ask us to:

• tell you what we hold and give you a copy of it;
• correct it if it is wrong;
• delete it;
• restrict or object to how we use it;
• send it to you, or another provider, in a portable format.

Ask through the contact form and we will respond within one month. There is no charge. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to a data protection authority: in the UK that is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk), and in the EU it is the supervisory authority in the country where you live.

If you are in California

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We never have. California residents have rights to know, delete and correct personal information, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising them — use the contact form and we will help.

Children

Blort is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, children included, because it collects no data at all. The contact form on this website is intended for adults; if you are under 13 (or under the age of digital consent where you live, which is up to 16 in parts of the EU), please ask a parent or guardian to get in touch on your behalf. If we learn that a child has sent us personal information, we will delete it.

Changes

If a future feature ever changes any of the above — optional cloud sync, for example — this policy will be updated before that feature ships, and the change will be made obvious in the app. The date at the top of this page always shows the current version.

Questions about privacy, or a request about your data: please get in touch through the contact form on this website.
