"AI Companions chat: When you use the AI Companions feature, we collect your typed messages and display name. This data is stored on our servers and transmitted to Google Cloud (Vertex AI) for processing. Your conversation history is stored on Blidz servers to enable continuity and personalization of your Companion interactions."
While Google states it won't use the data to train its general models, Blidz itself stores all conversation history on its servers for 'personalization,' and the policy does not explicitly prohibit Blidz from using this data for its own AI/ML training purposes.
"Amplitude โ Device ID, user ID, usage events, IP address โ for product analytics. Google Analytics โ Device ID, usage events, IP address โ for web and app analytics. AppsFlyer โ Device ID, advertising ID, install data, IP address โ for marketing attribution and campaign measurement."
User data including device IDs, IP addresses, and usage events are shared with multiple third-party analytics and attribution services that collect data directly from the user's device via embedded SDKs.
"Device identifiers (device ID, and advertising ID only if you have granted consent via your device's tracking permission prompt, such as Apple's App Tracking Transparency). AppsFlyer โ Device ID, advertising ID, install data, IP address โ for marketing attribution and campaign measurement."
The app collects device IDs and advertising IDs and shares them with attribution providers like AppsFlyer, enabling cross-service tracking and linking user activity across apps and campaigns.
"We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. If we make material changes, we will: Update the "Effective Date" and "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy, Notify registered users via email, Post a notice within the App. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes."
While Blidz does notify users of material changes, continued use is treated as acceptance of new terms, meaning users implicitly agree to changes they may not have reviewed.
"Transaction and order records: 7 years from transaction date (for tax, legal, and dispute resolution purposes). Payout records: 7 years from payout date (tax and regulatory compliance). Upon account deletion, we will delete or de-identify your personal information within the timeframes described in Section 8, except where retention is required by law (e.g., tax records, fraud investigations, ongoing legal proceedings)."
Transaction and payout data are retained for 7 years, and certain data survives account deletion for legal and regulatory reasons, meaning full erasure is not guaranteed.

Blidz automatically collects approximate geolocation from IP addresses and uses billing addresses for geo-targeting, enabling passive location tracking without explicit user consent.

Users who delete their accounts permanently lose all earned monetary balances, rewards, and points with no option to withdraw first, creating a financial disincentive to exercise deletion rights.
