Privacy Policy

Updated October 14, 2026

Blankmind helps you protect time away from distracting apps and understand your rest. This policy covers the iPhone app, Blankmind AI conversations and the Blankmind website. Features and data flows differ between the published app and the upcoming version.

Account and conversations

The upcoming app uses Sign in with Apple. Account identifiers and the email address Apple provides, including a private relay address when chosen, support authentication and account management. Authentication tokens are stored in the iPhone Keychain.

Messages you choose to send to Blankmind, assistant replies, conversation history, facts you share, requested actions and their outcomes may be stored in our backend and used to provide personalised support. Do not include information you do not want processed. These are messages sent to Blankmind; the app does not read messages from other apps.

Screen Time and local data

The exact apps, categories and websites you select in Apple's Screen Time picker remain on your device. Blankmind stores settings, schedules, protection state and session history to operate app blocking. The backend may receive selection counts, permission and device-readiness status, protection timing, completed sessions, interruption events, app version and installation identifiers. Blankmind does not read screen contents, passwords, contacts, notification contents or browsing history.

Apple Health and rest

Apple controls access to Health data. You choose the data types to share and may change access in iPhone Settings or Apple Health. A successful permission prompt does not tell Blankmind whether you allowed every read permission; absent records are treated as unavailable, not as zero.

Progress reads supported Health types on your device, including sleep, physical signals, activity and other available health context. Viewing Progress does not grant permission to share them. In the measured-rest release, a separate optional choice in Automatic protection allows additional Health summaries and clinical context to be sent to our backend and OpenAI. Original clinical documents remain in Apple Health.

With AI-sharing permission, dated sleep episodes, duration and stage totals, source and coverage, protection execution and optional morning ratings can be stored by account for the assistant and measured rest experiments. Additional Health context requires its separate choice. Phone-use access is separately connected using supported Apple APIs on eligible EU devices/accounts; only usage totals and pickups for dated bins are synchronized, without application/domain identifiers. Missing access is not recorded as zero use. Summaries remain health data. We do not upload original clinical documents or the exact Screen Time selection and do not write to Apple Health. Optional global learning pools aggregate measured experiment outcomes after at least 20 other consenting users contribute to a metric; conversations, Health records and phone-use histories are not pooled. Withdrawal stops future automatic actions and clears the synchronized rest context and experiment evidence.

The upcoming app will offer basic blocking and unlocking without measured sleep data. Personalised rest features use available sleep records. An explicit Sample sleep option lets you explore those features using labelled fictional nights, without writing to Apple Health or treating examples as measured results. Blankmind is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.

AI and voice providers

OpenAI processes conversation text and selected context to generate replies and perform bounded factual classification. In the upcoming release, ElevenLabs generates spoken replies from the completed response text. That text can contain personal facts or sleep summaries referenced in the reply. ElevenLabs receives the response text, not raw Health samples, clinical documents, exact Screen Time selections or microphone recordings. Earlier voice implementations may use OpenAI for speech and alignment. When you record a message with the app microphone, the recording is sent through our backend to OpenAI for transcription. The resulting text is used as your message. The app does not send that microphone recording to ElevenLabs. Generated spoken replies are a separate text-to-speech flow. Spoken replies are AI-generated.

Permission to read Apple Health is separate from permission to share personal context with third-party AI. The upcoming release asks for explicit, account-specific permission to share with OpenAI and ElevenLabs before enabling those AI features. Adding ElevenLabs requires renewed permission; an earlier OpenAI-only choice does not authorize the new provider. You can withdraw that permission in Control. Declining or withdrawing leaves basic blocking available. This policy does not replace that in-app choice.

Blankmind streams generated voice audio for playback and does not store an audio recording of the reply. Content-free usage records can retain account and turn identifiers, request counts and timestamps to enforce voice limits and prevent replay. Provider processing is governed by the applicable provider privacy terms; this policy does not promise unverified provider retention periods.

Product analytics

Product events may include onboarding progress, permission status, activation, block and unlock outcomes, app version, locale and an app-generated analytics identifier. Website events, when enabled, may include page views, App Store clicks, referral source and campaign context. We use these to understand operation and improve the product. Personal health data is not used for advertising or sold to advertisers.

Infrastructure and sharing

Apple provides authentication, Health, Screen Time and App Store billing. Supabase and Netlify support authentication, database and backend hosting. OpenAI provides AI processing; ElevenLabs provides speech generation for the upcoming release. The website is hosted through OpenAI Sites. Providers process the data needed to deliver their services; processing may occur outside your country. Blankmind does not sell personal information or share it with third-party advertisers.

Pricing and existing subscriptions

The new app is free during its initial phase. Existing subscriptions from earlier versions remain managed by Apple. Making the new version free does not automatically cancel an existing subscription. You can review or cancel it in Apple Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Apple handles payment methods, billing, renewals and refunds; Blankmind does not receive payment card details.

Earlier versions and Early Access

Earlier app versions may send onboarding answers and aggregated wellness features after their plan-personalisation step and support purchases and anonymous referral IDs. Early Access messaging may store a verified phone number, consent, messages, voice-note transcripts and facts explicitly shared. These messaging services are separate from reading other apps' messages or contacts.

Your controls

You can change Health and Screen Time permissions in iPhone Settings, manage your account in Control, and use the app's account-deletion option. You may also contact us to request access, correction, export or deletion of your information. Deleting an account does not cancel an Apple subscription; manage subscriptions separately with Apple.

Account history and personal context are retained to provide continuity until removed through account controls or a deletion request. Some infrastructure logs, backups and records required for security or legal purposes may have separate retention. Contact us for the applicable details or a privacy request; we do not promise a deletion deadline that has not been verified.
