Blook stores your reading library, notes and statistics on your own device. There is no account, no server-side profile, and no analytics or advertising SDK — nothing about your reading is transmitted to me or to anyone else.
This policy covers the Blook iOS app and its widget extension. It describes what information the app handles, where that information is stored, and the choices available to you.
This website is a separate, static site. It sets no cookies of its own, runs no third-party analytics, and embeds no advertising or social tracking pixels. It may be served through Cloudflare, which processes standard request data such as IP address and user agent in order to deliver content and protect against abuse.
Books you add, reading progress, quotes, notes, reflections, and any tags or lists you create. This is stored locally in the app's private container on your device.
Blook does not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, precise location, advertising identifier (IDFA), or any device identifier that could be used to track you across other apps.
There is no sign-up and no login. Blook contains no third-party analytics framework, no advertising SDK, no crash-reporting service that transmits personal data, and no cross-app tracking.
Because Blook never tracks you, it never presents Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt — there is simply nothing to ask permission for.
Blook may request notification permission so it can send optional reading reminders, and widget access so your progress can appear on the Home Screen. Both are used solely to display your own data back to you.
You can withdraw any permission at any time in iOS Settings. Blook continues to work with reduced functionality — without notifications, for example, your reading reminders simply stop.
Your library is stored in Blook's private app container. Other apps cannot read it, and it is protected by iOS file-level encryption tied to your device passcode.
If you back up your device through iCloud Backup or a computer backup, your Blook data is included in that backup like any other app's data. That backup is created, encrypted and controlled by Apple under your Apple Account — I have no access to it.
Because Blook is local-first, there is no copy of your reading data on any server operated by me. If you delete the app, your data goes with it.
Your reading data is never sold, rented, shared or disclosed to advertisers, data brokers, or any other third party. There is no mechanism in the app to do so, and no data to disclose.
If I were ever compelled by law to disclose information, there is no server-side store of personal data to produce.
Blook is not directed at children, but because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children. It complies with COPPA and the GDPR's children's provisions by design, rather than by policy wording alone.
Everything Blook knows about you is visible inside the app. You can edit or correct any of it at any time.
Deleting the app removes all Blook data from your device. There is no remote copy to request the deletion of, and no retention period to wait out.
Any export features the app offers produce a file you control and store wherever you choose.
Blook is distributed through the App Store and built on Apple frameworks such as SwiftUI, SwiftData and WidgetKit. Apple's own privacy policy governs the App Store, iCloud Backup and iOS itself — those processes sit outside Blook and outside my control.
If a future version of Blook ever collects data it does not collect today — for example, an optional sync feature — this policy will be updated before that version ships, and the change will be described in the app's release notes.
The date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision. Continuing to use Blook after an update means you accept the revised policy.
