Blink Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 14, 2026
In short: Blink doesn't collect, send or share your data. It has no accounts, no ads and no analytics. The only thing that goes online is the Microsoft Store checking whether you own Blink Pro. Everything Blink saves stays on your PC.
This policy explains what the Blink app for Windows ("Blink", "we") does with information on your computer.
Information Blink saves on your PC
Blink keeps a few small files in its app data folder on your computer:
- Settings: your choices, such as how often to remind you, dim strength and your schedule.
- Stats: for each day, how many reminders were shown and how many eye breaks were taken or skipped. No other activity is recorded.
- Error log: technical error messages with a timestamp, used only to help fix problems. It is never sent anywhere.
If you turn on "Start with Windows", Blink also registers itself as a startup app with Windows.
Information Blink checks but doesn't save
To decide when to pause reminders, Blink checks the following on your computer while it runs. None of it is saved or sent anywhere:
- How long since you last used the mouse or keyboard, to pause while you're away. Blink doesn't see what you type or click.
- The size and position of open windows, to tell when an app is fullscreen. Blink doesn't read window titles or anything shown in them.
- Whether an app has asked Windows to keep the display on, which usually means a video is playing. Blink doesn't know which app or which video.
- Whether your screen is locked.
Purchases
Blink Pro is sold through the Microsoft Store. When you buy it, and when Blink checks whether Pro is unlocked, Blink asks the Microsoft Store app on your PC, which may contact Microsoft. Microsoft processes the purchase, and Blink only receives whether Pro is unlocked on your account. We don't receive your payment details or any other account information. Microsoft's handling of purchase information is covered by the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
Sharing
Blink doesn't share any information with us or anyone else. Apart from the Microsoft Store license check described above, it doesn't send information off your computer.
Deleting your data
You can reset Blink's settings and stats by uninstalling it. When you uninstall Blink from the Microsoft Store, Windows removes the files it saved.
Children
Blink doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If Blink's handling of information changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change reaches the app.
