We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create an account, make a donation, submit a story, or contact support. We also receive certain data automatically when you link a social account via Facebook, Instagram, X, or Google, including your public profile name, email address, profile photo, usernames, and account verification metadata that help us meet platform trust and safety requirements.
We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services, process donations, verify recipient eligibility, prevent fraud, personalize your experience, and communicate with you about platform updates. Social login data is used solely to authenticate your identity, confirm account age, and surface verification badges to donors.
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with payment processors, analytics tools, and anti-fraud partners who process it on our behalf under contractual safeguards. When you use a social login, the respective provider (Meta, X, or Google) processes your authentication and may access information in line with their own privacy policies. We do not post to your social accounts or share donation activity back to those providers.
We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Social access tokens are encrypted and rotated regularly. We retain donation and compliance records only as long as necessary to meet legal and accounting obligations, after which we remove or anonymize personal identifiers.
You can disconnect Blu from Facebook, Instagram, X, or Google at any time through the provider's account settings and by submitting a request through our Data Deletion page. Once verified, we remove stored tokens, unlink the provider, and erase related profile data while preserving only the transaction records we must keep for regulatory reasons.
Blu is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.
To exercise your privacy rights or ask about this policy, email giveablu@gmail.comor submit the form on our Data Deletion page. We respond to requests within seven (7) days, as required by our social login partners.
