BlinkSnip is made by Motresku, a one-person business in Belgium. The short version: what you snip, write and say stays on your computer until you put it into a chat yourself, and nothing about how you use the app is collected. Questions go to [email protected].

The BlinkSnip app

• BlinkSnip copies your screen only when you start the highlighter (Alt+S on Windows, ⌥S on a Mac, or its icon). Your shots, notes, marks, images and settings are stored on your own computer. There is no account, no analytics and no tracking.
• When you send a note, you click the chat's text box and BlinkSnip pastes the note and the picture there. To find that box it asks your system's accessibility features which field has the focus and where it is; it does not read what's written in it. What you paste then goes to that chat's service, under that service's own terms.
• Dictation runs on your computer. The microphone is on only while the mic button is lit; the recording is turned into text on your computer, kept in memory meanwhile, and let go once it is text. The speech model is downloaded once from Hugging Face (huggingface.co), which sees your IP address like any download.
• When you drag an image in from a web page, BlinkSnip downloads it from the address it came from, as your browser would. The site that hosts it sees that request.
• The app goes online to activate and check your license. When you activate, it sends your license key and your computer's name to Polar, our payment provider, so the activation shows up in your Polar account and you can tell your computers apart. Like any connection, this also reveals your IP address to Polar.
• Settings can copy a few lines about your system (system version, screen sizes) for a support email. They are only sent if you send that email.
• On Windows, BlinkSnip is installed and updated through the Microsoft Store, which Microsoft runs under its own privacy statement.

Buying a license

Purchases are handled by Polar (polar.sh), which acts as the seller of record and takes care of payment and taxes. Polar processes your name, email address, country and payment details under its own privacy policy. We can see your email address, your order and your license activations, and use them only to provide your license and help you.

Support emails

When you write to support, we use your message and email address only to answer you, and delete them when they're no longer needed.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you, or to correct or delete it, by writing to [email protected]. If you're not happy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be).
