Privacy Policy.

Last updated 30 October 2026

blessedby lets you send photos to an expert you choose, who picks the best one. This policy explains what we collect to make that work, what other people can see, and how to get your data deleted.

1. Who we are

blessedby (the app and blessedby.app) is run by Dimitrios Chamarousios, an individual developer based in Annecy, France ("we", "us"). Postal address: 78 allée Primavera, Center Ubidoca, 23730 Pringy, 74370 Annecy, France. We are responsible for the personal data described here (the "data controller").

Questions about privacy: privacy@blessedby.app.

2. What we collect

When you sign up

Sign-in details from Apple or Google: your email address (Apple may give us a private relay address instead) and, if shared, your name.
Your username and, if you add one, a profile photo.
Your date of birth, only to confirm you are 18 or older. We check it at sign-up and do not store it.
Your role: simple user or blesser.

If you are a blesser

Your full name, speciality, categories, profile description and price.
Your earnings and withdrawal requests, and the payout details you give us to pay you: your PayPal email, Wise email or Revolut @revtag, or the details needed for another method we agree on.

When you use blessedby

Requests: the photos you upload (up to 10 per request), your question, the blesser you sent it to, the photo they chose and their answer.
Searches: what you type when you look for a blesser.
Ratings you give and receive.
Reports and blocks you make, and reports made about you.
Purchases: which credit packs you bought and when, and your credit balance. Payment itself is handled by Apple or Google; we never see your card details.

From your device

A push notification token, if you allow notifications.
Basic technical data such as app version, device type and error logs, to keep the app working.

3. How we use it

To run the service: deliver your request to the blesser you chose, show their answer, create your stamp, handle credits, refunds and payouts.
To suggest blessers: when you describe what you want looked at, we turn the text into a list of numbers and compare it with blessers' profiles. This runs on our own backend; your question is not sent to an outside AI service.
To keep blessedby safe: every photo you upload, whether for a request or as your profile photo, is checked automatically by Google Cloud Vision (see below) for nudity, sexual or violent content before it's accepted. A photo that fails the check isn't uploaded. A published stamp uses the request photo that was already checked. When a request or an account is reported, a person from blessedby reviews it and may look at the photos, question and answer involved, only to decide on the report.
To notify you about your requests, if you allow notifications.
To meet legal obligations, such as keeping payment records.
To see how the website is used: our website host counts visits to blessedby.app and blessedby.link pages (the page, where the visit came from, the country, browser and device type). It uses no cookies, and it doesn't build a profile of you or follow you across sites. The app itself has no analytics.

We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.

Under the GDPR, we rely on: our contract with you, to run the service; our legitimate interests, to keep blessedby safe, prevent fraud, fix problems and see how the website is used; our legal obligations, to keep payment and tax records; and your consent, for push notifications, which you can withdraw at any time.

4. What other people can see

Everyone using blessedby can see your username and profile photo.
If you are a blesser, your full name, profile details, price and ratings are public too, including on your profile link blessedby.link/<username>.
Your request photos are private between you and the blesser you sent them to. The one exception: if the request is reported, the person from blessedby who reviews the report can see it.
When you publish a chosen photo, anyone who scans its QR stamp (or opens its link) can see that photo, the blesser's username and the date. Only the one published photo becomes visible, never the rest of the request. You can unpublish it in the app, and the link stops showing it.
Ratings you leave appear on the blesser's profile.

We use these services to run blessedby. They process data on our behalf and only for that purpose.

Our cloud provider: database, file storage, sign-in and backend functions. Everything above is stored here.
Apple and Google: sign-in, and payments through the App Store and Google Play. If you ask them for a refund, we share information about that purchase and its use with them (for example, that the blesser's answer was delivered), to help them decide.
A purchase management service: handles credit purchases with the App Store and Google Play, and keeps the purchase record.
Google Cloud Vision: checks every uploaded photo, request photos and profile photos, for nudity, sexual or violent content. Google processes the photos only to run the check for us.
A push notification service: delivers notifications to your device.
Our website host: hosts this website and counts visits to it, as described above.
PayPal, Wise or Revolut, whichever a blesser chooses, or another provider we agree on: sends blessers their earnings.

You can ask us for the names of these providers at privacy@blessedby.app.

We may also share data if the law requires it, to protect people's safety, or as part of a sale or merger of the business, in which case this policy keeps applying.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete a request, its photos, and its published stamp if it has one, are removed straight away. The rest of it (your question, the answer and the payment record) is hidden from everyone and removed when your account is deleted.

When you delete your account, we remove your profile, your profile photo, every request you sent (including its photos and any published stamp), and everything tied only to your profile. Some records stay, because other people or the law depend on them:

Requests you answered as a blesser stay with the person who sent them. Their stamp keeps the username it was issued with and, if the sender published the photo, stays public until they unpublish it or blessedby closes.
Ratings you left for blessers stay, shown as "Unknown User".
Reports you made about others stay, without your name.
Purchase, earnings and payout records stay for up to 10 years, as French accounting and tax law requires.

Usernames are never reused, so a deleted username is retired for good. See Delete your account for how to do it.

7. Your choices and rights

Edit your profile and remove your profile photo in the app.
Unpublish a published photo at any time.
Turn off notifications in your device settings.
Delete your account in the app, or by email. See Delete your account.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to complain to a data protection authority: in France, the CNIL (cnil.fr). Email privacy@blessedby.app and we will answer within one month.

8. Age

blessedby is for people aged 18 and over. We check your date of birth at sign-up. If we learn that someone under 18 has an account, we delete it.

9. Where your data is stored

Your data is stored by our cloud provider in the United States, and some of the services above may process data in other countries too. If you are in the EU or the UK, this means your data is transferred outside it. For those transfers we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or, for providers certified under it, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

10. Changes and contact

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
