BLISTPrivacy Policy
Last updated: October 3, 2026
Blist ("Blist", "we", "us") is a bucket list app for iPhone. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the Blist app and getblist.com, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We don't sell your personal information and we don't show ads.
Information we collect
| What | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | A user ID and, depending on how you sign in, your email address (Sign in with Apple may give us a private relay address) and your first name if you share it. | To create your account and sign you in. |
| Your lists | Lists, items, notes, places you add, target dates, budgets, completion dates, ratings and completion photos you choose to add. | To provide the app and sync it across your devices. |
| Profile and preferences | Home city and its coordinates, the interests you pick, your currency and display name. | To personalise suggestions, estimates and currency. |
| Things you save to Blist | Links you share (for example a TikTok or website link), the text shared with them, text you type to describe a goal, and screenshots or photos you choose to share. For links, our server reads the post's public preview (caption, creator name, thumbnail). | To identify the experience and place and fill in details (see "AI features"). |
| Location | Only if you allow it, your approximate location at that moment, used once to set your home city. For photos you share, location data embedded in the photo may be used to identify the place. | To show experiences near you and identify places. We don't track your location in the background. |
| Usage and diagnostics | Basic technical logs such as request times, errors and the number of AI requests. We may add privacy-friendly product analytics later and will update this policy if we do. | To keep Blist working, secure and affordable to run. |
AI features
When you save a link, type a goal or share a screenshot or photo, we send that content to an AI model to work out the experience, the place and practical details such as typical cost and the best time to go. Requests go through our server to our AI provider, currently OpenAI. We ask the provider not to store request content for its own use, and we don't allow it to be used to train AI models. The provider may keep data for a limited time for abuse monitoring under its API terms.
We keep a record of each import (the link or text, the public preview details and the AI's answer) so the app can show results and so we don't repeat work for the same public link. Screenshots and photos shared only for AI import are deleted from your device once the import finishes and aren't stored on our servers. AI estimates can be wrong; please check details before you travel or book.
Who we share information with
We share information only with service providers that help us run Blist, and only what they need:
- Supabase: database, sign-in and file storage (servers in the United States).
- OpenAI: AI processing as described above.
- Apple: Sign in with Apple, and Apple Maps for place search and maps in the app.
When we add bookable experiences from partners such as tour and ticket providers, booking takes place with the partner. We will update this policy before that launches. We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and Blist.
Shared lists
If you share a list with other people, they can see the items on it, and editors can change them.
How long we keep information
We keep your account and lists for as long as you have an account. When you delete your account, we delete your profile, lists, items and completion photos from our active systems. Some data may remain in backups for a limited period before it is overwritten. Records of AI requests that contain no content (such as timing and cost) may be kept to run the service.
Your choices and rights
- Delete your account in the app: You → Settings → Delete account. This removes your account and data as described above.
- Edit or delete any list or item at any time.
- Location and photos: you can change these permissions anytime in iPhone Settings.
- Access, correction or a copy of your data: email privacy@getblist.com.
Depending on where you live (for example under Canada's PIPEDA, the EU and UK GDPR, or California law), you may have additional rights, including to object to or restrict certain processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We will respond to requests within the time required by law.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit. Access to your data is restricted so that only you, and people you share a list with, can see it. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Children
Blist is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Blist is available worldwide and our service providers process data in the United States and other countries. By using Blist, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than where you live, with safeguards as required by law.
Changes
We will update this policy as Blist grows, for example when booking features launch. If we make important changes, we will tell you in the app or by email before they take effect.
