Egor Nevejkin built the BlinkiWinki app. This SERVICE is provided by Egor Nevejkin at no cost and is intended for use as is.
BlinkiWinki is a real-time video game rated 16+. It connects two players over a live video call so they can compete in a staring contest. This policy explains what data the app handles and how.
This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decides to use my Service.
If you choose to use my Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is accessible at BlinkiWinki, unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.
BlinkiWinki is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age. Because the app connects users with strangers over live video, it carries an 16+ age rating. I do not knowingly allow anyone under 16 to register or use the Service. If I become aware that a user is under 16, I will take reasonable steps to remove their account and associated data.
When you play a match, your front camera feed is streamed live, peer-to-peer (via WebRTC), to the other player, the same way any video call works. This video is not recorded or stored on my servers.
Blink detection runs entirely on your device using on-device machine learning. Face and eye position data is not sent to my servers.
At the moment you or your opponent blinks, the app captures a single still photo from the video feed. This photo is shown to both players at the end of the match and is stored locally on your device. It is not uploaded to my servers as part of normal gameplay.
Matches are coordinated through a signaling server, which connects two players and passes WebRTC connection information between them. This includes your randomly generated user ID and the nickname, age, and gender you provide.
If another player behaves inappropriately, you can use the Contact Support option shown on the match result screen. This includes the reported user's ID and nickname so I can investigate. I review reports and may suspend or ban accounts that violate the Terms and Conditions. If you wish to block a specific user from being matched with you again, contact me at the email below.
For a better experience while using the Service, I collect the following information, stored on my servers and associated with your device-generated user ID: nickname, age and gender, and gameplay results (wins and losses, for the leaderboard).
I do not collect or store your camera video or captured photos on my servers as part of normal gameplay. These stay on your device and are only transmitted live, peer-to-peer, to your matched opponent during a game.
The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you.
Link to privacy policy of third party service providers used by the app:
If you are shown ads in the app, this is done through AppLovin MAX. On iOS, the app will ask for your permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt before using your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) for personalized ads. You can decline this at any time; ads may still be shown but will be less personalized. Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland will also see a consent (GDPR) prompt before any personalized advertising is enabled.
I want to inform you that whenever you use my Service, in a case of an error in the app I collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing my Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.
Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.
This Service does not use these "cookies" explicitly. However, the app may use third party code and libraries, such as AppLovin, that use similar technologies to collect information and improve their services, subject to the consent described above.
I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:
I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.
I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by me. Therefore, I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Your account data (user ID, nickname, age, gender, match history) is retained as long as your account exists. To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact me at the email below.
I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
