Privacy policy
Effective July 3, 2026 · applies to the miniblogr app and miniblogr.com
The short version: miniblogr collects no personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no trackers. Your writing lives in a database on your phone and publishes to a server you own. We never see it.
What the app stores, and where
- Your posts, pages, and images are stored in a local database on your device. They leave your device only when you publish, and they publish to the server you configured: yours, not ours.
- Your server address and access token are stored in your device's secure storage (Keychain on iOS, Keystore-backed storage on Android).
- Backups are files you export yourself through the system share sheet. They go wherever you send them and never pass through us.
What we collect
Nothing. The app has no sign-up, no user accounts, no advertising, no analytics SDKs, and no crash reporting that leaves your device. We cannot read your posts, your follows, or your server details.
Network connections the app makes
Every connection the app makes is either to infrastructure you chose or is a plain file download with no identifying payload:
- Your own server, to publish your site and to read visitor engagement (views, likes, comments) that your server stores.
- Blogs you follow, fetched by RSS directly from each blog's own address, the same way any feed reader works.
- Registries you add, if you opt in to blog discovery. Listing your blog in a registry publishes the blog URL, title, and tags you submit; that listing is public by design and you can remove it with your manage token.
- Update check: the app periodically downloads a small static version file from miniblogr.com to tell you when your server software is out of date. The request carries no identifiers or content. Like any web request, it is subject to ordinary, short-lived web-server logs.
- Push notifications, if you turn them on: your own server sends comment alerts through Expo's notification service and Apple's or Google's delivery systems. The notification token registered for this travels from your device to your server; we never hold it.
Permissions the app asks for
- Camera: only to scan your server's pairing QR code.
- Photos: only to let you pick images for your posts.
- Notifications: only if you enable comment alerts.
Your blog's visitors
Blogs made with miniblogr are static sites served from the blog owner's server. If a visitor views, likes, or comments on a post, that engagement is stored on the blog owner's server, subject to the blog owner's own practices. It never reaches us.
This website
miniblogr.com is a static page with no analytics and no cookies. The only third-party request is the Geist webfont from Google Fonts.
Children
miniblogr is a general-audience writing tool. It has no accounts and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. Because the app collects nothing, changes are expected to be rare and editorial.
