Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2026

Blurt ("the App") is developed and operated by Sandeep Mysore. This policy explains exactly what data the app handles and why. It is written to be precise rather than reassuring: where data leaves your device, we say so.

What stays on your device

• Your voice recordings. Blurt itself never receives, stores, or transmits your audio files.
• All memos, task lists, tags, and preferences. Stored in local app storage only. There is no account, no cloud sync.

Speech transcription

When you record a memo, Blurt uses your device's built-in speech recognition service to turn your voice into text:

• iOS: Apple's Speech framework. Depending on your device and iOS settings, transcription may happen on-device or briefly involve Apple's servers. Apple's handling is governed by Apple's privacy policy.
• Android: the Android system speech recognizer (typically Google Speech Services). Your audio is briefly sent to Google to be transcribed. Google's handling is governed by Google's privacy policy.

Blurt receives only the resulting text transcript.

Task extraction

The text transcript is sent over HTTPS to Blurt's extraction service (a Cloud Run endpoint) to identify tasks, dates, and people. The extraction service calls Google's Gemini API and discards the transcript after returning structured tasks — nothing is retained.

Analytics and advertising

Blurt does not run analytics, does not show ads, and does not integrate any third-party advertising SDKs.

In-app purchase

Blurt Pro is a one-time unlock processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). Blurt does not receive, store, or have access to your payment details.

Third-party services

• Apple Speech framework (iOS) or Android SpeechRecognizer (Android) — transcription of your voice
• Google Cloud Run + Gemini API — task extraction from the text transcript
• Apple App Store / Google Play — payment processing

Data retention and deletion

All your memos and tasks live only on your device. To delete everything: open Blurt, go to Settings, and tap "Delete all data" (confirms once). Uninstalling the app also removes all local data.

For questions about data that may have been processed by our extraction service, contact us below.

Children

Blurt is not directed at users under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

We'll update this page if our practices change, with an updated revision date at the top.
