Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Information We Collect
We collect the following information to provide and improve the Blogee service:
- Account information: name, email, and password (hashed, never stored in plaintext).
- Blog content: posts, replies, and images you upload to your blog.
- Usage data: page views and API request logs for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- Commenter data: Google profile name, email, and avatar for verified comments via Google OAuth.
How We Use Your Data
- To provide the blogging service (host your blog, serve your content).
- To enforce rate limits and prevent abuse of the platform.
- To send account-related emails (email verification, password reset).
We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
Data Storage & Security
- All data is stored in PostgreSQL with Row-Level Security enabled — every query is scoped to your tenant.
- API keys (such as OpenAI keys) are encrypted at rest and never exposed in plaintext after initial save.
- Uploaded images are stored in tenant-isolated S3 buckets under tenants/<tenantId>/ key prefixes.
- Authentication uses signed JWT session cookies with httpOnly, secure, and sameSite flags.
- All connections to Blogee use HTTPS/TLS encryption.
Third-Party Services
- OpenAI: If you provide an API key, your post content is sent to OpenAI for AI translation, image generation, and metadata generation.
- Google OAuth: Used for commenter identity verification. Your readers' Google profile data (name, email, avatar) is used to display their identity on comments.
- AWS S3: Blog images are stored in Amazon S3 for reliable and fast delivery.
Your Rights
- Access, update, or delete your data at any time via your admin dashboard.
- Export your posts and replies.
- Delete your account and all associated data.
- Request a copy of your personal data by contacting us.
Cookies
- blogee_session — JWT authentication cookie for admin dashboard access (httpOnly, secure, sameSite).
- blogee_visitor_identity — commenter identity cookie, tenant-host-scoped (httpOnly, secure).
- blogee_ui_locale — language preference cookie for the admin dashboard UI.
No tracking cookies. No third-party cookies.
Data Retention
- Account data is retained until you delete your account.
- Rate limit logs are automatically cleaned up periodically.
- Deleted posts and replies are soft-deleted (marked as deleted) and then permanently removed.

Blogee is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.
