Privacy Policy — Blask

Last updated: July 11, 2026

1. Data Controller

Heksametrica Kamil Góra
ul. Wiatrakowa 11a, 42-240 Kościelec, Poland
Tax ID (NIP): 9492201417
Data protection contact: support@blask.io

2. What Data We Collect

Blask operates in two modes — for owners of a solar PV installation ("Blask Solar") and for owners of an electric vehicle or home energy storage ("Blask Charge"). Depending on the mode you use, we collect:

Account data (all users):

  • Email address (registration and login via Firebase Authentication)
  • Password (stored encrypted by Firebase Authentication — Blask never has access to your plaintext password)
  • Push notification device token (Expo Push Token), if notifications are enabled
  • Notification preferences (on/off, preferred hour)
  • Date and record of your acceptance of the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy

PV installation data (Blask Solar mode):

  • Installation location — latitude/longitude entered manually by you (we do not collect background GPS data)
  • Installation size (kWp), panel tilt angle and azimuth
  • Settlement type (hourly RCE / monthly RCEm / net-metering)

Charging profile data (Blask Charge mode):

  • Vehicle/storage label (e.g. car model or a custom name)
  • Battery capacity (kWh), charger power (kW)
  • Default charge target (%), default ready-by time, selected optimization mode
  • Last known state of charge (SoC), entered manually by you — Blask does not connect to your vehicle or charger

Automatically calculated data:

  • PV production forecasts and charging window recommendations — generated from the data above, energy prices (PSE), and weather/satellite data (Open-Meteo)
  • Forecast accuracy history per location (aggregated data, contains no personal information beyond the link to your installation)

What we do NOT collect:

  • We do not collect precise background device location (GPS) — installation location is entered manually
  • We have no access to your bank account, payment data, or actual meter consumption
  • We do not sell your data or use it for targeted advertising

3. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing

PurposeLegal basis (GDPR)
Providing the service (forecasts, recommendations, notifications)Art. 6(1)(b) — performance of a contract
Sending push notificationsArt. 6(1)(a) — consent (you may disable at any time)
Improving forecast quality (Forecast Quality Engine)Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest (improving the service for all users at a given location)
Handling account deletion requests, audit loggingArt. 6(1)(c) — legal obligation / accountability

Legitimate Interest Assessment (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): we have carried out a Legitimate Interest Assessment to verify that processing aggregated production data to improve forecast quality (the Forecast Quality Engine) does not unduly override your rights and freedoms. In particular:
– we use only aggregated per-location data and do not disclose individual user profiles to third parties,
– this processing is not used for marketing profiling and does not result in decisions producing legal effects for you,
– you may object to this processing at any time by contacting support@blask.io; if you do, your installation will be excluded from the forecast-calibration aggregate without affecting your access to other app features.

4. Who We Share Data With

We do not sell data. We use the following processors, solely to deliver the service:

PartyRoleData location
Google Firebase (Authentication + Firestore)Authentication, databaseEU (Firestore Europe region)
Render.comBackend hostingFrankfurt, Germany (EU)
Expo (Expo Push API)Push notification deliveryper Expo's policy
forecast.solar / Open-MeteoWeather/satellite forecast providers — receive only location, tilt and installation size, never data that identifies youper providers' policies
PSE (Polish Power Grid)Public energy market price data — Blask fetches price data from PSE; no user data is ever sent to PSEPoland

Transfers outside the European Economic Area (EEA): some providers (in particular Expo, Inc., a US company operating the Expo Push API) may process data outside the EEA. Where this happens, data transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, combined with appropriate technical and organisational safeguards on the providers' side (including encrypted transmission and limiting the data to the device push token and metadata strictly necessary to deliver notifications). Firebase (Google) and Render.com process data in the EU region (Firestore Europe, Render Frankfurt). forecast.solar and Open-Meteo receive only installation parameters (location, tilt, size) — never user-identifying data — so even where their infrastructure sits outside the EEA, we do not transfer personal data within the meaning of GDPR to them.

5. How Long We Keep Data

Account and installation data is kept for as long as you use the app. Historical production data (pv_actuals) is kept for a maximum of 90 days. After account deletion, we retain a minimal deletion audit record (user ID, email address, request date) for as long as legally required for accountability purposes only — no other profile data is retained.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:

  • access your data,
  • rectify your data,
  • delete your account and all associated data — you can do this yourself in the app (Settings → Delete Account) or by contacting us,
  • restrict processing,
  • data portability,
  • object to processing,
  • lodge a complaint with the Polish data protection authority (UODO) or your local supervisory authority.

Deleting your account in the app triggers deletion of: your profile, installations, production history, forecast accuracy data, and charging profile. This process is irreversible.

Handling your requests: we respond to requests regarding the above rights within 30 days of receipt; in justified cases this period may be extended by a further 60 days, and we will inform you of the reason for any extension. Requests can be submitted to support@blask.io.

7. Children

Blask is not directed at individuals under the age of 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

8. Changes to This Policy

We will notify you in the app of material changes to this policy. The "last updated" date at the top of this document reflects the latest version.
