Under EU law, you have data portability rights which allow you to transfer your data from Blink to authorized third parties.

You can exercise these rights by using the tools described on this page. The tools allow you to view the data you have authorized for transfer and set parameters for how much data you want to share and how long you want to grant access.

Potential risks and consequences

Transferring your data to third parties who you don't know can result in the misuse of your data. To avoid misuse, we recommend only transferring your data to third parties that you trust after reading the privacy notices and policies available on their websites and applications, and understanding their data security practices.

After you've transferred your data to a third party, Blink will no longer have control or legal responsibility over how it might be handled. It is possible that your data may be altered, further transferred, traded, or sold by the third party.

Blink cannot submit data deletion requests to third parties on your behalf. If you wish to exercise your data privacy rights with any third party that has received your data, you'll need to contact them directly.

Transfer data directly

You can transfer data directly to third parties who have integrated with our Application Programming Interface (API) for this purpose. All applicable third parties have a button on their website or in their app, inviting you to share your Blink data with them.

This button will direct you to a secure Blink login page. After logging in, you can view the data types you can transfer. Depending on how much data you’d like to transfer, you can also select different date ranges. You can transfer your data once, or allow the third party to request transfers continuously over a specific time span.

Manage third-party access

After authorizing a third party to receive your data, you can revoke their access to data transfers at any time.

To manage third-party access:

1. From the Blink app, tap Settings.
2. Tap Account and Privacy.
3. Tap Manage Your Data.
4. Tap Manage Third-Party Access.
5. From the Manage Third-Party Access screen, locate the company you'd like to manage, and tap Manage Access.

Here, you can view the third parties that are currently authorized to view and obtain your data, see when their authorisation expires, and revoke third-party access to new data. You won't be able to recover any data you have already transferred.

Download your device data

You can download a copy of your data to share with any third parties of choice. We recommend only sharing this with third parties that you know and trust. 

To download your device data from the Blink App:

1. From the Blink app, tap Settings.
2. Tap Account and Privacy.
3. Tap Manage Your Data.
4. Select Download Device Data.
5. From the Download Device Data screen, tap Submit Request.
6. Tap Confirm Request.

You'll receive a confirmation email to let you know we've obtained your request and when you can expect your data will be ready to download. Once the data is available you'll receive another email with a secure link to a download page.
