Privacy Policy for Flashlight

Effective Date: February 21, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the Flashlight mobile application (the "App") handles your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a safe experience.

Summary: This app does not collect any data, does not use the internet, and contains no external links or ads.

1. Zero Data Collection Policy

The App is built on a "Privacy by Design" principle:

No Personal Information

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email, phone number, or contacts.

No Tracking or Analytics

The App does not track your behavior, usage patterns, or device identifiers. There are no third-party analytics SDKs integrated into the App.

No Internet Access

The App does not request or use the INTERNET permission. This means it is technically impossible for the App to send any data from your device to us or any third party.

2. Permission & Hardware Usage

The App uses specific device permissions solely to provide its core flashlight functionality:

Camera Permission (CAMERA)

Used exclusively to access the camera's flash (LED) hardware.

Foreground Service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA)

Used to keep the flashlight active when you switch to another app or lock your screen. This is a standard requirement for Android 14+ to ensure reliable performance.

Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)

Used solely to show a status notification while the flashlight is active, allowing you to quickly return to the app or turn the light off.

3. Google Play Data Safety Compliance

To assist with the Google Play Data Safety section, we confirm the following:

4. Local Preferences

The App stores your chosen theme preference (Light or Dark) and any local settings locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device and is deleted if you uninstall the App.

5. No External Links or Advertisements

The App does not contain any external links, third-party advertisements, or tracking mechanisms. It is a standalone utility designed for offline use.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Any changes will be reflected by the "Effective Date" at the top of this page.

7. Contact

For any questions regarding this privacy policy, please contact the developer via the email provided on the Google Play Store listing.
