Privacy Policy for Flash Dim
Effective Date: 13 September 2026
App: Flash Dim
Package Name: com.flashdim.app
Flash Dim (“we”, “us”, or “the app”) is an Android flashlight app that lets you dim the LED torch, fill the screen with a colored light, and apply ready-made flash moods. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app uses, what stays on your device, and what may be sent to our service providers.
1. Who This Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to anyone who installs or uses Flash Dim on an Android device.
We do not create user accounts. You do not need to provide a name, email address, or phone number to use the app.
2. Information Processed on Your Device
The following is handled on your device and is not uploaded to our servers:
Flashlight on/off state, brightness level, and selected light color.
The flash mood you select, if any.
Screen brightness changes used only while the flashlight or a mood is on.
A keep-awake setting so the screen does not sleep while the light is on.
Uninstalling the app deletes this locally stored state.
3. What We Do Not Collect
Flash Dim does not:
Require sign-in or create an account.
Collect your name, email address, phone number, or payment details.
Take photos or videos, or access your photo library.
Record audio or access your microphone.
Access your contacts or precise location.
Show third-party advertising in the current version of the app.
4. Camera and Flashlight Use
Android requires the Camera permission to control the LED flashlight. Flash Dim uses this permission only to turn the torch on or off and to set torch brightness.
The app does not:
Open the camera preview.
Capture, save, or upload photos or video.
Use the camera for face, object, or scene recognition.
If you deny Camera permission, the screen light and color features may still work, but the real LED torch may not dim or turn on.
5. Internet and Information Sent Off the Device
An internet connection is required to start and continue using the app so that the app can check connectivity and determine whether an update is required.
We use Google Firebase (Google LLC) for the following services:
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Analytics is used to understand feature usage, such as:
Opening the app, splash screen, dashboard, flashlight screen, moods screen, or settings.
Turning the flashlight on or off.
Setting brightness or light color.
Selecting or stopping a flash mood.
Sharing or rating the app.
Opening this Privacy Policy.
Seeing or opening an update prompt.
Being blocked when the device is offline or an update is required.
Moving the app to the foreground or background.
App events, device/app identifiers used by Google Analytics for Firebase, and coarse usage data may be processed.
Event parameters may include:
Whether the flashlight was turned on or off.
Brightness as a percentage.
A color value.
The selected mood id (for example, night or reading).
App version, build number, and platform.
We do not attach your name, email address, photos, or precise location to these events.
Firebase Crashlytics
Firebase Crashlytics is used to diagnose crashes and errors.
Crash-related information may include:
Crash logs
Device model
Operating system version
App version
Stack traces
Technical breadcrumbs such as the last screen opened
Firebase Cloud Messaging
Firebase Cloud Messaging is used to send notifications, such as updates or alerts.
This may process a device notification token. We do not use this token to identify you by name.
Firebase Remote Config
Firebase Remote Config is used to determine the minimum or latest app version required for a compulsory update.
The app may use Firebase app instance identifiers and download a version string for this purpose.
Firebase Installations
Firebase Installations is required by the Firebase SDKs described above. It may process installation identifiers.
Google may process this data according to Google’s Privacy Policy and applicable Firebase documentation.
External Services
The app may also open the following external services when you choose related features:
This Privacy Policy in a web browser.
Google Play for rating, updating, or sharing the app.
The device’s system share sheet when you choose Share App.
6. Permissions (Android)
Depending on the device and Android version, Flash Dim may use:
Internet — to check connectivity and communicate with Firebase services.
Network state — to detect whether the device is online.
Camera — only to control the LED flashlight, as described above.
Flashlight — to operate the torch.
Notifications — to show alerts sent through Firebase Cloud Messaging.
The app does not request permissions for:
Microphone
Location
Contacts
Storage or photos
7. Children
Flash Dim is not directed at children under 13 years of age, or the equivalent minimum age in your country.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will delete it where we can.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
Information that leaves the device is limited to:
Data sent to Firebase/Google as described in this Privacy Policy.
Information your device sends when you open Google Play.
Information you choose to share through the system share sheet.
9. Data Retention
On-device flashlight settings last until you change them or uninstall the app.
Analytics, crash, notification, and remote-config data are retained by Google according to Firebase and Google Analytics retention settings.
10. Your Choices
You can deny Camera permission in Android Settings. The LED torch may then be unavailable.
You can deny notification permission. The rest of the app will still work.
You can uninstall the app at any time to stop further collection and delete local app data.
You can review Google’s privacy controls for Analytics and advertising identifiers in your device settings.
11. Security
We use Firebase and standard Android security features. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
12. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted at this URL with a new effective date. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the revised Policy.
