# Privacy Policy for FlipBook
Last updated: March 21, 2026
Shiva Acharya built FlipBook as a mobile animation and flipbook creation app. This Privacy Policy explains how FlipBook handles information when you use the app.
## 1. Information We Collect
FlipBook is designed to work primarily on your device.
The app may process the following types of information:
- Project data you create in the app, such as drawings, frames, imported images, animation settings, and exported files.
- Device storage content that you choose to import into the app, such as images selected from your gallery or file picker.
- Advertising-related data collected by third-party ad providers, if ads are enabled in the app.
FlipBook does not require account creation and does not provide cloud sync or user profiles at this time.
## 2. How Information Is Used
FlipBook uses information only to provide app functionality, including:
- creating and saving animation projects locally on your device
- importing images you choose to use in projects
- exporting animations and project files to device storage
- displaying ads and enabling ad-based features, if ads are enabled
- maintaining app preferences and local settings
## 3. Local Storage
Project data is stored locally on your device. This may include:
- project names and metadata
- frame images and thumbnails
- imported assets used in projects
- local preferences such as app settings or ad unlock status
If you uninstall the app, locally stored project data may be removed unless you exported or backed it up separately.
## 4. Ads and Third-Party Services
FlipBook uses Google AdMob to display ads and support certain ad-based features.
Google and its partners may collect or process information such as:
- device identifiers
- IP address
- advertising data
- interaction data related to ads
- diagnostic and performance information
This information is handled by Google under its own policies. Please review:
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
## 5. Permissions
Depending on your use of the app, FlipBook may request access to:
- photos, media, or files so you can import images into projects
- device storage so you can export animations or project archives
FlipBook only accesses files and media when you choose to import, open, or export them.
## 6. Data Sharing
FlipBook does not sell your personal information.
Your data may be shared only in the following limited cases:
- with service providers such as Google AdMob, if ads are enabled
- when required by law or legal process
- when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of users, the app, or the developer
## 7. Children’s Privacy
FlipBook is not directed specifically to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact the developer so the issue can be reviewed.
## 8. Data Retention
Locally saved project data remains on your device until you delete it, uninstall the app, or clear app data.
Third-party services such as Google AdMob may retain data according to their own retention policies.
## 9. Security
FlipBook uses reasonable efforts to handle local data safely. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and security cannot be guaranteed.
## 10. Your Choices
You may:
- delete projects from within the app
- uninstall the app to remove app data stored in its private storage
- avoid importing files you do not want the app to process
- manage advertising settings available on your device or through Google
## 11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Updated versions will be reflected by changing the “Last updated” date above.
