Welcome to Advanced FlashLight or FlashLight Application. This Application was created and published for educational purposes.
As an avid Android user myself, I take privacy very seriously. I know how irritating it is when apps collect your data without your knowledge.
I hereby state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that I have not programmed this app to collect any personally identifiable information. All data (app preferences or SharedPreferences (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences) are stored on your device only, and can be simply erased by clearing the app's data or uninstalling it.
The list of permissions required by the app which is stored in the App's AndroidManifest.xml file:
Permission
Why it is required
android.permission.INTERNET
This is required for the banner Adds to be able to show an add. https://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/connecting
android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
This is required for the banner Adds to be able to show an add. https://developer.android.com/training/basics/network-ops/connecting
android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS
This is a precaution in order to make sure that the app executes the tasks every time. It will not run all the time in the background nor it will impact the battery life at this point
android.hardware.camera
It uses this feature to access the flashlight feature. It does not take any pictures
If you have any concerns or you find any security vulnerability that has been inadvertently caused by me, or have any question regarding how the app protectes your privacy, please send me an email.
Yours sincerely,
