Flashlight – Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2025
1. Overview
Flashlight (hereinafter referred to as the “App”) is designed to provide flashlight and basic screen brightness adjustment features.
This policy explains the information the App processes, permissions used, and third-party data-sharing details in accordance with Google Play Console submission requirements.
2. Information Processed
The App does not collect or transmit any personally identifiable information such as the user’s name, email address, or phone number.
The App only stores the following settings in the user’s device via `AsyncStorage`, which are not accessible to the developer nor transmitted externally:
Auto flashlight start preference
Ad display preference (currently enabled by default)
Selected app language
Stored settings remain on the device until the user uninstalls the App or deletes its data via the operating-system settings.
3. Third-Party Advertising and Data Collection
The App uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display banner advertisements.
During ad delivery, Google may automatically collect data such as IP address, advertising ID, app interactions, device information, and—depending on platform settings—approximate location.
This information is used for personalized advertising, ad performance measurement, and fraud prevention.
For details on data collected and how it is used, please refer to:
The developer does not sell or share user data with any third parties other than Google for advertising purposes.
4. Google Play Data Safety Information
Data collected: The developer does not directly collect or store any personal information. However, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect device information (e.g., advertising ID, IP address, in-app events).
Data sharing: Advertising-related data collected by the SDK is sent to Google for ad delivery and measurement. The developer does not share data with third parties other than Google.
Data encryption: The App itself does not use custom encryption protocols because it does not communicate with any server; however, the Google Mobile Ads SDK follows Google’s security standards.
Data deletion mechanism: The App has no server. Data collected by the advertising SDK is managed by Google. Users can adjust personalized ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com/.
5. Permissions Used
Camera permission (`android.permission.CAMERA`): Used solely to control the device’s flashlight (turn on/off). The App does not record or transmit photos or videos.
Screen-brightness permission (may request “modify system settings” on Android): Used to maximize brightness in front-light mode and restore it after exiting the function.
Network permission: Used only to request Google ads and check for updates within the necessary scope.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
The App does not store any data on external servers or cloud services.
Local settings data remain on the device until the user changes the settings or uninstalls the App.
The retention and deletion of data collected by the advertising SDK are managed by Google and subject to the Google Privacy Policy.
7. Security Measures
The App does not collect sensitive personal information, and all user settings remain stored only on the device.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK applies Google’s standard security framework, including encryption and access controls.
8. Protection of Children and Minors
The App is rated 3 years and older on Google Play. It does not collect or transmit personally identifiable information from minors.
Ads are displayed in accordance with Google Mobile Ads policies. Parents or guardians may restrict personalized ads through device OS settings or Google’s ad-settings page.
If personal information from a child under 13 is suspected to have been collected, please contact us at the email below, and we will take appropriate action.
9. User Rights and Choices
Users may limit data collection through their device’s operating-system settings by resetting the advertising ID, limiting personalized ads, or deleting app data.
To disable personalized ads, users can visit Google Ad Settings
or turn off ad personalization in their Android/iOS settings.
10. International Data Transfers
Google Mobile Ads services may operate on servers distributed worldwide. In this process, advertising-related data may be transferred internationally.
Google provides appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in compliance with applicable laws.
11. Policy Updates
This policy may be updated when the service content or related laws change.
Updates will be posted in-app or on the Google Play Store listing with the revision date.
Users will be notified separately in the event of significant changes.
