Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our Flashlight App ("the App"). By accessing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described herein.
-
Information We Collect
We adhere to the "minimum necessary" principle for data collection—we only gather information essential to providing and maintaining the App's core functionality, with no unnecessary personal data collection.
2.1 Non-Personal Information for Basic Operation
To ensure the App runs stably and efficiently, we may collect non-identifiable information (cannot be used to identify you personally) including:
- Device model and operating system version (e.g., Android 14)
- App version number (e.g., v2.1.0)
- Technical logs (e.g., crash reports, load time data) – used solely to fix bugs and optimize performance
This information is processed in an anonymized form and does not contain personal details like your name, email, or location.
2.2 Permissions for Core Features
The App's core flashlight function relies on accessing your device's camera flash hardware. We only request the "Camera" permission (required to activate the flash) – this permission is used exclusively to control the flash, and we do not access or store any camera-captured content (photos, videos) at any time.
No other permissions (e.g., location, contacts, storage) are required to use the App's basic flashlight function. If you choose to use optional features (e.g., brightness adjustment presets), we still do not collect additional personal information.
-
How We Use Your Information
Collected information is used solely for the following purposes, with no secondary use:
- To activate and maintain the flashlight function (via camera flash permission)
- To resolve technical issues (using crash logs and device info)
- To optimize App performance (e.g., adapting to different device models)
We never use your information for advertising, user profiling, or other non-essential purposes.
-
Information Sharing & Disclosure
We will never sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for commercial purposes. Information may only be disclosed in the following limited cases:
- With your explicit, prior consent
- To comply with applicable laws, legal processes, or valid government requests
- To protect the App's security, user safety, or legitimate rights (e.g., preventing fraud)
If we engage third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting to support App stability), they are contractually obligated to protect your information and only use it to perform services on our behalf.
-
Data Storage & Security
- Storage Duration: We retain non-personal operational data (e.g., device model, crash logs) only for as long as needed to maintain App functionality. Once the data is no longer useful (e.g., after fixing a bug), it is immediately deleted or anonymized.
- Security Measures: We implement industry-standard safeguards (e.g., data encryption, access control) to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of collected information. However, no digital storage method is 100% secure—we recommend you keep your device and App updated to enhance security.
-
Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding information related to your use of the App:
- Permission Management: Revoke the "Camera" permission at any time via your device's system settings (note: this will disable the flashlight function).
- Data Access/Deletion: Request access to or deletion of any non-anonymized operational data related to your device by contacting us at mysoft24de@gmail.com. We will respond to valid requests within a reasonable timeframe.
-
Children's Privacy
The App is intended for general users and does not target individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will immediately delete the information and take steps to prevent future occurrences. Parents or guardians with concerns may contact us at mysoft24de@gmail.com.
-
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in legal requirements, App functionality, or our data practices. When updates are made:
- The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised
- Significant changes (e.g., new data collection types) will be notified via an in-App prompt or email (if you provided contact info)
Your continued use of the App after updates means you accept the revised policy.
