Effective November 9, 2026
Flicklight is a flashlight app for Android. It has no accounts, no ads and no analytics, and the app does not have Android's internet permission. We do not receive any information about you or how you use the app.
Flicklight reads your phone's motion sensors (accelerometer and, for one gesture option, gyroscope) to notice the gesture that turns the light on. It also takes brief readings from the proximity and light sensors so the light doesn't turn on in your pocket. These readings are processed on your phone. They are not saved or sent anywhere.
Your settings and the battery use estimate are stored only on your phone, and are removed when you uninstall the app.
Purchases and tips. Purchases are processed by Google Play. Flicklight only learns whether a purchase went through. We never see your payment details.
Free trial record. So that reinstalling doesn't restart the free trial, Flicklight stores two values using Block Store, a feature of Google Play services: the date your trial started and how many times you've used the gesture. Google may back up these values to your Google account so they carry over to a new phone. They don't include your name, email or any other personal details, and they are not sent to us.
Google's handling of this information is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
Flicklight doesn't use your microphone, location, contacts, photos or files. It controls the camera flash only, and never takes pictures or video.
Flicklight is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
