Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 1, 2026

Welcome to Screen Flashlight ("SCR Flash", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Android application.

1. Information We Collect

Screen Flashlight does not require user registration, and we do not directly collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location.

Local App Preferences

To provide a seamless experience, the app stores minimal preference settings locally on your device (using Android SharedPreferences). These preferences include:

• Auto-Off Timer settings
• Selected screen brightness and light color
• Dismissal flags for first-time guide and warning dialogs

This data remains strictly on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

2. Device Permissions Used

Screen Flashlight requests specific Android system permissions strictly necessary for app functionality:

• Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA): Required solely to toggle and control the rear camera LED flash torch mode. The app does not capture, record, store, or transmit any photos or video frames.
• Keep Screen Awake (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK): Keeps your display illuminated while the screen flashlight feature is active.
• Internet & Network Access (android.permission.INTERNET): Used to load advertisements via Google AdMob and check for app updates via Google Play Services.

3. Third-Party Services & Advertisements

Our app incorporates third-party services that may collect non-personally identifiable information (such as device identifiers, IP addresses, and app performance diagnostics) to serve ads and facilitate app updates:

• Google AdMob: Used for serving advertisements. AdMob may collect device advertising IDs (GAID), IP address, and usage statistics to display personalized or non-personalized ads in compliance with Google Play Policies.

• Google Play In-App Updates: Used to notify users when a new app version is available.

4. Children's Privacy

Screen Flashlight is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

5. Data Security

We prioritize the security of your information. Since Screen Flashlight does not transmit or store personal data on external servers, your usage data remains secure on your personal device.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date". You are advised to review this page periodically for any updates.
