Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

This Privacy Policy describes how Flash Morse Code ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

The App allows you to send Morse code messages using your device's flashlight. We collect the following information:

• Messages: Text messages you input for transmission via Morse code
• Message History: A local history of messages you have sent, stored only on your device
• App Settings: Your preferences including language selection (English/Polish) and theme preferences (light/dark mode)

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

The App may collect certain information automatically:

• Device Information: Basic device information necessary for app functionality
• Usage Data: App logs and usage statistics stored locally on your device for debugging and improvement purposes

1.3 Flashlight Access

The App requires access to your device's flashlight to function:

• Flashlight: Used to transmit Morse code messages. The App controls the flashlight only when actively transmitting messages.

1.4 Camera Access (Future Feature)

Note: The App declares camera permissions for a future feature that will allow receiving Morse code messages via camera. However, this feature is currently disabled and the camera is not used in the current version of the App. Camera permissions are declared but not requested or accessed at this time.

If and when the camera feature is enabled in a future update, camera data will be processed in real-time locally on your device and will never be stored, recorded, or transmitted to any external servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the App's core functionality (sending Morse code messages via flashlight)
• To store your message history locally on your device
• To remember your app preferences (language, theme)
• To improve the App's performance and user experience
• To provide technical support and troubleshoot issues

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

All data collected by the App is stored exclusively on your device using:

• SQLite Database: For storing message history and app logs
• Shared Preferences: For storing app settings and user preferences

We do not collect, transmit, or store any data on external servers. All information remains on your device and is never shared with third parties.

3.2 Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data stored locally on your device. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Permissions Required

The App requires the following permissions to function:

• Flashlight/Torch Permission: Required to transmit Morse code messages using your device's flashlight
• Storage Permission: Required to store message history and app logs locally on your device

Camera Permission: The App declares camera permissions for a future feature (receiving Morse code messages via camera), but this feature is currently disabled. The camera permission is declared but not requested or used in the current version of the App.

These permissions are requested only when necessary for the App's functionality. You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device's settings, though this may limit or disable certain features of the App.

5. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services and libraries:

• Flutter Framework: The app is built using Flutter, Google's UI toolkit
• Device Hardware APIs: Access to camera and flashlight through platform-specific APIs

These services are used solely for app functionality and do not involve the transmission of your personal data to third parties.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to any third parties. Since all data is stored locally on your device, there is no data transmission to external servers or services.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete such information.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your information:

• Access: You can view your message history and app settings directly within the App
• Deletion: You can delete individual messages from your history or uninstall the App to remove all stored data
• Control: You can control app permissions through your device's settings
• Preferences: You can change language and theme settings at any time within the App

9. Data Retention

Your data is retained on your device until you:

• Delete individual messages from the App's history
• Clear the App's data through your device settings
• Uninstall the App

We do not have access to your data and therefore cannot delete it on your behalf. All data management is your responsibility.

10. International Users

The App operates entirely on your device and does not transmit data across international borders. All data processing occurs locally on your device, regardless of your location.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
