Your data stays on your device.
Flocklight is built on a simple posture: we cannot leak what we do not collect. This document describes what the app stores, what it transmits, and what we promise never to do.
What we collect
Account data. If you create an account, we store an email address and a hashed credential. Pro subscribers have a receipt token tied to Apple's StoreKit — we never receive your card details.
Crash + diagnostic logs. Anonymous, opt-in, processed by Apple's first-party tooling. No third-party analytics SDKs are bundled in the app.
Community reports. When you submit a new camera node, we store the coordinates, timestamp, and an opaque device ID for moderation. We do not store who you are.
What stays on-device
Your location, your route history, your Exposure briefing computations, your watchlist, your geofences, and any photos you attach to a report draft are processed and persisted on your iPhone. None of it is transmitted to Flocklight servers.
The Exposure feature performs proximity matching locally against the cached camera dataset. We never receive a log of which cameras you passed.
What we never do
- — We do not sell data. There is no buyer list because there is no list.
- — We do not embed third-party trackers, ad SDKs, or attribution pixels.
- — We do not fingerprint your device.
- — We do not share data with law enforcement except under valid legal process.
- — We do not build shadow profiles of non-users.
Map data
Camera node data is sourced from the OpenStreetMap commons under the Open Database License (ODbL), augmented by community submissions. The dataset describes publicly visible infrastructure on public rights-of-way.
Children
Flocklight is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
Your rights
You may request deletion of any account data by emailing privacy@flocklight.io. Because most data lives on your device, uninstalling the app removes it.
Changes
Material changes will be announced in-app and noted at the top of this page. The effective date above always reflects the current version.
