The short version. Flip Clock has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Nothing you do in the app is sent to us, because there is nowhere for it to be sent — we operate no server.
This policy describes what the app does and does not do with your information, and it covers the app on both Android and iOS. It is short because the app does very little.
Everything the app remembers is stored on your device only:
None of this leaves your device. Uninstalling the app deletes all of it.
If — and only if — you switch Show weather on, the app asks Open-Meteo for the current temperature in the cities you have chosen. That request contains a latitude and a longitude and nothing else. There is no API key, no account, and no identifier attached to it.
The app does not request location permission. The places it asks about are the ones you picked from a list, not where you are.
If you leave weather switched off, the app makes no network requests at all.
On Android:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet | Weather only, and only when you enable it |
| Alarms & reminders | To ring an alarm at the exact time you set |
| Notifications | To show the alarm while it is ringing |
| Full-screen intent | To show the alarm over your lock screen |
| Run at startup | To restore your alarms after the phone reboots |
| Vibrate, wake lock, foreground service | To ring, and to keep the screen on while docked |
On iOS, the app asks for one thing only:
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Alarms | To ring an alarm at the time you set, through Silent and Focus |
It is asked for at the moment you create your first alarm, never at launch, and refusing it costs you nothing but the alarm.
The app does not request access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files, or call and message history.
Flip Clock collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the new version is published at this address before the change ships.
