What Flux knows about you, what it is for, and the choices you keep.

1. The information we hold

Because Flux combines a social feed with paid features, the information handled goes beyond a basic login. Which of it applies to you depends on the features you actually use and the permissions you grant. The categories are:

2. The permissions the app asks for

Each of these is requested before the app can use it, and every one can be switched off in the device settings:

• Camera — to take photos or video inside Flux.
• Microphone — to record audio for features that need it.
• Location — for nearby people, places, and content, including precise location where you allow it.
• Notifications — to deliver messages, activity alerts, and updates, including push notifications.

Album access is used when you select a photo or video. Refusing a permission does not affect the rest of the app, though the feature relying on it may be unavailable.

3. How the information reaches us

Most of it comes directly from what you enter, post, or choose. The rest is produced automatically as you use the app — technical, usage, and diagnostic information, some of it generated by the operating system or by the outside tools described in section 7. Protected data is accessed only while the relevant feature is active, and runtime permissions are needed before that happens.

4. What we use it for

The reasons we process information fall into a few groups. There is the everyday running of your profile: creating it, keeping it secure, and supporting the third-party sign-in option. Then there is the social side — carrying the feed, your conversations, and the suggestions of people you might want to connect with.

Payment-related processing covers subscriptions and in-app purchases and preserves your access to items already acquired. Location data sits behind the nearby people and content features. We also rely on information to see how the app is performing, trace where installations originate, refine the product, and diagnose faults so the app stays reliable. Further uses are delivering the alerts you receive, answering support mail, reviewing reported material, upholding the terms, and safeguarding users.

Information is not turned to a purpose outside these groups without your being told, and fresh consent is sought wherever the law calls for it.

5. The resettable advertising identifier

Flux does not show advertising. The device advertising identifier is nonetheless needed for install attribution and measurement — understanding where installations come from, measuring how distribution performs, and linking app events to those measurements. It is not used to build an advertising profile aimed at serving you ads. You can reset the identifier or opt out through the device's advertising settings.

6. Who information is shared with

Outside partners keep Flux running in our stead rather than for themselves. Each receives only what its particular function demands, and written terms bar independent use, impose confidentiality, and require a level of protection comparable to our own. The partners are best described by what they do rather than by name:

One group keeps the service online and looks after stored content and synchronised data. Another handles the carriage of conversations, and a separate one pushes alerts to devices. Measurement is covered by partners that analyse use and attribute installations, while diagnostic partners collect crash data. Billing and purchases are processed by payment partners, identity by the third-party sign-in service, and reported material and user enquiries by the moderation and support partners.

Beyond these groups, information can be disclosed where the law compels it, to answer a valid legal demand, or to shield users and the public from harm. Anything placed on a public profile or shared material is, by definition, open to other users to view.

7. We do not sell your data

Information about you is never traded for payment. Nobody is given personal data in return for money, and the partners described above are processors working to our instructions rather than purchasers. Their contracts forbid them from monetising any Flux data they touch.

8. Moving information across borders

Because Google Play makes Flux available across many countries, the infrastructure and partners that support it are not all in the country where you are based. A consequence is that data can be held or worked on abroad, where the privacy regime may not match the one you know at home.

Where data leaves your country, contract terms require the receiving partner to safeguard it at a level comparable to this policy and the law that governs us. Details of those arrangements are available on request via the address below.

9. How long information is kept

Data persists while a profile remains live and for the time the service genuinely needs it. Once an account is closed, the associated records are taken out of active systems in the manner explained on the deletion page, and residual copies age out of backups on a schedule rather than all at once.

An exception applies where data must be kept to satisfy a legal, security, anti-fraud, or record-keeping need; only the data that purpose demands is held, and it is treated under this policy.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, local law may entitle you to see what is held about you, correct errors, request erasure, object to or restrict certain processing, and obtain a transferable copy. Profile fields can generally be fixed in the app; other requests, including account closure, can be made through the contact below.

Device settings let you withdraw permissions, tune notification choices, and reset the advertising identifier, and optional processing can be declined where that option is offered. Where a regulator exists, you may also have a route to complain to it. We confirm identity as needed and answer within the period the law sets.

11. Security

Safeguards include encryption while data moves, controlled access, and internal visibility limited to people who need it for their role. As tools and threats evolve, these measures are revisited. Even so, no transmission or storage route is impenetrable, so absolute security cannot be promised.

12. Children

Flux is restricted to people aged eighteen and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. The age step at registration, underage account reviews, and the handling of child-safety matters are described in the children's policy. If you believe a minor has an account, contact us and we investigate and close it.

13. When this policy changes

We update the policy as features, providers, or legal requirements change, showing the updated date at the top and, where required, giving additional notice. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance to the extent the law allows.
