Privacy policy

Your privacy is very important to us, and we’re not in the business of selling personal information. Therefore the app does not show ads nor gather usage statistics (analytics). However some optional features do need basic information about a user to operate.

Community

The flow sharing community feature rely on Google to authenticate and identify a user. The “personal information” provided by Google which we collect, store and use are:

  • Unique user identifier — used to authorize the user. Never shared with anyone.
  • Nickname or real name — displayed to other users.
  • E-mail address — only used by us in case we need to contact the user. Never shared with anyone.

If the user choose to share a flow, or a review thereof, with the community then it will be stored by us and published for other users to view and download.

Cloud messaging

The cloud messaging feature is accessible using the Cloud message send and Cloud message receive blocks, or the online endpoint. This feature rely on Google to authenticate and identify a user, and deliver the message. The “personal information” provided by Google, and the user when using the blocks/endpoint, which we collect, store and use are:

  • Unique user identifier provided by Google — used to authorize the user. Never shared with anyone.
  • Secret provided by the endpoint user — used to authenticate the user. Never shared with anyone.
  • E-mail address provided by Google or the user — used to identify the recipient. Sent to the recipient but never shared with anyone else.
  • Device brand & model provided by the user — used to address the recipient device. Sent to the recipient but never shared with anyone else.
  • Installation identifier provided by Google — used to address the recipient device. Never shared with anyone.

Messages are not collected or stored, once delivered they’re removed from our servers. We do not inspect or analyze the message Payload, enable end-to-end encryption by using a Cipher account to ensure none except the recipient can access it.

Google Play services

If available on the Android device the Google Play services is used for community authentication, cloud messaging, to access location data, for text recognition (ML Kit) and show maps, it collects:

  • Device brand, model, form factor and ML hardware
  • Version of OS, the app and service components it use
  • App used to install the app (e.g. Google Play store)
  • Generated pseudonymous installation identifiers
  • IP address
  • Stack traces & crash metrics
  • Performance metrics
  • ML Kit configuration & usage events
  • Map interaction events

Google API services

The Google API services are only accessed when a running automation flow includes and reach a block doing so:

The Google API services are accessed directly from the Android device, never through our or third-party servers. We do not collect, analyze, store or share content (Google user data) retrieved from, sent to, or stored on, Google API services.

Accessibility API

The Android Accessibility API is used to interact with the UI, intercept key presses, read notifications & “toast” messages, take screenshots, determine foreground app, capture fingerprint gestures and access accessibility button. It’s only accessed when a feature that require it is being deliberately and actively used, on the block configuration screen while designing an automation flow, or when a running flow includes and reach a block doing so. We do not collect or share data accessed through the Accessibility API.

Location data

Location data is only accessed when a feature that require it is being deliberately and actively used, on the block configuration screen while designing an automation flow, or when a running flow includes and reach a block doing so, even while the app is in the background. We do not collect or share location data.

Body sensor data

Body sensor data is only accessed when a feature that require it is being deliberately and actively used, on the block configuration screen while designing an automation flow, or when a running flow includes and reach a block doing so, even while the app is in the background. We do not collect or share body sensor data.

Image information

Users’ images and the information they contain is only accessed when a feature that require it is being deliberately and actively used, on the block configuration screen while designing an automation flow, when a running flow includes and reach a block doing so, or the user choose to manually import an image, e.g. to be used as an icon. We do not collect or share users’ images or the information they contain.

Files & directory access

Access to file storage on the Android device or a connected storage volume is only done when a feature that require it is being deliberately and actively used, on the block configuration screen while designing an automation flow, when a running flow includes and reach a block doing so, or the user choose to manually export or import content. We do not collect or share files and directory attributes/information.

Installed app information

Information about apps being or already installed on the Android device is only accessed when a feature that require it is being deliberately and actively used, on the block configuration screen while designing an automation flow, or when a running flow includes and reach a block doing so. We do not collect or share installed app information, except for version of the app, and the app used to install it, that the Google Play services collect as described above.

App data

Data such as user made flows and app settings are only stored locally on the Android device. We do not collect or share data stored on the device, except when the user explicitly choose to do so using the Community feature.

Age restriction

The community, cloud messaging and features using Google API services are not permitted for use by children and therefore require age verification, i.e. the “access age restricted features” privilege. The age of a “child” varies depending on country. We do not collect or share the age information, it’s only stored locally on the device.

Data protection

All communication with online services, as described above, are made though secure (HTTPS) connections. Security procedures are in place to protect the confidentiality of user data. See also security.

Data deletion

To request that we delete all data stored in relation to a particular user as described above, see data deletion.
