The app stores the following data only on your device (in app-private SQLite database):

This data never leaves your device. Uninstalling the app removes it all.

4. Third-party services

4.1 Amazon Affiliate Links

When you tap a Buy link in the app, it opens Amazon's website (Amazon.com / Amazon.co.jp / Amazon.sg) in your default browser via Android's intent system. We embed an affiliate tag in the URL so we earn a small commission if you purchase. We do not share any data with Amazon. Amazon's own privacy policy applies once you reach their site:

4.2 Google Play Billing (Premium Purchase)

If you choose to purchase the Premium feature (¥370 / S$3 one-time), the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. We receive a binary success/failure signal — we do not see your payment method or personal details. Google Play's privacy policy applies:

4.3 No other third-party services

v1.0 does not use Google Analytics, Firebase, Crashlytics, AdMob, Facebook SDK, or any other third-party data collection service.

5. Children's privacy

The app is rated for general audiences (no content unsuitable for children). However, because we collect no personal data, the app is incidentally compliant with COPPA (US), GDPR-K (EU), and similar children's privacy regulations. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, regardless of age.

6. Data retention

Since we collect no personal data, there is nothing for us to retain. Your local app data (favorites, settings) is retained on your device until you uninstall the app or clear app data.

7. Your rights (regional applicability)

7.1 EU / EEA (GDPR)

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, and port your personal data. Since we collect no personal data, there is no data for us to provide or delete. You can clear your local data anytime via Android Settings → Apps → EDC Lumen Log → Storage → Clear data.

7.2 California (CCPA)

We do not sell personal information. We do not collect personal information.

7.3 Singapore (PDPA)

We comply with the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act. Since we collect no personal data, no PDPA obligations apply.

7.4 Japan (個人情報保護法)

個人情報の収集を行わないため、 個人情報保護法 (APPI) の主要規定は適用されません。

8. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy (e.g., adding AdMob banners or analytics in a future version), we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and prominently note the change in the app's release notes on Google Play.

9. AI-Assisted Content Disclosure

The flashlight reviews, articles, and recommendations in this app were drafted with AI assistance (Claude AI by Anthropic). All factual claims (lumens, candela, specs) are sourced from manufacturer pages and community-verified sources. All source URLs are visible in the app's "Sources" sections per flashlight. Reviews ("verdicts") reflect honest critique, including limitation disclosure.
