Privacy Policy

Flipy Clock is built so that it cannot collect data about you. This page explains what that means, and exactly where the few pieces of data Flipy does handle actually live.

What Flipy does not do

• Flipy has no network code. It cannot connect to a server because there is no server.
• Flipy has no analytics, no telemetry, and no third-party SDKs.
• Flipy has no account system, no sign-in, and no cloud sync.
• Flipy never reads any file outside of the file you explicitly pick when setting a custom background image, and never reads outside of its own sandboxed storage.

What stays on your Mac

Your countdowns, count-ups, preferences (theme, font, time format), and any background image you choose are stored in Flipy's macOS sandbox container — that is, in a directory only Flipy can read, inside your user account on your machine. Specifically:

• Settings and event lists: UserDefaults under the bundle identifier com.flipy.app.
• Background image (if set): a single file at ~/Library/Containers/com.flipy.app/Data/Library/Application Support/Flipy/background.dat.

None of this data ever leaves your Mac. Uninstalling Flipy and deleting the sandbox container removes it completely.

Children's privacy

Flipy collects no data from anyone. Since there is no data collection, there is no special handling needed for users under 13.

Changes to this policy

If Flipy ever introduces a feature that does collect or transmit data — for example, an opt-in iCloud sync — this page will be updated before that feature ships, and the change will be flagged in the release notes.
