is an Android app for . This policy describes what the app does with the
information you put into it. It is short because the app does very little.
## The app collects nothing
has no account, no sign-in, and no server. Nothing you enter is transmitted anywhere.
Everything you record is stored **only in the app's private storage on your own device**, and is
readable only by the app.
There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising, and no third-party SDK that phones home.
The Google Play Billing library, which handles tips, carries usage logging of its own; without the
`INTERNET` permission it has no way to send it.
## What the app can access, and why
- **Nearby devices (Bluetooth).** Lets the app send commands to your lights. Your lights only
listen, so the app broadcasts short Bluetooth signals and never scans for, connects to or reads
from any device. It does not use your location. On Android 11 and older this is granted with the
app rather than asked for.
- **Google Play billing.** Lets the app ask the Google Play app for the price of a tip and open its
payment sheet. It gives the app nothing about you.
## The two things that happen outside the app
These are done by the operating system or by Google, not by , but they are the honest
answer to "where could my data be":
1. **Android's automatic backup.** If it is enabled on your phone, Android backs up the app's data
to your own Google Drive, in a space that does not count against your storage quota and that
Google states apps cannot read. It covers everything the app stores, your settings included, so
they come back when you set up a new phone. You can turn this off in your phone's settings.
2. **Google Play.** Installing and updating an app is a transaction between your phone and Google,
with its own privacy policy. About installs, the developer of this app receives aggregate,
anonymous statistics — install counts, crash rates, country-level breakdowns — and no information
about individuals.
**A tip, if you leave one, is paid to Google Play.** The app asks the Play app on your phone for
the prices and opens Play's own payment sheet; your payment details go to Google and never to the
app. Tips unlock nothing, so the app keeps no record of one. The developer receives the payment
and Google's order reports, which show for each tip the product, the price, your country, state
and postcode, and the model of your phone — and your city, in the few countries where the developer
rather than Google is the seller — but not your name or payment details. The developer uses them
only for accounting.
## Children
The app is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
## Deleting your data
Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored. There is nowhere else to delete it from, because
there is nowhere else it went.
## Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and the history of this file is public
in the repository.
