We believe in transparency. Flashlight Bright LED Torch does not require user accounts, registration, logins, or submission of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as your real name, email address, phone number, physical address, or payment credentials.

However, to provide ad-supported functionality and localized features, third-party software development kits (SDKs) integrated into the App collect limited technical data:

3. How We Use Your Information

The information collected by integrated SDKs is processed exclusively for functional, operational, and commercial optimization purposes:
