Fline is a messaging and calling service. This policy explains what information Fline handles, why it is needed, how it is protected, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
- Account and profile: email address, display name, profile photo, About text, account identifier and Google identity information when you choose Google Sign-In.
- Contacts and relationships: Fline contacts, friend requests, blocked accounts, pinned contacts and presence information. Fline does not upload your phone address book unless a future feature clearly asks for permission.
- Messages and attachments: message text, delivery state, timestamps and files or images you choose to send. Pending messages may be queued to complete delivery when a recipient reconnects.
- Calls: caller and recipient identifiers, call type, call state and timestamps needed for signaling, ringing and missed-call notifications. Audio, video and screen sharing use real-time media connections.
- Device and service data: push-notification token, app version, connectivity state, basic diagnostics and security information needed to operate and protect the service.
- Locally stored data: session state, recent chats, contacts, call notices, profile data and queued actions may be stored on your device so Fline remains useful offline.
Device permissions
- Camera and microphone are used only when you take a photo, scan a Fline QR code, or make an audio/video call.
- Notifications, vibration and foreground services support messages, ringing, missed calls and background call delivery.
- Bluetooth lets you route call audio to a headset or vehicle.
- Screen capture starts only after you select Share screen and approve Android’s system confirmation. You can stop it from Fline or the Android notification.
- Files and photos are accessed only when you use the system picker to select an attachment or profile picture.
How we use information
We use this information to create and secure accounts; synchronize profiles and contacts; deliver messages, calls and notifications; support offline actions; prevent abuse; troubleshoot reliability; and comply with legal obligations. Fline does not sell personal information or use message content for advertising.
Service providers
Fline uses service providers only to operate the product, including Google Identity for optional Google Sign-In, Firebase Cloud Messaging for push delivery, Google Play services for Android distribution and credentials, and Cloudflare for application hosting, signaling, storage and network services. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
Security and communications
Fline uses HTTPS/WSS encryption for data in transit and WebRTC encryption for live media. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Do not share information you would not want a recipient to retain. Copies of delivered messages or attachments may remain on a recipient’s device even after you delete your account.
Retention
Account and synchronized service data are kept while your account is active or as needed to provide Fline. Pending delivery records are kept only as needed for delivery and reliability. When you delete your account, Fline removes the active profile, contacts, blocks, push registration, pending server events and associated server call/message records. Limited security logs or backups may remain temporarily where required for security, recovery or legal compliance.
Your choices and rights
You can edit your profile, manage contacts, block users, control permissions, clear local conversations, use disappearing-message settings, sign out, or permanently delete your account. Depending on applicable law, you may also request access, correction, export, restriction or deletion by contacting us.
Account deletion
In Fline, open Profile → Settings → Delete Fline account and confirm both prompts. You may also review the account-deletion instructions or contact us from the registered account.
Children
Fline is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum age required in a user’s country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age.
International processing
Fline and its service providers may process information in countries other than yours. We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the service and applicable law.
Changes
We may update this policy as Fline evolves. Material changes will be reflected by a new effective date and, when appropriate, an in-app notice.
