Flagloop Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-10-24

Flagloop is a world-flags learning app: a daily round of 10 flag questions that brings back the flags you miss (spaced repetition), quiz modes (flag to country, country to flag, capitals, look-alike flags, a 60-second sprint), a flag atlas with capitals and continents, and a home screen widget (the "app"). It is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Flagloop has no account system and we do not run a server for it.

Data stored on your device

Your learning progress (which flags you have seen, how well you know each one and when it is due again), your daily streak, your best scores per quiz mode, and your settings (theme, territories on or off, automatic next question, reminders) are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us. The flag images, country data and capital names are built into the app. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. If device backup is turned on, Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup. That backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Sharing

When you use Share (for example a round result), the app creates the text on your device and hands it to the app you pick in the Android share sheet. The app does not upload anything by itself.

Permissions the app asks for and why

• Notifications (optional). Used for a short daily reminder when your 10 flags are ready. You can decline and every feature still works.
• Run at startup. Lets reminders and the home screen widget come back after your phone restarts or the time zone changes.
• Vibration. Short haptic feedback when you pick a wrong answer.
• Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used only by the advertising components described below. Rounds, quizzes and the atlas work offline.

The app does not use the microphone, the camera, location permission or your contacts.

Information collected automatically

When you use the app, third-party SDKs used for advertising may collect some information automatically, including:

• Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may be used to estimate your approximate (general) location
• Device or other identifiers, such as your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and app set ID
• App interactions, such as session time, screens viewed, and ad views and taps
• Crash logs and diagnostic information, such as your device's operating system and model, and ad performance data

The advertising SDK collects this information and shares it with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security and compliance. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send your learning progress off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to it.

Advertising

The app shows advertisements from Google AdMob:

• a banner at the bottom of most screens (never on the question screen where you tap answers)
• an ad when the app starts
• full-screen ads only at natural pauses: when you close a round result, or when you open a flag's details

To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. In the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app shows a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used. If you decline, you are shown non-personalized ads instead. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and you can change your consent choice from the app's Settings screen.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners' apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Children

Flagloop is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Your data exists only on your device, so you control it directly: uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EEA/UK or the CCPA in California), you may also have rights over data processed by advertising SDKs. You can exercise your ad choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings described above.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
