Privacy policy
Flock Signal has no account, ads or analytics and does not track you.
Data we process
- Location. A chosen place or one-time approximate GPS position is sent to our server to retrieve the local signal. Ordinary lookups are not stored.
- Notifications. If enabled, we store an encrypted device token, chosen coordinates, language, threshold and night-report preference until you disable or remove the registration.
- Subscriptions. Apple or Google handles payment. To protect Plus, the app temporarily sends an Apple-signed transaction or Google Play purchase token to our server. We use it to request the current store status and do not retain the proof. We do not receive payment, name or address details. For a Plus notification preference, we retain only the verified entitlement end date.
- Technical logs. Short-lived operational and error logs keep the service reliable.
Processors and retention
OVH hosts the server in Frankfurt; Apple and Google verify subscriptions and deliver notifications; Netlify hosts this site. Notification registrations last until disabled, radar images are retained for seven days, and technical logs only briefly.
Your rights and contact
You can disable notifications to delete the registration. For access, correction, deletion or privacy questions email privacy@flocksignal.com. For app help email support@flocksignal.com.
