Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 September 2026
1. Who this policy covers
This policy explains how Wingman (“Wingman”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you use the Wingman mobile app and this website. For privacy questions or requests, email support@theflipflop.shop with “Wingman privacy” in the subject line.
2. Information handled on your device
Wingman requests access only when needed for features you choose to use. The following information is handled locally on your device:
- Photos and videos you select: used to show, import, protect, and manage your private media vault.
- Vault security data: your PIN is not sent to us. Wingman stores local security material needed to protect access to the vault.
- Camera images: if you allow camera access and use the intruder-capture protection feature, Wingman can take a photo following failed unlock attempts. That image is stored locally in the app.
- Notification preferences: used to deliver device notifications if you enable them.
We do not operate a service that receives, reads, or stores your vault photos or videos. Removing the app may remove local app data; make sure you understand the app’s current export or recovery options before deleting it.
3. Information received by service providers
Wingman uses limited third-party services to provide subscriptions and, if configured in a release, diagnose app failures. Those providers may process limited technical or purchase information under their own policies.
| Service | Purpose | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| RevenueCat | Subscription entitlement and purchase management | Anonymous app user identifier, product/entitlement status, purchase and transaction information supplied by the app store. No vault content is sent. |
| Apple App Store / Google Play | Distribution and payment processing | Purchase, account, and payment information they handle under their own privacy policies. Wingman does not receive your full payment-card details. |
| Sentry (only when enabled in a release) | Crash and error diagnostics | Technical diagnostic information such as device/OS details, app version, timestamps, and error stack traces. Vault media is not intentionally sent. |
RevenueCat’s privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy. Store processing is governed by Apple’s policy and Google’s policy.
4. Information we do not collect for advertising
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not use advertising SDKs or cross-app advertising tracking.
- We do not collect precise location, contacts, SMS messages, browsing history, or biometric templates.
- We do not intentionally upload your vault photos or videos to our servers.
5. Permissions
Android and iOS permissions are requested by the app or operating system. You can deny or revoke permissions in device settings; doing so can limit the corresponding feature.
- Photos and videos: to let you select and manage media you choose for Wingman.
- Camera: only for the optional intruder-capture protection feature.
- Notifications: to show notifications if enabled.
- Background/boot access on Android: to support app features such as scheduled notification behaviour where supported by your device.
6. Retention and deletion
Local vault data remains on your device until you remove it in the app or uninstall the app. Subscription providers and app stores retain purchase records according to their policies and legal obligations. Technical diagnostics, if Sentry is enabled, are retained according to the project’s configured retention period.
7. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability for personal information we control. You can delete local media in the app and revoke permissions through your device settings. For information held by service providers (such as a store purchase record), their privacy tools may also apply. Contact us at support@theflipflop.shop for assistance.
8. Children
Wingman is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us so we can review and address the request.
9. Security
We use a local-first design and technical safeguards intended to protect the app’s private-media features. No system is perfectly secure, and you are responsible for keeping your device, PIN, and account credentials protected.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Wingman changes. We will update the date at the top of this page and, where required, provide additional notice in the app.
