Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 18 Apr 2025 Last Updated: 18 Apr 2025
Flava (“we”, “our”, “us”) is operated by Denis Shchigolev. We offer the Flava mobile application (“App”) and related websites (“Services”) on a freemium basis. Your privacy is important to us. This notice explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes above or to comply with legal obligations.
Flava uses Apple’s TrueDepth API solely to detect head and face position so we can blur or mask faces in private‑chat photos.
No facial maps, raw depth data, or images ever leave your device.
We do not store this data permanently or share it with third parties.
Processing occurs in real time and data is discarded immediately after use.
We share only the data required to operate the Service. Each provider is contractually bound to keep data confidential and secure.
Google Analytics for Firebase – analytics and performance
Firebase Crashlytics – crash reporting
Google AdMob / Appodeal – advertising (opt‑out of personalised ads in Settings)
Apple In‑App Purchases – payment processing
We process your data on the following grounds:
Contract – to deliver the Service you request.
Legitimate Interest – to protect users, prevent fraud, and improve the App.
Consent – for personalised ads, push notifications, and precise location; you can withdraw consent anytime in Settings.
Legal Obligation – to meet tax or regulatory requirements.
Depending on your region, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data and to object to certain processing.
EEA/UK users: email support@flava.app with your request.
We respond within 30 days.
The App itself does not set cookies, but our website and third‑party SDKs may. You can refuse cookies in your browser or device settings; some features may not function without them.
We use encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+), hashed & salted passwords, least‑privilege access controls, and routine security audits. While no method is 100 % secure, we follow industry best practices to protect your data.
Your information may be processed on servers outside your country. When transferring data outside the EEA/UK, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other lawful safeguards.
Flava is strictly for users 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it immediately.
We may update this notice; the latest version is always at flava.app/privacy. If changes are material, we will provide 30‑day advance notice in‑app or by email.
