Effective date: October 13, 2026 Developer: Black and Blue
FlowSpace is an Android launcher, focus timer, app-limit, and device-automation app published by Black and Blue (“FlowSpace,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy explains what the app accesses, what may leave your device, and the choices available to you.
FlowSpace does not require an account. We do not sell personal data or show advertising. From version 0.0.33, Firebase Analytics provides optional usage reporting for adults who opt in, and the app does not include a Crashlytics crash uploader. Earlier versions used Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics as described below. Advertising ID collection and ad-personalization signals are disabled.
FlowSpace processes the following information locally to provide features you choose:
This locally processed information is not sent to a Black and Blue server.
Some optional or operational features use third-party services.
FlowSpace uses Google Play Billing and RevenueCat to offer and manage FlowSpace Pro and an optional repeatable one-time tip. These services may process purchase history, purchase tokens, subscription status, an anonymous RevenueCat app-user identifier, app and device or operating-system information, and network information such as an IP address. FlowSpace does not provide them with your name, email address, contacts, or locally stored focus activity.
RevenueCat initializes when FlowSpace starts so it can refresh access and available products. Its anonymous installation identifier and ordinary request metadata may therefore be processed even if you do not purchase, independently of the optional Firebase reporting setting. From version 0.0.33, FlowSpace explicitly disables RevenueCat’s automatic device-identifier collection and does not supply attribution identifiers.
This information is used to display, verify, restore, secure, support, and measure purchases, subscriptions, and optional tips. Tips do not unlock content or change app access. Payment-card and billing-address handling is performed by Google Play, not FlowSpace. Data is handled under the Google Privacy Policy, Google Play Terms, and RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
From version 0.0.33, usage reporting is off by default, including after upgrading from earlier versions. Reporting is offered only after an on-device birth-date check indicates that you are 18 or older, followed by a separate affirmative sharing choice. The birth date is used transiently and is not saved, logged, or sent to providers. A declined, invalid, or under-18 answer leaves reporting off. You can make this choice under Settings → Privacy & Permissions → Usage reports; it does not limit app features. Turning the setting off stops app-controlled events and disables Analytics collection. This version does not include the Crashlytics SDK and cannot resume uploading its older on-device crash reports. This does not delete reports already held by Google or promise removal of older local files.
FlowSpace uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand whether major product flows work. Analytics may automatically process an app-instance identifier, a masked IP address used to derive approximate location, app lifecycle and screen-view events, and Google Play purchase or subscription events. FlowSpace also sends a small event taxonomy covering feature use, onboarding-step completion, paywall views, trial starts, completed purchases, and encountered errors. Custom event values are limited to predefined technical labels; FlowSpace does not send typed text, place searches, precise location, installed-app lists, notification content, focus history, Space or Routine contents, names, email addresses, or account identifiers through these custom events.
Versions before 0.0.33 used Crashlytics to process crash and non-fatal stack traces, relevant app state, app version, device model and operating-system metadata, Crashlytics installation UUIDs, and Firebase installation IDs. FlowSpace did not set a Crashlytics user ID. Firebase installation and app-instance IDs identify an app installation and are not a FlowSpace account. Earlier installed versions continue to follow their earlier reporting behavior until updated.
Google processes this information to provide analytics, crash reporting, and service security. Data is encrypted in transit. FlowSpace does not link Firebase Analytics to an advertising account, does not use Firebase data for advertising, and disables collection of the Android Advertising ID and ad-personalization signals. See Privacy and Security in Firebase and Google’s Analytics data-disclosure guidance.
When you use a Place Routine, Google Play services may process precise location to register and deliver geofence events under Google’s privacy terms.
When you open the place picker, OpenFreeMap infrastructure receives ordinary network request data, including your IP address and the map area being viewed, to render an OpenStreetMap-based map. When you search for a place or move the map to label its center, Android’s device geocoding provider receives the search text or selected coordinates and preferred language. The provider may use network services and process ordinary request data and app/device information. Provider availability and results vary by device; you can still select a point on the map when a lookup is unavailable. See OpenFreeMap and Android Geocoder.
FlowSpace requests the Manrope font through Google Play services. Google may receive ordinary request and device information needed to deliver the font under the Google Privacy Policy.
If you choose to contact support, your email provider and ours process the message and any information you include. FlowSpace pre-fills app version, Android version, API level, device manufacturer, and device model to help diagnose the problem; you can edit the message before sending it. Do not include passwords, receipts, precise location, or other sensitive information unless specifically requested through a secure channel.
FlowSpace asks for access only when it is needed for a feature or when you choose to enable it. Depending on the feature, this may include Usage Access, Display Over Other Apps, Notification Access, Accessibility, foreground and background location, installed-app visibility, phone state, nearby devices, physical activity, Do Not Disturb, system-setting access, exact alarms, NFC, wallpaper, foreground services, or notifications.
You can revoke access in Android Settings. Revoking access disables the features that depend on it. Broad installed-app visibility supports the launcher, app selection, Spaces, and App Timers. Accessibility is optional and supports app-based and theme Routines, activity-based break reminders, and Double tap to lock; declining its disclosure keeps the launcher and timers available. Neither permission is used for advertising, profiling, or remote monitoring.
Local data is protected by Android’s application sandbox. FlowSpace disables Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer for its private app data. Local data remains until you clear FlowSpace storage or uninstall the app. Either action deletes the app’s local database, preferences, saved wallpaper copies, and other private files.
Google Play, RevenueCat, Firebase, Google Play services, OpenFreeMap, Android device geocoding providers, and email providers keep information according to their own legal, fraud-prevention, security, and operational requirements. Firebase states that Crashlytics keeps crash traces and associated installation identifiers for 90 days before beginning removal from live and backup systems. Analytics retention is governed by the FlowSpace Analytics property settings and Google’s applicable terms.
To request help identifying or deleting information associated with FlowSpace’s anonymous RevenueCat or Firebase installation identifier, email developer@blackandblue.co.in with the subject FlowSpace privacy request. We may need information from the app or a purchase record to locate the relevant identifier. Some purchase or operational records may need to be retained by Google, RevenueCat, Firebase, or Black and Blue where required by law, accounting, fraud prevention, security, or dispute handling.
FlowSpace is intended for people aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a service used by FlowSpace, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
From version 0.0.33, optional Firebase usage reporting is unavailable to users who declare that they are under 18 or do not provide a valid birth date. This is a local eligibility check, not verified parental consent or proof of identity. It does not change subscriptions, device permissions, or the separate provider processing described above. The Crashlytics uploader is absent for all users of that version.
FlowSpace’s Google Play audience includes ages 13–15, 16–17 and 18+. Subscriptions and optional tips remain subject to Google Play’s payment and purchase-approval controls.
Third-party providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Their privacy policies describe their processing locations and safeguards.
Users in India may send privacy questions or complaints to Black and Blue at developer@blackandblue.co.in with the subject FlowSpace privacy request. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. This contact statement does not designate a statutory grievance officer or publish unverified legal or postal details.
We may update this policy when the app, its service providers, or legal requirements change. The current version will show its effective date above. Material changes will be communicated through the app or store listing when appropriate.
For privacy or deletion requests, email us. Do not post purchase identifiers, location, or other sensitive information in a public issue.
