Flikk turns your phone into a remote for your own TV, tablet and computer. We built it to work entirely between your devices. This policy explains, in plain language, exactly what that means for your information.
To remember your setup, Flikk saves a small amount of information in its private app storage on your device:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Names and local addresses of the devices you connect to (for example “Living Room TV”) | So you can reconnect or switch between them in one tap |
| The type you chose for each device (Android, Mac or Windows) and whether typing is on | So keyboard shortcuts and typing behave correctly |
| Your theme choice (System, Light or Dark) | So the app looks the way you left it |
| Pairing keys and security certificates | So your TV and tablet recognise your phone without a new code each time. These are stored in Android’s secure key storage and never leave your phone |
None of this is sent to us. Other apps cannot read it.
When you use Flikk, it sends your commands directly to the device you are controlling, over your own Wi-Fi or Bluetooth:
Connections to Smart TVs use encrypted connections (TLS) and a one-time pairing code. Connections to a tablet running Flikk use a six-digit pairing code, and each later connection is verified with a secret key held only by the two paired devices.
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Nearby devices (Bluetooth) | To find, pair with and control your TV, tablet or computer over Bluetooth. Flikk does not use Bluetooth to determine your location. |
| Location (Android 11 and earlier only) | Older versions of Android require this permission for any Bluetooth search. Flikk never reads your location. |
| Wi-Fi and local network access | To find Smart TVs and tablets on your home network and connect to them. Flikk only talks to devices on your local network. |
| Notifications | To show that a remote connection is active, and to display the pairing code on a tablet. |
| Notification access (optional, tablet only) | Only when you turn on “Control this device” on a tablet and choose to allow it. It lets Flikk see which video or song is playing so it can skip exactly 10 seconds and show the title on your phone. Flikk does not read, store or share the content of your notifications or messages. |
You can turn any of these off in Android’s settings at any time. Features that depend on a permission will simply ask again when you use them.
