Flod — tile-based colour logic
Flod collects nothing, and has no means of collecting anything.
No account, no cloud save, no advertising, no analytics. The app declares no internet permission, which Android enforces in the operating system rather than leaving to the app's good conduct: without it, a connection cannot be opened at all. Your finished boards, your best move counts and your settings are written into the app's own private folder on the handset and stay there.
What follows sets out what is kept, one setting that deserves more care than a setting usually gets, what Google sees because the game is sold through Google Play, and what you can ask for.
Flod is published by Alsident System A/S, a company registered in Denmark. Under the General Data Protection Regulation it is the data controller for this app — a title that governs almost nothing here, because the app hands the company no personal data whatsoever.
Everything on this page, and any request under the rights set out further down, goes to flood@servicessrl.bar, which is read by the people responsible for the app.
Four things, and none of them describes a person:
Nothing in that list carries a name, an email address, an account, a device identifier or an advertising ID, because the app asks for none and generates none. Android holds each app's private folder beyond the reach of every other app on the phone, and that folder is this game's entire memory.
Flod offers colourblind-friendly palettes, and that line in the settings is worth pausing on. Choosing one is, in practice, a statement about how a person sees — and how a person sees is a fact about their body, not a display preference like a dark theme. In an app that sent telemetry, it would be one of the more revealing fields in the whole payload, and the sort of thing an advertising profile would be glad to have.
So it is treated accordingly: the choice is stored on the handset with everything else, it is never transmitted, never counted, never used to group anybody with anybody, and the app behaves identically whichever palette is selected. It exists to make the game readable, and for no other purpose.
Which is also the reason the palettes sit in plain sight in the settings rather than behind an accessibility submenu nobody opens.
Beyond the missing internet permission, there is no camera, no microphone, no location, no contacts, no photo library and no access to your wider storage. A grid of coloured squares needs none of them, and an app that asked would be telling you something.
The permission list is visible on the store page and on the handset, before and after installing, so none of this has to be taken on trust. A later version that wanted to reach a network would have to add a line there, in the open.
There is no ad network in this build, no analytics library, no crash reporter, no attribution kit and no social sign-in. Nothing here is paid for by watching whoever is holding the phone.
A bright grid of colours is a thing small children are handed constantly, so it is worth being explicit. With nothing advertised and nothing gathered from anybody, there is no profile to assemble out of a child's play, no audience to resell, and no reason to ask anyone's age — no answer would change what the app does.
One thing happens above the app's head. Where backup to Google Drive is switched on, Android may copy the small progress-and-settings file into your own Google account alongside the backups of everything else installed. That copy belongs to you and falls under Google's terms rather than ours; nobody here has an account there or anything to look at.
It is also the only route by which a shelf of finished boards survives a new handset. Android's own settings decide it, for the whole phone or for this app alone.
The download is a transaction between you and Google, logged against your Google account. What a developer sees afterwards is a console of totals: installs by country, the spread of Android versions, the drift of a rating. No individual row sits beneath those numbers for anyone here to open, and nothing in them touches a board or a move count.
Google's own part runs under Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
It is all in one folder, so there is a single action and nobody to write to. Uninstalling Flod removes the finished boards, the records and the settings together. To keep the game but return every board to unplayed, Android's app settings will clear its storage.
Both take effect at once and neither can be undone, and neither needs anything from us, because no second copy was ever made.
Everything above concerns data that never arrives anywhere. Email is the exception and a modest one. Writing leaves us holding an address and a message, kept while the matter is open and for a reasonable period afterwards in case it returns, then deleted.
It is used to answer you and for nothing else: no list, no onward sharing, no marketing. The lawful basis is legitimate interests, in replying to correspondence. Nothing in an email can be matched to anything in the game, because the game carries no identifier for it to be matched against, and asking for an exchange to be deleted is enough to have it deleted.
Seven rights come out of the General Data Protection Regulation, applied in Denmark alongside databeskyttelsesloven: to be told what is held, to receive a copy, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to have its use restricted, to object to that use, and to take it elsewhere in a portable form. Six of them, aimed at this app, will come back describing nothing, because nothing is held. All seven work normally against the mailbox named at the top, free of charge, with an answer due inside a month.
Denmark's supervisory authority is Datatilsynet, at datatilsynet.dk. A complaint may go straight there without passing through us first. Anyone living elsewhere in the EEA can use their own national authority instead.
One date sits under the title and marks the edition in force. Where something genuinely changes what happens to data — any collection at all, any third-party component, anything leaving the handset — the order is fixed and does not bend: this page is rewritten, the Data safety declaration in the Play Console is corrected in the same sitting, and the release responsible goes out after both.
A sentence tidied for clarity is not that, and arrives with nothing but a newer date.
