Privacy policy

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Beamfold is a flashlight app for Android from Anom, the app studio of Zest Plate LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Beamfold.

No account, no personal data from you

• You don't need an account to use Beamfold, and we don't ask for your name, email address or any other personal details.
• Beamfold itself includes no analytics. Data that leaves your phone is limited to the ads described below.

No camera permission for the light

• Beamfold switches your phone's flash in torch mode, which Android allows without opening the camera. It never takes pictures and does not ask for the camera.
• The messages you type for Morse code and your settings are saved only in Beamfold's private storage on your phone, and are not included in cloud backups or phone-to-phone transfers.

Ads

Beamfold is free and shows ads from Google AdMob, Google's advertising service: a banner at the bottom of the main screen and an occasional full-screen ad when you close the screen light.

• To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in Beamfold collects and sends to Google: your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers (such as the app set ID), your IP address (from which an approximate location can be worked out), information about the ads you see and tap, and technical and diagnostic information about your phone and the app (for example the model, Android version, crash reports and performance data).
• Google may use this information to show personalised ads where the law allows it and you agree, and non-personalised ads otherwise. How Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• We (Zest Plate LLC) don't receive personal data from the ads. We only see totals, such as how many ads were shown and what they earned.
• Ads in Beamfold are limited to content suitable for general audiences.

Your ad choices

• In the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and US states with privacy laws, Beamfold asks for your choice with Google's consent form the first time you open it. You can change it at any time in Settings > Privacy choices.
• Anywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off ad personalisation, in your phone's Settings > Google > Ads (on some phones, Settings > Privacy > Ads).

Permissions

• Internet, network state and advertising ID: used by the ads.
• The ads library also adds a few standard permissions that Android grants without asking (for example, keeping the phone awake for a moment to finish a task). Beamfold never asks you for a permission.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling Beamfold deletes everything it stored on your phone.

Children

Beamfold is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
