Privacy, explained plainly

1. Anonymous usage statistics from the Windows app

These statistics help us understand active installations, app versions and which features are useful. They are separate from website analytics and are not used for advertising profiles.

Data used when app telemetry is enabled

• A random Install ID (UUID) generated for the app installation
• Application version (for example v1.4)
• Windows version
• System architecture (for example x64)
• System locale (for example th-TH)
• Feature events, such as app open, speed test, DNS test/apply, network optimize/restore, QoS, mini monitor and benchmark actions
• First-seen and last-seen timestamps maintained by the Flash Internet server

The telemetry API may use the connecting IP address transiently for abuse/rate limiting. The IP address itself is not written to the Flash Internet analytics database as an installation identifier.

What the Windows app telemetry does not collect

• Your name, Windows username or computer name
• MAC address, hardware serial number or Windows product key
• Browsing history, visited website URLs or DNS query history
• Network packet contents
• Passwords, browser cookies or personal files

How to turn app telemetry off

You can control app telemetry from Flash Internet → Settings → Privacy → Anonymous Usage Statistics. When disabled, Flash Internet should not send these usage events to the telemetry API.

2. Website analytics

This website can use Google Analytics to understand general website usage. It stays disabled unless you choose Allow analytics. Website analytics is separate from the Flash Internet Windows app telemetry described above.

If accepted, Google Analytics may process information such as website interactions, browser/device information, approximate location and a browser identifier/cookie according to Google's service behavior and your browser settings. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, passwords or other directly identifying form data to Google Analytics.

Google Analytics is a third-party service provided by Google. Flash Internet is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Google.

Why these statistics exist

We use aggregated statistics to answer practical questions such as how many installations are active, which app versions are still in use, which features are used most, and which website pages are useful. The goal is product maintenance and improvement, not building advertising profiles.

Third-party services and names

Flash Internet may display or let you test public DNS services such as Google Public DNS, Cloudflare, Quad9 and OpenDNS. These are third-party services. Their names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Listing a DNS provider does not imply sponsorship, partnership or endorsement.
