🔐 Data Safety & Privacy

FlipToMute is a simple and secure app that prioritizes user privacy.

📱 What Does the App Do?

FlipToMute detects the physical orientation of your phone.

When the phone is placed face down, incoming calls and notifications are silenced

When the phone is turned face up, the previous sound mode is automatically restored

All actions happen automatically in the background.

🔑 Required Permissions and Their Purpose

Accessibility Service
Used only to detect whether the device is placed face down or face up.
This permission allows FlipToMute to run reliably in the background.

Do Not Disturb (DND) Permission
Used only to silence incoming calls and notifications.

These permissions are required solely to provide the core functionality of the app.

🚫 What FlipToMute Does NOT Do

FlipToMute does NOT:

Read screen content

Track user behavior or interactions

Monitor other apps

Record keystrokes

Collect, store, or share personal data

Require an internet connection

🛡️ Data Processing & Privacy

No personal data is collected

All processing happens entirely on the device

No data is shared with third parties

FlipToMute fully complies with Google Play privacy and data safety requirements.

⚠️ Important Information for Android 10 & 11 Users

On devices running Android 10 or Android 11, if the app is fully closed from the recent apps screen, the Accessibility Service may temporarily stop.

If this happens:

Simply lock and unlock your phone, and FlipToMute will automatically become active again

Or open the app and tap Enable to restart the service

On Android 12 and above, the system handles the service more reliably and this action is usually not required.

🔕 How to Disable or Stop FlipToMute

FlipToMute works only while its Accessibility permission is enabled.

To completely stop the app:

Open System Settings

Go to Accessibility

Find FlipToMute

Turn Accessibility permission OFF

Once Accessibility is disabled:

FlipToMute will immediately stop working

No background activity will continue

No sound or notification changes will occur

You can re-enable the app at any time by turning the Accessibility permission back on.

✅ Why this is important:
This ensures you always have full control over the app and its behavior.
