Address: 3214 Electric Rd PMB 1122 Ste 102, Roanoke, VA 24018
What happens today: while FLASHYAF™ is open, your microphone is on and listening for the wake word "Hey Flashy." After it hears the wake word, it listens for your command, then goes back to waiting for the wake word.
Who processes the audio: the wake word is detected by your browser's built-in speech recognition service. In most browsers (such as Chrome), this sends audio to Google's speech-to-text service, which is governed by Google's own terms and privacy policy. We do not store this audio.
What isn't available yet: saying "Hey Flashy" does not open FLASHYAF™ when the app is closed or your phone is locked. You can do everything in the app by tapping.
Your control: you can turn off microphone access for FLASHYAF™ at any time in your browser or device settings. Hands-free voice features will not work while the microphone is off. We plan to add an in-app choice between hands-free listening and tap-to-talk; until that is released, this section describes the app as it works today, and we will update it when that choice launches.
Voice replies: if we add a third-party voice service for Flashy's spoken replies, we will name it here and update this policy before it goes live.
Your account and flash-session data are stored in Firebase with access controls that limit records to the account owner and authorized administration. Voice notes are stored on your device via Memory Vault™ by default, unless you choose optional cloud storage. Research summaries include only records from members who have affirmatively enabled research participation, and public aggregate results are suppressed until enough consenting participants exist to reduce the risk of identifying an individual. Raw personal flash records are not made public.
If a breach of unsecured personal health information occurs, we will notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery, and will notify the FTC and others as required by law. We follow the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule (16 CFR Part 318) to the extent it applies to us.
Deleting your account is separate from cancelling a subscription. Deletion is intended to permanently remove your account and personal app history from our servers. There is no free MODE access afterward, and you will need to create a new account to return. We will confirm the final deletion details before public launch. Deletion also clears FLASHYAF™ data stored locally by the app on that device, including local-only notes and recordings; that device-only content cannot be restored. Deletion requests are processed within 30 days (see "Your rights"). De-identified aggregate statistics already calculated from consenting participants may remain because they are not linked to an identifiable account. Payment records held by Stripe are kept as required for tax and accounting purposes.
Pioneer Member pricing is available for exactly 24 calendar months from the public launch date. It is a time window, not a contract, and not a lifetime rate. You can cancel at any time with no minimum term. Existing subscribers receive 30 days' advance notice before any pricing change and may cancel before it takes effect, without penalty.
Research participation is always voluntary, requires separate consent from your subscription, and is revocable at any time in Settings with no effect on your account or pricing.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at customersupport@flashyafapp.com or imbz4u2@proton.me.
FLASHYAF™ is a General Wellness support platform. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding menopause-related transitions or any medical condition. In case of emergency, call 911.
