Flipdeck and your privacy

This page sums up what Flipdeck does with your data. The Hedgerow privacy policy covers every app, the website and purchases in full.

What stays on your PC

• Settings and data live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hedgerow\Flipdeck on your PC.
• Your settings, tile layout, shortcuts and chosen audio devices.
• While presentation mode is on, a note of the settings it changed, so they can be put back even after a crash.
• The last 10 crash reports, kept locally whether or not you send them.
• A trial start date in the registry under your user account.
• A Start with Windows entry in your user Run key (Direct edition; on by default, turn it off in Settings › General).

When Flipdeck goes online

• License activation (Direct edition): when you enter a key, Flipdeck sends the key, your PC’s name, the app’s name and an anonymous device ID to our license server. About once a week it checks the license again, sending the key and the activation’s ID.
• Update checks (Direct edition): only when you choose Check for updates. The request includes the app’s name and version, nothing else.
• Crash reports: off unless you turn them on. If Flipdeck crashes, it saves a report on your PC; with reports turned on it also sends that report, with file paths removed, to crash.hedgerowapps.com.

Good to know

• Tiles change Windows' own settings for your user account, such as the light or dark theme, Night light and taskbar auto-hide, only when you click them or press their shortcut.

There are no ads, and no analytics or usage tracking.

Microsoft Store edition

The Store edition doesn’t contact our license server or check for updates itself: Microsoft handles the purchase, the license and updates, under Microsoft’s privacy statement.
