Privacy Policy for Flickcall

TLDR; - Policy in plain English

• Personal communication (chats and video call) stream are sent directly to intended recipient using webRTC p2p based technology.

In cases where p2p communication is blocked for user, communication is routed by our servers in which case communication is fully encrypted.
• Since extensions are installed in browsers, we went extra mile to prevent user privacy by not including any 3rd party analytics sdk (like google analytics) directly in extension. This prevent tracking of users via cookie or any other medium by these providers.
• We do collect anonymized technical information when Flickcall services are active on streaming platforms. The information includes browser details, user interaction, time in establishing connection, error logs, delay in video synchronization, title being played etc that are necessary for core functionality, monitoring of services & optimize product.
