RecallFlag
RecallFlag Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This policy applies to the Android app RecallFlag, package com.mwinteractive.recallflag. The operator is MW Interactive. Website: https://mwinteractive.com. Contact: support@mwinteractive.com.
No account
RecallFlag does not require an account or login. MW Interactive does not maintain its own RecallFlag user profile for app users.
Product codes
Entered or scanned GTIN, EAN and UPC identifiers are used to search the local RecallFlag database. The audited app code does not send scan history to an MW Interactive backend, and MW Interactive does not operate a server that stores users' checked-product history.
The app can connect to supported official sources to download public alert data and update its local cache. When connecting to an external official service, that service may technically receive standard network information such as an IP address.
Camera
The Android camera permission is used only for barcode scanning through the on-device scanner. RecallFlag does not use the camera to record the user, store photos, or send camera images to an MW Interactive server.
Local data
RecallFlag stores data locally on the device, including the cached official alert database, app settings, selected language and market, FREE daily usage counters, cached PRO entitlement and ML Kit translation model state where applicable.
Local app data can be removed by clearing app data in Android settings or uninstalling the app. Purchases are handled by Google Play and may remain available through the Google account according to Google Play rules.
Official sources
RecallFlag downloads public product safety and recall information from external official sources. The current code includes providers for UOKiK in Poland, NKFH in Hungary, Vaarallisettuotteet.fi / Tukes in Finland, GOV.SI in Slovenia and TTJA in Estonia. EU Safety Gate is present as a degraded source until a stable public alert API or export contract is confirmed.
MW Interactive does not control the privacy practices of those external institutions. Review their websites for their own notices: UOKiK, NKFH, Tukes / Vaarallisettuotteet.fi, GOV.SI, TTJA.
Google Mobile Ads
The current app contains Google Mobile Ads / AdMob integration. In FREE mode, banner ads can be displayed when ad unit IDs are configured. The code also contains interstitial and rewarded ad identifiers for configuration, although the audited UI currently loads banner ads only.
Google and its partners may process data under their own policies, such as device or advertising identifiers, technical data and approximate information needed to provide ads, depending on configuration and user choices. MW Interactive does not control data collected by Google's SDK. See Google Privacy Policy and Google advertising policies.
Google Play Billing
RecallFlag PRO is processed through Google Play Billing as a lifetime non-consumable product. MW Interactive does not receive the user's full payment card details. The app receives purchase information needed to determine the PRO entitlement according to Google Play Billing.
ML Kit translation
RecallFlag uses Google ML Kit Translation. Language models may be downloaded from Google services. The translation of alert text is performed on-device by the ML Kit translator in the audited code, and the original official text remains available.
PDF reports
PDF reports are generated locally on the device. After generation, the user can save, share or pass the PDF to another Android app. From the moment the user shares the file, further processing also depends on the selected app or destination service.
Analytics and telemetry
The audited app code does not include Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, App Center or a first-party MW Interactive telemetry system that records search history. This does not mean that Google Mobile Ads or Google Play Billing perform no technical measurement under their own policies.
Children
RecallFlag is not presented as an app directed to children. It is a utility for checking product safety and recall alerts.
Retention and deletion
MW Interactive does not maintain a central RecallFlag account or backend profile to delete. Local app data can be removed through Android clear app data or by uninstalling the app. Data processed by Google is subject to Google's policies.
Security
RecallFlag uses HTTPS when communicating with supported official sources where those sources provide HTTPS. No online system can be promised to be perfectly secure.
Changes
This policy may be updated when the app, external services or legal requirements change. The latest version will show its update date at the top of the page.
