AI predicts candidates on servers in Japan, which are operated by IO Inc. Nobody except AI analyzes the typed text. The used data is treated only in Japan and it is deleted as soon after AI uses.

Permits the collection (flick) to be used with this app.

This is not an indication of this application’s risk. This shows the risk of all keyboard applications. It is displayed when a keyboard application, which wasn’t previously installed, is installed and activated.

In this application, just setting up does not send any text and any private data.

Under the enabled AI prediction, text will be sent to AI of IO Inc, AI running on servers in Japan. Only AI uses the text to predict candidates and deletes the text after the process as soon as possible. These processes runs only in Japan.

======================================================

The programming behind flick is based on mozc (https://github.com/google/mozc), an open source software.
