  2. HYPNOTIK FX 5-in-1 PWM controller (X-Pro Controller [5-in-1, Wi-Fi])

The App is derived from the open-source WLED mobile application (https://github.com/Moustachauve/WLED-Android) Connect your Github account and is used to discover and control Hypnotik FX lighting controllers over a local Wi-Fi network.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

The App does not require user registration, login, or the creation of any account. We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information or personally identifiable information (PII) from users of the App. Specifically, we do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, location data, device identifiers, usage analytics, crash reports, cookies, or any other form of personal data.

The App operates entirely on the user's local network to communicate with compatible Hypnotik FX lighting devices. No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers as part of the App's normal operation.

3. Local Network Access

The App requires access to your local Wi-Fi network solely for the purpose of discovering and communicating with Hypnotik FX lighting controllers on the same network. This communication occurs exclusively between the App and the lighting devices on your local network and does not involve any external servers or cloud services.

4. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, tracking, or data collection services. No data is shared with any third parties.

5. Open-Source Attribution

This App is derived from the WLED mobile application, an open-source project available on GitHub - Moustachauve/WLED-Android: Native Android application for WLED. Because the core architecture is built on this open-source framework, it inherently operates locally without cloud tracking.
