Do I Need an Account to Use a Flash Effect App?
It varies. Many apps let you try a restyle without a full account, using an anonymous device identity, and only ask you to sign in when you subscribe or buy credits. Check the app's privacy policy for how uploaded photos are handled.
What an account is for
Usually two things: tying a subscription or credit balance to you so it works across devices, and letting you recover purchases. The restyling itself doesn't need to know who you are.
Photo privacy
The thing that matters more than accounts: does the app keep your uploaded photos, and does it claim any license to them? A good policy processes the photo to generate your result and doesn't retain it or use it for training. Flash Effect's approach is in its privacy policy.
Flash Effect specifically
It uses an anonymous identity by default — you can start restyling without creating a named account, and sign-in is only involved for purchases and restore.

Should I use an app that has no privacy policy?
No — for anything you upload photos to, a clear privacy policy is the minimum. If you can't find one, don't upload photos of yourself or others.
