Open Flashlight in F-Droid is open source and GPL. You can verify that it respects your privacy.

But the flashlight in the data harvesting debacle requested your location. It didn't somehow fetch data that your didn't authorize it to get.
You can just install a flashlight app that only asks for the permission it needs.
