Privacy Policy
SkillDrill ("the App") is developed by an independent developer ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the App and its website collect, why, and how you can delete it. In short: you need an account to use the App, so we keep your email address, name and years of experience with Google Firebase. Your practice progress, notes and bookmarks stay on your device. Ads are served by Google AdMob. You can delete your account at any time from inside the App.
Data we collect
Your account. To use the App you create an account with your email address and a password, or sign in with your Google account. We store:
- your email address and name (with Google sign-in, these come from your Google account);
- a unique account ID created by Firebase;
- whether you have verified your email address;
- the number of years of work experience you enter, which we use to choose the right content level for you.
Your password is handled by Firebase Authentication and is never visible to us. Account data is stored with Google Firebase (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore, provided by Google LLC) so that you can sign in on another device. Only you, while signed in with a verified email address, can read or change your profile record.
Emails we send. Firebase sends you an email to verify your address, and a password reset email if you ask for one. We do not send marketing email.
Practice progress (on-device only). Your selected courses and level, answer history, weak-topic ranking, lesson scores, streaks, mock interview results, bookmarks, mastered questions, personal notes and review queue are stored only on your device. They are never sent to us. They are removed when you delete your account or uninstall the App.
Free-text answers. Answers you type into the "explain it back" self-check are checked against a keyword list on your device. They are never sent anywhere.
Advertising data. The App shows ads through Google AdMob. AdMob and its partners may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), approximate location and app usage data to show and measure ads. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you are asked for consent with a Google consent form before this happens. You can decline; the App works fully either way and you see non-personalised ads. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy Options. Google's use of this data is described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Usage analytics. The App contains optional, anonymous usage analytics, but analytics is switched off in the current version and no analytics data is collected. If we switch it on in a future version, we will update this policy first, name the provider, and give you the choice to turn it off in Settings.
Settings file and app updates. When the App starts it may download a small public settings file (used, for example, to pause ads or show a service notice) and check Expo's update service for a newer version of the App's code. These are ordinary downloads, so the servers involved see your IP address and basic technical details such as the App version and platform. They do not include your account or practice data.
Notifications. If you turn on reminders in Settings, they are scheduled on your device. No data leaves your device to send them.
"Report this question." This opens your own email app with a draft addressed to us. Nothing is sent unless you send that email yourself.
Website. Our web pages (this policy, the account-deletion page and the app's home page) are hosted on GitHub Pages, provided by GitHub, Inc. They set no tracking cookies and run no analytics. Like any web host, GitHub may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and operations.
How we use data
- To create and run your account, verify your email and let you sign in on any device.
- To choose the content level that matches your experience.
- To show ads that keep the App free.
- To answer you when you contact us.
We do not sell your data, and we do not use your account data for advertising.
Who we share data with
- Google Firebase stores your account and profile on our behalf.
- Google AdMob receives the advertising data described above.
- Expo (the App's update service) receives the technical details of update checks.
We do not share your data with anyone else, except where the law requires it.
How long we keep data
- Account data (email, name, account ID, years of experience) is kept until you delete your account. When you delete it, we delete your account and profile immediately. Google may keep residual copies in its systems for a limited period under its own deletion policies.
- Practice data on your device is kept until you delete your account or uninstall the App.
- Advertising data is kept by Google according to Google's own policies.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time:
- In the App: Settings → Delete account. You confirm with your password (or your Google account), and your account, profile and on-device data are deleted.
- Without the App: email us at the address below from the email address on your account, and we will delete your account and profile within 30 days. Instructions are also on our account-deletion page (/delete-account on this website).
Children's privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Data between the App and our services is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to profile records is limited to the signed-in account owner by database security rules.
Your rights and choices
- Delete your account: see "Deleting your account" above.
- Ad consent: Settings → Privacy Options.
- Notifications: turn reminders on or off and choose times and days in Settings.
- Access or correct your data: your name and experience are shown in Settings; contact us for anything else.
Depending on where you live (for example in the EEA or UK), you may have further rights, such as access, correction, deletion, restriction and objection. Contact us to use them.
