Your privacy is an absolute priority for TestersHub: Testers Community. This policy transparently describes how we collect, use, and protect your data across both our web platform and mobile application.
1. Information Collection
For the mutual aid community to function properly, we collect the following data:
- Registration Information: Full name, email address, and profile picture.
- Activity Data: Records of apps you have tested, submitted testing evidence (screenshots), feedback comments, and points history.
- Device Data (App): Anonymous device identifiers for ad serving purposes and the operation of the notification system.
2. Data Usage and Purpose
Your data is processed for the following purposes:
- Points System Management: Validating your participation in tests so you can accumulate and spend credits to publish your own apps.
- Compliance with Google Rules: Monitoring and verifying the progress of the 14-day testing period required by the Google Play Store.
- Communication: Sending alerts about your testing status, approvals, rejections, and community activity summaries.
3. Advertising and Ads (AdMob)
Our Android application uses the Google AdMob service to display ads, which allows us to keep the platform free for developers.
- AdMob may collect and use anonymous data (such as the device's advertising ID) to serve ads relevant to the user's profile.
- This information is handled directly by Google, following its advertising network privacy policies.
4. Push Notifications
The app uses real-time notifications to keep you updated on important interactions (e.g., when your test is approved).
- User Control: You have full freedom to accept or decline receiving notifications.
- This preference can be changed at any time in the Android system settings or within the app menu.
5. Information Sharing
- No Commercialization: We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or external advertising purposes.
- Community Display: Your username and profile picture are visible to other members solely for identification in activity feeds and help leaderboards.
6. Security and Retention
We implement security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access. Your data remains in our database for as long as your account is active. You may request account deactivation at any time through your dashboard settings.
7. Consent
By using the website or application, you agree to the terms described in this policy. We reserve the right to update this document as new features are implemented.
