testSwap Privacy Policy

Information we collect

Account information

• Google account identifiers, including Google user ID, email address, display name, and profile photo, through Firebase Authentication.
• Google Play Console OAuth refresh tokens, stored encrypted, when you choose to connect Play Console so testSwap can verify that you own the Android app you submit.
• Time zone, used to calculate your local testing day.

App submission information

• Package name, app category, app listing details, Play opt-in link, and setup status for the Android app you submit to testSwap.
• Play Console verification status and Google Play Integrity signals used to confirm legitimate installs and reduce abuse.

Testing activity

• Task sessions, completed tasks, foreground-time measurements for peer apps during active testing sessions, screenshots you submit, and written feedback you provide.
• Screenshots and written feedback are shared with the developer whose app you tested.
• Device and network metadata incidental to API requests, such as IP address, operating system version, timestamps, and diagnostic information, for reliability, fraud prevention, and rate limiting.

Community and support activity

• testSwap group chat messages, direct messages, Verified Hub posts and comments, moderation reports, appeals, and support-related communications.
• Reputation scores, reputation event history, and safety signals used to operate the testing community.

Information we do not collect

• Advertising IDs.
• Payment card information.
• Cross-app activity outside an active testSwap testing session.

How we use information

• Create and manage testSwap accounts.
• Verify submitted apps and Play Console ownership.
• Match Android developers into testing groups.
• Track task completion and generate testing evidence.
• Share submitted feedback with the app developer receiving that feedback.
• Send notifications about testing tasks, group activity, account status, appeals, and service updates.
• Protect testSwap from fraud, unofficial installs, duplicate evidence, abuse, and policy violations.
• Improve reliability, diagnose errors, and respond to support requests.

Android permissions

• Google Sign-In identifies your account.
• Notifications are used for task reminders and account or group updates when enabled.
• Usage access is used only during an active testing session to measure foreground time for the specific peer app being tested.
• Foreground service access keeps an active test timer running.
• Play Integrity checks help verify that the app is running on a supported, trusted Android environment.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in the following limited situations:

• With the developer whose app you tested, when you submit screenshots or written feedback for that developer's app.
• With service providers that help operate authentication, hosting, storage, messaging, analytics, reliability, fraud prevention, moderation, and notifications.
• When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, testSwap, or others.

Data retention and deletion

• Account information and reputation records are kept while your account remains active.
• Screenshots and task feedback may be retained for up to 90 days after the related testing group ends.
