Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and what choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Account and profile information

When you create or manage an account, we may collect:

• username
• display name
• email address
• password credentials and related authentication tokens
• optional profile photo
• trust and reputation-related profile fields generated by the service

Listings and testing workflow information

When you publish or manage app listings, we may collect:

• app name
• package name
• testing link
• category
• description
• tester goal
• access type
• contact email
• Google Group URL
• access instructions
• SDK configuration details such as handoff URI and signer fingerprints
• optional app icon and listing screenshot

Messages and user-generated content

When you use communication or moderation features, we may collect:

• direct chat messages
• report submissions, including reasons and optional details
• confirmation notes and access-related responses
• block list and chat privacy settings

Activity, notifications, and service usage data

When you use Dev Test Hub, we may collect:

• claim, access, and confirmation events
• listing activity and status changes
• notification history and preferences
• reward and entitlement activity
• profile and reputation state derived from participation in the service
• chat thread activity
• moderation and abuse-handling records

Device, network, and security information

We may collect technical data needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service, such as:

• IP address
• user agent information
• session and refresh tokens
• notification preference state
• network state information
• external install IDs and SDK bridge tokens
• device fingerprint values used for anti-abuse or fraud detection in supported flows

SDK-related verification data

If a listing uses the Dev Test Hub SDK, Dev Test Hub may collect or receive activity associated with that integration, including app registration events, claim activation events, foreground session start and end times, session duration, optional custom event or feedback signals sent by the integrated app, and activity associated with external-source installations for SDK-enabled apps. This data is used to support verification views, tester insights, and related workflow features.

Data stored on your device

The Android app may store certain data locally on your device, including sign-in session data, notification preferences, chat and privacy preferences cached by the app, and saved login credentials if you explicitly enable remembered login.

In the current Android implementation, remembered login credentials are stored using encrypted shared preferences. Other app preferences and session state may be stored through Android DataStore. Depending on Android version and device settings, some locally stored app data may also be included in Android backup or device transfer features.

Photos and media you choose to upload

If you choose a profile photo, app icon, or screenshot from your device, the app may process that image locally, resize it, and upload it to Dev Test Hub as image data for use in your profile or listing.

Rewarded ads

The app includes rewarded ads through Google Mobile Ads. Google and its partners may collect data through that SDK subject to their own policies and disclosures. This may include device or advertising identifiers, app interaction data, and diagnostics related to ad delivery, fraud prevention, and measurement.

2. How We Use Information

We use information we collect to:

• create and manage accounts
• authenticate users and maintain sessions
• let users publish, discover, and manage testing listings
• coordinate testing access and confirmations
• enable direct messaging between users
• deliver in-app and Android notifications
• compute reputation, trust, participation, and related service metrics
• provide SDK-backed verification, tester insights, and activity views for supported listings
• grant rewards and unlock related product features
• investigate abuse, fraud, policy violations, and reports
• maintain service security, performance, and reliability
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms

3. Why The App Requests Certain Android Permissions And Access

Internet and network state

These are used to connect to the Dev Test Hub backend and real-time services.

Notifications, foreground service, and boot completed

These are used to deliver Android notifications and, when enabled, restart background notification handling after reboot or app update so users can continue receiving relevant updates.

4. How Information Is Shared

With other users

Certain profile, listing, and interaction information is visible to other users as part of the service, including display name and profile photo, public profile information, listings you publish, direct messages sent to intended recipients, and reputation and trust-related information surfaced by the app.

With service providers and infrastructure providers

We may use hosting, database, network, security, or support providers that process information on our behalf to operate the service.

With Google Mobile Ads

If you use rewarded ad features, information may be processed by Google Mobile Ads and related services in connection with ad delivery, reward flow, anti-fraud, and measurement.

For safety, legal, and enforcement reasons

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect users, the service, or the public, investigate abuse, fraud, or security incidents, or enforce our policies or terms.

We do not state in this policy that we sell personal information.

5. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to operate the service, maintain account functionality, support safety and abuse review, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data. For example, account and profile data are generally retained while the account remains active; messages, reports, moderation records, notifications, and workflow history may be retained as needed for service integrity and abuse prevention; local saved-login data remains on the device until cleared by the user or removed by uninstalling or clearing app data; and logs and backups may persist for a limited period after deletion.

6. Your Choices And Controls

Depending on how you use Dev Test Hub, you may be able to edit your username, email address, password, and profile photo, clear your saved login from the device, change Android notification settings and category preferences, change chat privacy settings, block or unblock users, remove profile or listing media you uploaded, and delete your account through the app.

The app includes an in-app account deletion path. If you delete your account, Dev Test Hub is intended to remove your profile and associated account data from active service use, subject to retained data needed for legal compliance, abuse prevention, dispute handling, or backup restoration windows.

7. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information. Examples in the current implementation include encrypted local storage for remembered login credentials on Android, authenticated API requests using session tokens, and production endpoint configuration that uses HTTPS and secure WebSocket connections.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

Dev Test Hub is not intended for children under 13, or the minimum digital age required by local law. If you believe a child has provided personal information in violation of applicable law, contact us so we can review and respond.

9. International Processing

Your information may be processed in the countries where our servers, infrastructure providers, or service providers operate. By using the service, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed outside your place of residence, subject to applicable law.

10. Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the effective date and provide additional notice where appropriate.
