Introduction
Welcome to Skills UP VG ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle information when you use our mobile application ("App").
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily
Error Notifications
When you report a phrase error, we collect only the phrase ID and current phrase content. Users cannot enter custom text. No account is required.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
Technical Data: device type, OS version, app version, and device or other identifiers (app-instance / installation IDs; advertising ID where ads are shown).
Local notification preferences stay on-device only.
Crash reports (Sentry): crash info, app/OS version, device or other identifiers, diagnostics.
Analytics (Firebase Analytics): screens/features, sessions, technical context, device or other identifiers, approximate country if provided by Google. Anonymous β not linked to your name or email.
Advertising (Google AdMob / mediation partners): advertising ID and other device identifiers, plus technical data to request, show, and measure ads. Consent form where required (e.g. EEA/UK). You can reset/limit advertising ID in device settings.
App updates: Firebase Remote Config and Google Play may use device or other identifiers for version checks.
1.3 Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect name, email, phone, GPS, contacts, photos/files, financial data, health data, or message content.
