Privacy Policy
TestFlock ("we", "our", or "us") operates the TestFlock mobile application and the website at jointestflock.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.
Information we collect
- Account information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from your Google account.
- App listing data: App names, descriptions, categories, testing links, and instructions you provide when listing apps.
- Usage data for check-ins: To verify daily check-ins, the app may access app usage statistics on your device (with your permission) to confirm you opened a test app for the required duration. We do not collect content from other apps.
- Feedback and engagement: Check-in records, feedback text, egg balances (plain and golden eggs), flock and FlyMate relationships.
- Technical data: Device type, operating system version, and crash logs to improve app stability.
How we use your information
- Provide and maintain the TestFlock beta testing service
- Verify daily check-ins and display progress to flock members
- Enable feedback exchange between developers and testers
- Calculate plain egg and golden egg reputation scores
- Send service-related communications
- Improve our app and website
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only:
- With other TestFlock users as needed for testing (e.g., your display name and app listings within flocks)
- With service providers (e.g., Firebase/Google Cloud) who process data on our behalf
- When required by law or to protect our rights
Data retention
We retain your data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data as described below.
Requesting deletion of your data
You can request deletion of your TestFlock account and the personal data we hold about you at any time. We provide two ways to do this:
Delete in the app
If you are signed in to TestFlock on Android:
- Open the app and tap the settings icon in the top-right corner to open My Nest.
- Scroll to the Account section.
- Tap Delete account and confirm.
Deletion is immediate. You are signed out and your account is permanently removed.
Request deletion from outside the app
If you cannot access the app, email us from the Google account address linked to your TestFlock profile:
Use the subject line TestFlock account deletion request. We will verify ownership and delete your account within 30 days, usually sooner.
Full step-by-step instructions are on our account deletion page.
Data that is deleted
When your account is deleted, we remove:
- Your TestFlock profile (name, email address, profile photo, and egg balances)
- Your app listings, uploaded app icons, and listing details
- Your notifications and push notification tokens
- FlyMate requests where you are a participant
- Your Firebase Authentication sign-in record
Data that may be retained
Some information may remain after deletion:
- Historical flock or testing records that other developers rely on (for example, completed check-in rollups on their apps) may keep de-identified entries without your profile or contact details.
- Server logs and security backups may be retained for a limited period and are automatically purged according to our hosting provider’s retention schedules.
When deletion is temporarily unavailable
You cannot delete your account while you have an app in a flock that is still filling, in an active flock test, or in an active FlyMate pairing. Finish or leave those testing commitments first, then delete your account from My Nest or email support.
Security
We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections and Firebase security rules. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
Children's privacy
TestFlock is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. To delete your account and associated data, use the in-app flow or email request described in Requesting deletion of your data above. For other requests (access, correction, or export), contact us at support@jointestflock.com.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated date.
