Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 23, 2026

BoostSkill ("we", "our", or "us") operates the BoostSkill mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

1. Information Collection and Use

On-Device Local Data Storage

BoostSkill values your privacy and keeps your data under your control.

Focus Data & Skills: All of your created skills, focus session logs, schedules, and daily progress metrics are stored strictly locally on your device in an encrypted SQLite database.
Gem Economy & Progress: Virtual rewards, gems, unlocked profiles, and settings are saved on your local device storage.
No Account Required: You can use all core features of the App without creating an account or providing an email address, name, or phone number.
Transmission: We do not transmit, upload, or sync your personal focus statistics, skill names, or productivity data to any external servers.

Device Permissions Requested

To function correctly, the App requires the following system permissions:

Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used to trigger alerts when your focus session or break timer completes, and to send daily study reminders.
Exact Alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM): Required on Android devices to ensure focus end-times and break reminders trigger at the precise micro-second, preventing the OS from delaying notifications under battery-saving modes.
Media Library / Photos Access: Used exclusively to allow you to save your custom "Certificate of Mastery" achievement images directly to your device's photo gallery.

Certificates of Mastery Disclaimer

The "Certificate of Mastery" images generated by the App are created locally on your device. These certificates are gamified progress-tracking rewards and hold no academic, professional, or official certification value. No personal information or credential status is transmitted or stored on external servers to create these certificates.

Error and Data Loss Notice

Because BoostSkill operates strictly on local storage (SQLite database), any device errors, app crashes, database corruption, storage clearance, or accidental uninstallation can lead to permanent data loss. We do not host backups on external servers, and we cannot recover lost data in the event of such technical errors.

2. Third-Party Services, Advertisements & Consent

Our App integrates third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements.

Google AdMob may collect and use device-specific data, including:

Your device's Advertising ID (such as Google Advertising ID on Android or IDFA on iOS).
Device identifiers, OS version, and network provider info.
Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks).

Ad Consent & Opt-Out

We comply with Google's EU User Consent Policy and other regional privacy regulations.

EEA/UK Users: When opening the App, you will be presented with a Consent Screen (using a Google-certified Consent Management Platform). You can choose to consent to personalized advertisements, agree only to non-personalized advertisements, or manage your granular vendor preferences. You can update or withdraw your consent choice at any time.
Opting Out via Device Settings: You can completely disable personalized ads or reset your advertising identifier directly from your mobile device system settings (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android, or "Limit Ad Tracking" / "Allow Apps to Request to Track" on iOS).

3. Regional and Country-Specific Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)

Depending on your region, you have specific legal rights regarding the data collected or processed when using the App.

A. European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom (UK) — GDPR & UK GDPR Compliance

Under GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right of Access / Portability: Since all of your app data is stored locally in an SQLite database on your device, you have full access to it. You can export your entire database at any time using the "Export Data" feature in the settings screen.
Right to Rectification & Deletion: You can edit or delete any skill or focus log directly in the App, or completely wipe all of your data at any time via the "Delete Account & Data" option in settings, or by uninstalling the App.
Right to Withdraw Consent for Ads: You can withdraw your consent for personalized ads at any time through the Ad Consent settings within the App, or through your device's system settings.
Legal Basis for Processing: BoostSkill operates local-first and does not process your personal data on external servers. Third-party advertisements served via Google AdMob process advertising IDs based on your explicit consent (which you can grant or deny via the consent popup when you open the App).

B. United States — California (CCPA / CPRA Compliance)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the following rights:

Right to Know and Access: You can review the category of data collected (which, for our core services, is zero server data, and for AdMob, includes advertising identifiers and device diagnostics).
Right to Request Deletion: You can delete all your stored data via the Settings panel or by uninstalling the App.
Right to Opt-Out of the "Sale" or "Sharing" of Personal Information: Sharing advertising identifiers with third-party ad networks like Google AdMob to deliver personalized ads may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under California law. You can opt out of personalized ads by managing your ad consent preferences within the App or by disabling tracking in your device's system settings.
Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights.

C. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and GDPR-K.

The App is not structured to attract children under the age of 13.
If you are under 13 years of age, you must not use this App.
For users in jurisdictions requiring parental consent under the age of 16 (or 13 depending on country-specific implementation of GDPR-K), we request non-personalized ads through AdMob settings and do not collect tracking information.

4. Data Deletion and Retention

Since all of your data is stored locally on your device, we do not retain your data on any server.

Wiping Data: You can clear all of your focus history, database, and gems at any time using the "Delete Account & Data" option in the Settings screen.
Uninstalling the App: Uninstalling BoostSkill from your device will automatically delete all stored SQLite databases, settings, and progress records permanently. This action cannot be undone.

5. Children’s Privacy Policy Note

In addition to our general children's compliance: because all core user data is stored locally on the device, we do not have access to any data that could identify a child. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can investigate.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
