Privacy Policy

The short version: Skimra does its work on your device. The screenshots and recordings you edit are never uploaded anywhere. The app has no ads and no advertising or behavioural-tracking SDKs. You can use it fully without an account. It does report its own crashes, it counts anonymous usage statistics so we know which features are worth keeping, and if you choose to sign in it shares your email with our purchase provider — all three are described below.

What Skimra does not collect

• Your screenshots, recordings, photos, and exports are processed entirely on your device and never leave it through Skimra. This holds even when the app crashes: our crash reporter is explicitly configured never to attach a screenshot or a copy of the on-screen view.
• The app contains no advertising, and no advertising or behavioural-tracking SDKs. We do not profile you, and we do not sell or share data with anyone for marketing.
• We run no server of our own. The only places anything goes are the named third parties below, each for a single stated purpose.

Optional sign-in

Skimra works without an account. Signing in (with Apple or Google) exists for exactly one purpose: to key your one-time unlock to a stable identity so the purchase follows you across devices and platforms.

• Sign-in is handled by Firebase Authentication (Google LLC). We receive the identifier your provider shares, typically an email address and a user ID. With Sign in with Apple you can hide your email, and Skimra works exactly the same if you do.
• The resulting user ID and your email address are passed to RevenueCat (see below) so your unlock can be restored on any device where you sign in, and so we can find your purchase if you ever write to support about it. If your email is hidden, only the user ID is sent.
• We use this identity for nothing else: no newsletters, no marketing, no profiling.

Purchases

Payment is processed by Apple's App Store (or Google Play); Skimra never sees your payment details. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and manage the unlock entitlement. RevenueCat receives purchase receipts and an app user ID, either an anonymous one or, if you signed in, the ID described above.

Its SDK also sends a device identifier with each request: on Apple platforms the vendor identifier, an ID the system assigns to this device for our apps alone. It cannot be used to follow you into anybody else's app, and it is reset if you delete Skimra. We do not use it for advertising, we do not link it to third-party data, and we could not build a profile from it if we wanted to — it exists so a purchase can be matched to the device that made it.

If you signed in and your email address is visible to us, it is stored alongside your purchase at RevenueCat. This is what lets us answer "I paid and it won't restore" — without it, the only handle on a purchase is a long random ID that nobody can be expected to know. It is used for support and nothing else. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

Crash reporting

Skimra uses Sentry to report its own crashes and performance problems, so that a bug that ruins an export can be found and fixed. Sentry receives the error, the code path that produced it, and technical details of the device and app version.

What it deliberately does not receive: screenshots, a copy of the on-screen view, your file paths, your device name, or any of the content you are working on. Skimra's canvas is often somebody's unreleased app, and attaching a picture of it to a crash report would carry an unannounced design off your device. The SDK's screenshot, view-hierarchy, and personal-data options are all switched off in the app's source. See Sentry's privacy policy.

Usage analytics

Skimra uses TelemetryDeck to count how the app is used — how many people export something, whether the export succeeded or failed, and which parts of the app are worth keeping. Without it we are guessing, and guessing tends to mean removing the feature somebody depended on.

TelemetryDeck is built so that this can be done without identifying you. It is not an advertising or behavioural-tracking service: it does not follow you between apps or websites, it does not build a profile of you, and it is not used for marketing. You are counted using an identifier its SDK generates for this installation of this app on this device — not your name, not your email, not your Apple or Google account, not a device serial number. That identifier is hashed on your device before it is sent, and hashed again with TelemetryDeck's own secret salt when it arrives, so that neither we nor TelemetryDeck can work backwards from it to you. We never send TelemetryDeck your name, your email, or your account ID — even if you signed in.

What a signal contains is the shape of what happened, never the content: that an export ran, in what format, on a canvas of what size, with how many devices on it, and how long it took — plus technical details of the device model, OS, and app version. What it never contains: your screenshots or recordings, your file paths, your filenames, your project names, or the text of an error message (an error message can quote a file path, so we send only the type of failure). See TelemetryDeck's privacy policy.

This website

skimra.app uses a self-hosted instance of Umami for anonymous, cookie-free page statistics (page views, referrers, country-level region, browser type). No cookies are set, no personal profiles are built, and no data is shared with third parties.

Deleting your data

If you never signed in, there is nothing to delete; your content lives only on your device.

If you did sign in, you can delete your account from inside the app — About → Delete account — which removes your authentication record. You can also contact support@skimra.app and we will delete that record along with the entitlement mapping and the email address held at RevenueCat. A purchase you have already made is separate: it belongs to your App Store or Google Play account and can always be restored, with or without a Skimra account.

Children

Skimra is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
