Data Storage & Security
Your creative work belongs to you. We implement appropriate security measures to protect your project information and personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
Local Storage: By default, most of your project data is stored locally on your device. This means you have direct control over your information.
If you choose to back up your data through your device's built-in backup system, your data will be handled according to that backup service's privacy practices. We don't store your backup data on our servers.
No method of electronic storage is100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we follow industry-standard practices to protect your personal project information.
Your Rights & Choices
You have control over your data at all times:
Access & Update
You can edit or update your project information, photos, and notes directly within the app at any time.
Delete Your Data
You can delete individual projects or all your data from the app whenever you want.
Export Your Content
You can export visual reports of your finished projects to your device's photo library at any time.
Privacy Controls
Adjust your privacy settings directly through the settings menu in the app.
In-App Store & Additional Features
Skil includes an in-app store where you can purchase additional features. When you make a purchase through the in-app store:
- Payment processing is handled by your device's platform provider (app store) and is subject to their privacy policy.
- We don't collect or store your full payment card information on our systems.
- We receive confirmation of your purchase and may keep records of which additional features you've purchased to provide you with ongoing access.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time as we add new features or change our practices. When we make changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes. Changes become effective when they're posted on this page.
