PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is our priority. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our platform. We're committed to transparency and your data security.
Overview
12 Testers – Testers Community is a revolutionary platform that connects app developers and testers, enabling curated closed-testing workflows, feedback collection, and token-based rewards. We take your privacy seriously.
This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how you can control it. Our platform is designed with privacy in mind, and we're committed to protecting your personal data.
Personal Data
Collected only when you provide it (name, email, profile settings).
Device & Logs
Automatically collected for stability and analytics (device model, OS, logs).
Payments
Handled by Google Play Billing — we do not store card data.
Third Parties
We use Firebase, AdMob and other services under their own policies.
What Data We Collect
A. Account & Profile
When you sign up we may collect details you submit, such as name, email address, avatar selection, and optional profile fields. These are used to enable features, identify accounts, and provide support.
B. Device, Logs & Diagnostics
To ensure reliability and debug issues we collect technical details: device model, OS version, IP address, crash logs, and analytics events (screens visited, clicks). This helps us improve the platform and fix problems faster.
C. Testing Activity & Rewards
Because the platform is centered on testing, we log tester actions relevant to rewards: when a tester opens an app, installs via Play Store link, submits feedback, or claims tokens. This information is used only to track eligibility for token rewards and audit test completion.
D. Media & Group Links
If you upload an app icon, screenshot, or attach files, we store them in secure cloud storage. When a developer includes a Google Group URL or Play Store test link, we store that link as part of the app listing.
How We Use Collected Data
We process data to provide, improve, and protect our services:
Account Management
Create and maintain your account and preferences for seamless platform access.
Testing Operations
Deliver testing tasks, process test completions, and credit tokens accurately.
Security & Fraud Prevention
Prevent abuse and fraud (for example, fake installs or automated claims).
Platform Improvement
Improve the product via analytics and crash reporting for better user experience.
What We Don't Do
- We do not sell your personal data to third parties
- We do not use your data for purposes unrelated to our platform
- We do not share your data without your consent (except as required by law)
Third Parties & Integrations
We use reputable services to deliver features and infrastructure. Each maintains its own privacy policy — please review them to understand their data practices.
Firebase Services
Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Remote Config — for authentication, realtime database, functions that credit tokens and send notifications.
Google AdMob
For monetization. Ads may use device identifiers for personalized ads unless you opt out through your device settings.
Google Play Billing
For purchases and subscription handling. Payment data (cards) is handled by Google Play and is never stored on our servers.
Crashlytics & Analytics
Aggregated crash and usage data to improve stability, performance, and user experience.

Delete Your Account
Email nadeemgamer180@gmail.com to request complete account removal. We will confirm and attempt to honor deletion requests within 30 days subject to legal obligations and audit logs needed for fraud prevention.
24-Hour Auto-Deletion Rule
Summary
To ensure freshness of listings and limit stale/test data, any app listing published by a developer to the platform is visible publicly on the Home feed for up to 24 hours from the time of publication. After 24 hours the listing and its public test entry are automatically removed from the public Home feed.
This auto-deletion is an automatic platform action and applies to the public listing only; audit logs required for fraud prevention and internal records are retained as described above.
Why We Auto-Delete
Auto-deletion keeps the Home feed current and gives recent uploads priority. It prevents the feed from becoming overcrowded with old or outdated test listings.
What Gets Removed
- Public listing on Home feed
- Download/test access links
- Uploaded media from public serving
Account Safety
Important: Auto-deletion only affects the public visibility of an app listing. Developer accounts, user accounts, and the core stored profile data remain intact unless the developer or user requests full deletion.
Manual Deletion
Developers can remove or unpublish their own listing through the dashboard at any time. The automatic removal after 24 hours is an additional safeguard.
Token Protection
Auto-deletion does not reverse or invalidate previously awarded tokens or recorded test completions. All earned tokens remain in your account.
Need Longer Visibility?
If you need a listing to remain visible longer than 24 hours, contact support at nadeemgamer180@gmail.com. Support will review legitimate requests and may allow exceptions in special cases.
Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security best-practices to protect your data:
Security Note: Despite our precautions, no system is 100% immune. In the unlikely event of a breach, we will follow applicable law to notify affected users and regulators.
