UniTesters is a work application for people who test mobile apps for our clients. It is not a consumer product: you use it because you have been recruited as a tester, a supervisor, or an owner of a testing organisation.
This policy explains what we hold about you, why, and what you can do about it. It is written against what the application actually stores, not a template.
UniTesters, operated by Jas Salazar, Philippines.
Contact for any privacy question or request: micarinderia@gmail.com
We process personal data under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173). If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you may complain to the National Privacy Commission.
Testing work is paid, so the application refuses to create a tester profile for anyone who does not confirm they are 18 or older. This is enforced in the database, not only in the interface. We do not knowingly hold data about children. If you believe we do, write to us and we will delete it.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Name | So your supervisor and your client report know whose work is whose |
| Email address and password | Signing in. Passwords are stored only as a cryptographic hash — we cannot read yours |
| Google account address | Google Play closed testing works by adding this address to the client's tester group. Without it you cannot be staffed on Play Store work |
| Phone number (optional) | So your supervisor can reach you |
| Time zone and language | Working out when your testing day opens and closes |
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Date of birth (optional) | Confirming eligibility for paid work |
| Phone brand, model and OS version; whether you have a computer; internet quality | Matching you to projects. A client testing on Android 15 needs testers who have it |
| School, course, occupation, languages, availability (optional) | Matching you to projects that suit you |
| Prior experience and motivation (optional) | Reviewing your application |
| Facebook profile link (optional) | Confirming you are a real person during recruitment |
| E-wallet provider, account name and number | Paying you. The number and account name are encrypted in our database; only the last four digits are stored in readable form so you can recognise your own account |
| Screenshots you submit (up to five a day) | Proof of your daily testing. These are shown to your supervisor and may be provided to the client as evidence |
| Screen recordings you choose to attach to a bug report (optional, up to 30 seconds) | Showing a fault that a still picture cannot — a crash, a freeze, something that only happens while the screen is moving. Shown to your supervisor and may be provided to the client as evidence. See the warning below |
| Your checklist answers, notes and bug reports | This is the work product. It is what the client is paying for |
| A device fingerprint (make, model, OS — not a hardware serial) and app version | Detecting one person submitting for several accounts. This is fraud prevention, and it protects honest testers from being undercut |
| Push notification token | Telling you when a testing day opens or your work was reviewed |
| Reliability score and history | Deciding who to invite to future work |
We do not collect your location, contacts, calendar, messages, browsing history, health data, or a list of the other apps on your phone. We do not use advertising identifiers. The application contains no advertising SDK, no analytics SDK, and no third-party tracking of any kind.
Your supervisor and the organisation's owner can see your profile, your submissions and your record. Other testers cannot: the database restricts every query by row, so a tester can read their own work and nobody else's.
| Who | What for |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, authentication and file storage. Data is held on their infrastructure on our behalf |
| Expo | Delivering push notifications to your device |
| Google Play / Apple | Distributing the application itself |
These are processors acting on our instructions. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone for their own purposes.
Your profile is kept while you are on our roster. Submissions, screenshots and bug reports are kept for as long as the client may reasonably need to rely on them, and in any case for the duration of the engagement plus a reasonable period for disputes about work delivered and payments made.
Screen recordings are kept only while the defect they belong to is open, and are deleted once it is closed or the engagement ends, whichever comes first. They are the most revealing thing we hold and the least often needed twice.
Records of payments made to you are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require, even after your account is deleted. These are retained in a minimised form that does not include your e-wallet number.
Under the Data Privacy Act you may ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, object to how we use it, or ask us to delete it. Two of these are built into the application and do not require you to ask anyone:
You can also simply write to micarinderia@gmail.com and we will action it. We aim to respond within fifteen days.
Deleting your account does not withdraw work already delivered to a client, as that evidence was pseudonymous when it was delivered and cannot be traced back to you from the client's copy.
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects what we do with your data, we will tell you in the application.
