Read full descriptionHide full description
SkinTracker is an app for tracking your skin outbreaks. It allows you to answer questions like "Is my skin really improving?" or "Which area of my face is most affected?" A recording in this app refers to a date, a time of day, and a set of spot counts for different areas of the face (the app also supports recording counts for your shoulders, arms, torso and legs). Data Privacy: No recording data from this app ever leaves your device. Here is the information we do collect, and why: - Buttons taps: We want to know which buttons are useful. For example, does anybody (apart from me, the developer) tap the button to export their data? Enable notifications? Update recordings after initially creating them? - Time of day you use the app: We want to know when people are using the app. For example, what time to people usually make recordings? Does anybody use the app in the middle of the day? When they do, are they making a recording, or just looking at charts? - Feedback from the feedback box: If you choose to send us feedback (yay! thank you!) then we do indeed get that information. The analytics data we collect includes your device id, so we can understand more complicated usage patterns. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us by following the app's support URL.
