This Privacy Policy explains how Skincare Routine Tracker, also referred to as SkinGlow, “the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”, handles information when you use our mobile application.
Skincare Routine Tracker is designed to help users create personalized skincare routines, track daily skincare progress, manage reminders, complete skincare challenges, read skincare articles, and receive product suggestions. Your privacy is important to us, and this policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, and what choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide in the App
The App may allow you to provide skincare-related information so that it can generate a more personalized routine. This may include:

- Custom skincare routine steps created by you
- Daily skin condition check-ins
- Routine completion progress
- Challenge progress, streaks, completed days, and failed challenge status
This information is used to personalize your experience inside the App.
1.2 Photos Used in the Daily Skin Progress Challenge
If you participate in the Daily Skin Progress Challenge, the App may allow you to upload or capture skin progress photos using your device camera or gallery.
These photos are used only to show your visual skincare progress timeline inside the App. The App does not use these photos for identity verification, medical diagnosis, advertising profiling, or facial recognition.
1.3 Reminder and Notification Information
The App allows you to create reminders for skincare routine steps and challenges. Reminder information may include:
- Reminder times
- Reminder enabled or disabled status
- Routine step names associated with reminders
- Challenge reminder schedules
This information is used only to send skincare routine and challenge notifications on your device.
1.4 App Usage and Analytics
The App may use Firebase Analytics or similar analytics tools to understand general app usage, improve features, monitor performance, and identify issues. Analytics data may include general information such as:
- App opens
- Screen views
- Feature usage
- Device type
- Operating system version
- Crash or performance information
Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you personally.
1.5 Information from Third-Party Content
The App displays skincare articles from our website or blog. When the App loads articles, it may connect to external servers to retrieve article content, images, and links.
1.6 Product Recommendation Links
The App may show product suggestions based on your skincare routine. Some product links may be affiliate links, including Amazon affiliate links. If you tap these links, you may be taken to a third-party website or app. Those third-party services may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
2. How We Use Information
We use information in the App for the following purposes:
- To generate personalized morning and night skincare routines
- To save your skincare profile
- To track routine completion progress
- To manage skincare reminders and notifications
- To track skincare challenges, streaks, completed status, and failed status
- To show achievement badges and rewards
- To show your skin progress timeline if you upload photos
- To display skincare articles and educational content
- To provide product recommendations related to your routine
- To improve the App and understand general feature usage
- To detect and fix bugs, crashes, and performance issues
3. Local Storage on Your Device
Much of the information used by the App is stored locally on your device. This may include your skincare quiz results, routine progress, custom routines, reminder settings, challenge progress, achievement status, theme preferences, and daily check-ins.
Local data is used to keep your experience consistent when you close and reopen the App. If you uninstall the App or clear app data from your device settings, locally stored information may be deleted.
4. Camera and Gallery Access
The App may request access to your camera or photo gallery when you choose to add a skin progress photo. This access is used only for the photo-related feature you choose to use.
The App does not access your camera or gallery in the background. You control when a photo is taken or selected.
5. Notifications
The App may request notification permission so it can send skincare routine reminders, challenge reminders, daily skincare quotes, and challenge failure or completion-related notifications.
You can disable notifications at any time through your device settings or, where available, through the App’s reminder settings.
6. Challenge Data
The App includes challenges such as:
- Daily Skin Progress Challenge
- Hydration Boost Challenge
- Glass Skin Challenge
These challenges may track your progress, completed days, streaks, failed status, and unlocked rewards or badges. If you fail to maintain the required consistency for a challenge, the App may:
- Opt you out of the challenge
- Clear the challenge progress data
- Show a notification that the challenge has failed
- Show an alert when you reopen the App
7. Third-Party Services
The App may use or link to third-party services, including but not limited to:
- Firebase Analytics
- Google Play Store
- Amazon or other affiliate product pages
- External blog or article content
These third-party services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites, apps, or services.
8. Affiliate Disclosure
Some product recommendations in the App may contain affiliate links. This means we may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through those links, at no additional cost to you.
Product suggestions are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. You should review product ingredients, patch test new products, and consult a qualified professional if you have specific skin concerns.
