Skilltrail privacy policy

Last updated 6 November 2026. Skilltrail is made by Gila Dynamics LLC. This page says what the app stores, where it goes, and how to remove it.

Without an account

You can use Skilltrail without signing in. Your skills, levels, notes, evidence links, points and score history are then stored only on your device.

With an account

If you sign in with Apple, Google or an email and password, we store your email address and sign-in details with Firebase Authentication, and a copy of your passport in Google Cloud Firestore so it can sync between your devices. With Sign in with Apple you can choose to hide your email address.

What stays on your device

What you type into Find my skills is read on your device, using its built-in AI where available or a skills list otherwise. A LinkedIn profile PDF you import is also read on your device. Neither is uploaded. Only the skills you choose to keep are added to your passport.

Goals and suggestions

Your goals are stored with your passport: on this device, and in your account if you sign in. If your phone has built-in AI, it suggests goals on the device. To do that the app downloads a public list of skills and certifications from our site, and sends nothing about you to fetch it.

What you choose to share

Read-only links. If you create one, anyone with the link can read your name, headline, goal, skills, levels, points and, if shown, your score and target role. Notes and evidence are never included. You can turn a link off in Settings.

Community comparison. If you join, we store your target role and a 100-point score range, without your name or skills. The entry is tied to your account by a one-way code so it can be updated and removed. You can leave in Settings.

Advertising

The phone apps show ads from Google AdMob once you have a score. We request non-personalized ads only and do not ask to track you. Google may still process device and usage data to deliver ads, limit how often they appear and prevent fraud. Nothing about your skills, role or score is sent to advertisers. See how Google uses data.

Usage counts and crash reports

These are off until you turn on Help improve Skilltrail in Settings. They then go to Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, and never include your skills, role, score or notes. You can turn them off at any time.

Deleting your data

In the app, open Passport, then Account and settings, then Delete account. This removes your account, cloud passport, read-only links and community entry. Start over clears your passport and keeps the account. Removing the app clears what is on your device. Without the app, see how to ask us to delete your account.

Children

Skilltrail is not meant for children under 16.
