When I say “I”, “me”, “my” or “myself” in these Terms, I mean Sebastian Vogelsang.

I built the app “Skeets” (the app) as a commercial app. This SERVICE is provided by myself and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding my policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decided to use my Service.

If you choose to use the app, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that I collect is used for providing and improving the Service. I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which are accessible at https://www.skeetsapp.com/skeets-terms-and-conditions.

Information Collection and Use

When enabling Push Notifications within the app I may require you to provide me with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to the publicly available anonymous Bluesky ID and a Push Notification Token. The information that I request is transferred to a server hosted within the European Union (backend) and will be retained on the server as long as you wish to receive push notifications. The backend then uses the Push Notification Token and sends it (with a message to the user) to Apple’s APNS (Apple Push Notification Service), which in turn delivers it to the user’s device. Here is Apple’s Privacy Policy.
If you opt into the feature of receiving push notifications for users you have subscribed to I use your Bluesky ID and associate it with the user’s Bluesky ID that you wish to subscribe to.

If you want to learn more about Push Notification Tokens and their impact on data privacy I recommend this article: https://threema.ch/de/blog/posts/push-notifications-and-data-privacy

Apart from this and the app health reports described below, no data is collected within the app.

App Health Reports

Once a day, iOS gives the app a report on how it ran (Apple’s MetricKit): crashes and freezes, with technical details of where in the app they happened, launch times, memory, battery and network use, time spent in the app and how the app was closed, along with your device model and iOS version. The app also notes, for each day, which kind of feed you read most (BridgEU’s feeds, Following or another feed) and what share of your reading time was spent on BridgEU’s feeds.

The app sends both to the backend, hosted within the European Union, together with a random ID it creates when it is installed; reinstalling the app creates a new one. Your Bluesky ID and IP address are not stored with these reports. I use them to find and fix crashes and to check that BridgEU’s feeds don’t make the app less stable. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in a working app (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The reports are deleted after 12 months.

Log Data

The app keeps no log of what you do in it. The app health reports described above are the only diagnostic data it sends.

Security

I value your trust in providing me with your personal information, thus I am striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update the Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

This policy is effective as of 2026-11-12
