The current app saves your logbook on your device, without a Skillamine account or cloud upload. The website and support emails involve separate hosting and email services. Please keep patient identifiers out of both your entries and your messages.
01Who operates Skillamine
Skillamine is developed and operated by Mohamed Nasser, based in Egypt. This policy covers the Skillamine website and the current offline version of the Skillamine mobile app.
You can contact the operator about privacy at mohamdnasserhh@gmail.com. This policy describes current features; any future accounts, synchronization, or other data services will require an updated explanation before they are introduced.
02Information in the mobile app
The app stores information you enter in a local database on your device. Depending on how you use it, this includes:
- Profile: your name, selected institution, training stage, and cohort.
- Logbook: case dates, descriptions, procedures, participation, results, attempts, supervision, technique details, and notes.
- Optional clinical context: patient age, gender, and ASA classification, if you choose to record them.
- Other local information: custom skills, appearance preferences, an unfinished draft, and technical identifiers and revision records used to keep the local database consistent.
The current app does not require an account or upload your logbook to a Skillamine server. It does not include advertising or third-party usage analytics. The temporary demo uses synthetic sample data and is kept separate from your real logbook.
03Keep patient identifiers out
Skillamine is a personal learning logbook, not a patient-record system. Do not enter patient names, hospital or national identity numbers, contact information, or other information that could identify a patient. Free-text fields can contain sensitive information if you put it there.
Use only the context necessary for your learning. You are responsible for following your institution’s confidentiality requirements and the rules that apply to your practice. Do not send patient information in support emails.
04Website and hosting information
The website does not provide account registration, forms, advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies. Its images and other page assets are served with the site, without embedded social feeds or third-party font requests.
When the website is hosted on AWS Amplify, requests are processed by AWS to deliver and protect the site. Technical request information can include your IP address, requested URL, request time, browser information, and response status. Hosting logs may be available to the operator for troubleshooting and security. This is separate from your mobile logbook; visiting the website does not give it access to your app database.
Hosting information may be processed outside Egypt. Its availability and retention depend on the hosting configuration and provider’s service requirements; we do not claim that hosting produces no logs or that they are deleted immediately.
05When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address, the information in your message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use that information to answer your question, investigate a reported problem, or handle your privacy request.
Correspondence is handled through Gmail and may be processed by the email provider outside Egypt. We keep it for as long as reasonably needed for the request and related support or legal obligations. You can ask us to delete correspondence, subject to any applicable retention requirements.
06Storage, retention, and deletion
Your saved app entries remain on your device until you change or delete them, clear the app’s local data, or remove the app. You can edit your profile and cases and delete individual cases from the app. Some technical revision or deletion metadata may remain in its local database. Deleting an entry is not a promise of forensic erasure from device storage.
The current app has no working cloud sync, account recovery, CSV export, or backup/restore feature. The operator cannot recover your local logbook if your device or app data is lost.
Your operating system may separately back up device or app data depending on its settings. Those copies are controlled by the device or backup provider and may remain after local deletion. Review those settings when removing information; Skillamine does not operate or guarantee those backups.
08Your choices and requests
You choose what to enter in the app and can leave optional fields empty. You can review and edit your local records through the app, delete individual cases, and manage app storage through your device.
For information the operator holds, such as support correspondence, email us to request access, correction, or deletion or to raise a concern. We will consider your request under applicable law and may ask for information necessary to verify it. Please do not send a copy of your entire logbook or identity documents unless a specific, appropriate need has been explained.
Skillamine is intended for adult trainees and clinicians and is not directed at children. If you believe a child has sent personal information to the operator, contact us so we can address it.
09Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app or website changes. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. Material changes to how personal information is handled will be explained through an appropriate notice before they take effect, with consent sought where required.
For the conditions of using Skillamine, see our Terms of Service.
