APP NAVI (“the site”) is operated by atsign. This page explains how personal information is handled, following how the site actually works.

What we collect and why

• Listing submissions: app name, official URL, description, developer name, developer site, and a contact email. Used to review listings and to contact you. The contact email is never published.
• Star ratings: the number of stars and the app rated. We cannot tell who gave a rating. To prevent duplicates and ballot stuffing, a per-browser identifier and the IP address are converted into irreversible hashes before storing; the original values are not stored.
• Messages to developers: your name, reply email address and message. With your consent on the form, they are shared only with the developer addressed (we forward them by email, or a logged-in developer reads them on the site). The IP address is stored as a hash to prevent abuse.
• Contact form: your name, reply email address and message. Used to answer your question and for site operations. The IP address is stored as a hash to prevent abuse.
• Request board (“Get an app built”): the request’s title, description, category, budget, timing and display name (blank = “Anonymous”), your contact email, and a private URL for managing the request (stored only as a hash). The title, description, category, budget, timing and display name are published on the board after our team approves the request. Your contact email is not published; it is emailed, with your display name, only to a developer you choose with “Share my contact details with this developer” (developers cannot contact you directly). The names and messages of developers who apply are shared only with you. To prevent abuse, the IP address is stored as a hash (the original is not stored). We keep requests as a record for a reasonable period after closing; to have one deleted, use the contact form.
• Developer login: if you log in with GitHub or Google, your display name and the provider’s ID number, used to manage the link to your developer page. We do not obtain your email address, and we do not store passwords or access tokens.

Visit statistics

• To improve the site, when you open a page your browser sends the page address and the referring site (domain only), and we keep only daily counts. We also count the device type (computer, phone, tablet) and the country or region.
• To count visitors, that day’s IP address and browser name are converted into an irreversible hash. The value changes every day and is deleted after two days. The IP address itself is never stored. This own counting uses no cookies.
• Separately, we use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to compile usage statistics (pages viewed, referrer, device and browser type, approximate region). Google Analytics uses cookies and receives no information that identifies you, such as your name or email address. You can opt out with your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
• We use no advertising trackers.

What we do not store

• Passwords, email addresses (at login), payment information, location data (anything more precise than country or region).

Cookies and browser storage

• If you log in, we use a cookie that keeps you logged in (up to 30 days) and a temporary cookie used only during login (10 minutes). Both are necessary for the site to work.
• Google Analytics uses cookies (such as _ga) to compile usage statistics.
• For star ratings, your browser’s local storage holds a per-browser identifier and your own ratings. You can clear it in your browser settings.

External services

• Cloudflare: serves the site and stores data. Cloudflare records connection logs.
• Google Analytics: used for usage statistics. What is viewed is sent to Google LLC and handled under its privacy policy.
• GitHub / Google: used only if you choose to log in, on their own authentication pages. Their handling of data follows their own privacy policies.

Sharing with third parties

• Except where required by law, we do not share collected information with third parties without consent. Messages are shared with the addressed developer, with your consent, as described above.

Retention and deletion

• We keep information for as long as needed to operate the site. To check, correct or delete your information, contact us below. We will respond within reason after confirming it is you (star ratings are stored in a form that cannot identify you, so individual ones may not be locatable).

Changes

• We may revise this policy. When we do, we update the date at the top of this page.

• atsign: contact form (to check, correct or delete your information, choose “Privacy: check, correct or delete my data” as the topic)
