Privacy policy

What data we process

When you simply read AppDrop, our hosting and security systems may process technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser, language, approximate country and the time of the request. We never ask for your Apple ID password, payment card details or sign-in codes.

Analytics and your consent

Google Analytics 4 and our own first-party event analytics (page views, App Store clicks, shares, favourites, alert sign-ups) only run after you accept them in the consent banner. If you decline, neither is loaded and no analytics identifier is stored on your device. You can change your choice at any time with the “Privacy settings” link in the footer.

Favourites, recently viewed deals and some preferences may be kept in your browser's local storage. You can delete them by clearing the site data in your browser.

Email alerts

If you turn on Drop Alerts we process your email address, language, chosen topics, devices, categories and sending frequency. Sign-up is confirmed with an email code. The data is used only to send the alerts you selected and to manage unsubscribing. Emails are sent through Resend, while subscriber settings are stored in Supabase. Every alert contains an unsubscribe link.

Comments and the contact form

For comments we store a name or nickname, the comment text, an optional rating, the comment type and the time of posting. For the contact form we store your name, email, reason for contact, message and the technical processing status. To protect against spam we temporarily use a technical fingerprint derived from network and browser data; it is used only to limit abuse and is deleted periodically. Please do not include sensitive personal information.

Services we use

AppDrop uses Vercel for hosting and delivery, Supabase for the database and authentication, Resend for transactional email and, with your consent, Google Analytics. These services may process technical data under their own privacy policies and in their own infrastructure locations. AppDrop does not sell personal data to advertisers.

How long we keep data

We keep data for as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for: alert settings while your subscription is active or until you ask for deletion, contact messages while they are needed to resolve the request and keep a record of the conversation, and technical anti-spam logs for a short time. Analytics data is used in aggregate form to monitor and improve the service.

Your rights and contact

You can ask for access to, correction of or deletion of data we can link to you, and you can unsubscribe from email alerts. The easiest way is the contact form (choose “Privacy request”). If you ask for deletion we may need to keep minimal technical data where required for security or to prevent abuse.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the features or services used by AppDrop change. The date of the last change is published on this page. If a change materially affects how data is processed, the policy will be updated before or together with that change.
