Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026/1/26

indsapps.com (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", or "our") is fully committed to protecting the privacy, security, and personal data of all users (hereinafter referred to as "you" or "your") who access or use our website (findsapps.com) and the services we provide. It is critical to note that our website does NOT offer any registration or login functions, which means we will never collect, store, or process any personal information related to user accounts (such as usernames, passwords, profile pictures, or account credentials). This Privacy Policy (hereinafter referred to as "Policy") explains in detail how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect your information when you access or use our website and services, as well as your rights regarding your personal data. By accessing or using findsapps.com, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms and conditions of this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not access or use our website.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to operate, maintain, and improve our website and services, and we do so in a transparent manner. Since there is no registration or login system, we do not collect any personal information that could directly identify you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. The information we may collect falls into two distinct categories: Voluntarily Provided Personal Information and Automatically Collected Non-Personal Information. We do not collect any other types of information unless explicitly stated in this Policy or required by law.

1.1 Voluntarily Provided Personal Information

We will only collect personal information from you if you choose to voluntarily provide it to us. This typically occurs when you initiate contact with us for inquiries, feedback, support, or other communications. We will never request personal information from you unsolicited, and you are under no obligation to provide any personal information unless you wish to do so. The types of voluntarily provided personal information we may collect include, but are not limited to:

  • Your full name (if you choose to include it in your message or email);
  • Your email address (required to respond to your inquiries, feedback, or support requests—e.g., when you send a message to [email protected]);
  • Any additional information you voluntarily include in your communications with us, such as the nature of your inquiry, feedback about our website or content, questions about specific apps, or details about your experience using our services;
  • Any other personal information you explicitly choose to share with us (e.g., device details if you report a technical issue, or app preferences if you request personalized recommendations).

We will only use the voluntarily provided personal information for the specific purpose for which you provided it (e.g., responding to your email) and will not use it for any other purposes without your explicit consent.

1.2 Automatically Collected Non-Personal Information

When you access and browse our website, we may automatically collect certain non-personal information about your visit. This information does NOT identify you personally and cannot be used to distinguish you from other users. It is collected solely to help us analyze user behavior, understand how our website is being used, improve our website performance, enhance the user experience, and optimize our content. The non-personal information we may automatically collect includes, but is not limited to:

  • Device Information: The type of device you use to access our website (e.g., smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer), the device model (e.g., iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy S24, Dell XPS 15), the operating system (OS) of your device (e.g., iOS 17, Android 14, Windows 11, macOS Sonoma), and the device’s screen resolution;
  • Browser Information: The type and version of the web browser you use (e.g., Google Chrome 120, Safari 17, Mozilla Firefox 119, Microsoft Edge 120), browser settings (e.g., language preferences), and browser plugins or extensions (if applicable);
  • Access and Usage Information: Your device’s IP address (which can be used to determine your approximate geographic location, such as your country or region, but not your specific address), the date and time of your visit to our website, the specific pages you view on our website (e.g., app news pages, Q&A sections, category pages), the duration of your visit on each page, the order in which you view pages, the links you click on (including links to official app stores), the search queries you enter in our website’s search bar, the number of times you visit our website (frequency), and the amount of time you spend on our website in total;
  • Technical Data: Information about how your device interacts with our website, such as page loading times, error messages (if any), and other technical performance metrics (e.g., whether a page loaded successfully or crashed);
  • Referral Information: The website or source that directed you to our website (e.g., a search engine like Google or Bing, a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter, a third-party blog, or a direct link).

We collect this non-personal information using cookies and similar tracking technologies. For more detailed information about our use of cookies, including the types of cookies we use and how you can manage your cookie preferences, please refer to our Cookies Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect (both personal and non-personal) solely for legitimate purposes that are consistent with our mission to provide high-quality app news, Q&A, and official app store links. We will never use your information for any purposes not explicitly stated in this Policy, unless we have your explicit consent or are required to do so by law. The specific purposes for which we use your information include:

2.1 Using Voluntarily Provided Personal Information

  • To Respond to Your Inquiries and Feedback: We use your email address and any other personal information you provide to respond to your questions, address your concerns, follow up on your feedback, or provide you with the support you requested. For example, if you send an email asking about a specific app’s features, we will use your email address to send you a detailed response;
  • To Improve Our Website and Services: We may use the feedback and suggestions you provide (which may include personal information) to identify areas for improvement on our website, such as updating content, fixing technical issues, or adding new features that better meet user needs;
  • To Communicate with You (With Consent): If you explicitly consent to receiving updates from us (e.g., newsletter, app release alerts), we may use your email address to send you relevant information. You can unsubscribe from these communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in each email.

2.2 Using Automatically Collected Non-Personal Information

  • To Analyze User Behavior: We analyze non-personal information to understand how users interact with our website, such as which pages are most popular, which app categories receive the most traffic, and how long users spend on different sections. This helps us identify trends and make data-driven decisions to improve our content;
  • To Improve Website Performance and Functionality: We use technical data and usage information to identify and fix technical issues (e.g., slow-loading pages, broken links), optimize our website for different devices and browsers, and ensure our website runs smoothly and efficiently;
  • To Personalize Your Browsing Experience: Based on your browsing behavior (e.g., the types of apps or news you view, the search queries you enter), we may show you content that is more relevant to your interests. For example, if you frequently view productivity apps, we may prioritize showing you news and Q&A related to productivity apps;
  • To Optimize Our Content: We use non-personal information to determine which types of content (e.g., app reviews, troubleshooting guides, news updates) are most valuable to our users, allowing us to focus on creating content that meets your needs;
  • To Ensure Website Security: We use IP addresses and other technical data to monitor our website for fraudulent activities, unauthorized access, or other actions that may harm our website or users (e.g., DDoS attacks, spam).

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We take your privacy very seriously and will never sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes or any other unauthorized purpose. We will only disclose your information in the limited circumstances outlined below, and we will always ensure that any third party who receives your information is contractually obligated to protect it:

  • With Your Explicit Consent: We will only disclose your personal information to a third party if you have given us clear, explicit permission to do so. For example, if you request that we share your feedback with a specific app developer, we will only do so with your consent;
  • To Trusted Third-Party Service Providers: We may share non-personal information (or personal information that has been anonymized—i.e., stripped of all identifying details) with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, providing our services, or improving our content. These service providers may include web hosting companies, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), technical support providers, and content management systems. All of these third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it for the specific purposes for which we disclose it to them. They are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes;
  • To Comply with Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if we are required to do so by law, court order, subpoena, or other legal process. This includes disclosing information to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other third parties as required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal requests;
  • To Protect Rights and Interests: We may disclose your information to protect the legitimate rights, property, or safety of findsapps.com, our users, or third parties. This includes, but is not limited to, disclosing information to prevent fraud, illegal activities, or harm to others, or to enforce our Terms of Use;
  • In the Event of a Business Transaction: If findsapps.com is acquired by another company, merged with another company, or sells all or part of its assets, we may transfer your information (including personal information) to the acquiring company or new owner. In such cases, the acquiring company will be bound by the terms of this Policy (or a similar privacy policy) to protect your information.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We understand the importance of data security and continuously review and update our security practices to keep pace with industry standards and emerging threats. Our security measures include, but are not limited to:

  • Secure Storage: Personal information you provide to us (e.g., email addresses) is stored on secure servers that are protected by firewalls, encryption, and other security technologies. We use industry-standard encryption (e.g., SSL/TLS) to protect data transmission between your device and our servers;
  • Access Control: Only authorized members of our team have access to your personal information, and they are required to follow strict security protocols. We limit access to personal information to only those team members who need it to perform their job functions (e.g., responding to user emails);
  • Regular Security Reviews: We conduct regular security audits and reviews to identify and fix any potential vulnerabilities in our website or systems. We also update our security software and protocols regularly to protect against new threats;
  • Employee Training: Our team members receive training on data privacy and security best practices, including how to handle personal information securely and how to recognize and respond to security threats;
  • Data Retention Limits: We only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected (e.g., until we have responded to your inquiry and resolved your issue). After that, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information, unless we are required by law to retain it for a longer period.

However, it is important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. You use our website and services at your own risk, and you are responsible for taking appropriate measures to protect your own information (e.g., keeping your email account secure).

5. Your Rights Regarding Your Information

Depending on your jurisdiction of residence (e.g., European Union, California, etc.), you may have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you under applicable data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). We respect these rights and will work with you to exercise them. Your rights may include:

  • The Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. We will provide you with a copy of your personal information free of charge, unless providing multiple copies would be unreasonable;

We will delete your personal information as soon as possible if we no longer need it and there are no legal barriers to doing so;
  • The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances (e.g., if you dispute the accuracy of your information, or if you object to our use of your information). If you exercise this right, we will only process your information for limited purposes;
  • The Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information for certain purposes, such as direct marketing (although we do not engage in direct marketing). If you object, we will stop processing your information for that purpose unless we have a compelling legitimate reason to continue;
  • The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we provide you with your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, so that you can transfer it to another organization (if applicable);
  • The Right to Withdraw Consent: If you have given us consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted before you withdrew your consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with a detailed description of your request (e.g., "I would like to access the personal information you hold about me" or "I would like to request the deletion of my email address"). We may ask you to provide additional information to verify your identity before processing your request, to ensure that we are disclosing or modifying information only to the correct person. We will review your request and respond in accordance with applicable data protection laws, typically within 30 days (or within the time frame required by law).
