Privacy Policy

2.1 Personal Information You Provide

• Account Information: When you sign up for an account, we collect your name, username, email address, and password. We may also collect optional profile details such as profile images.
• User-Generated Content (UGC): This includes the prompts, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and schema data you create or upload when building and deploying apps. Versions of your projects and logs generated by your app development and publication activities are stored indefinitely.
• App Usage Data: When you or others use apps hosted on our Platform, we collect and store any data generated through app interactions (e.g., todo list items, form submissions, user inputs, saved preferences within apps). This data is stored to maintain app functionality and user experience.
• Marketplace and Transaction Data: If you purchase or sell Apps through the Platform, we collect purchase history, transaction amounts, seller payout details, refund and dispute records, and related financial information necessary to facilitate and record transactions. Sellers who onboard to our marketplace may have additional identity and financial information collected by Stripe as part of their KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process (see Section 4.2).
• Communication: If you contact us (e.g., for support or with questions), we may collect the information you provide in your message.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Usage Data: We collect information about your interactions with the Platform, such as IP addresses, device information (e.g., browser type, operating system), and analytics data.
• App Interactions: We track likes, dislikes, and saved apps (favorites). This data is tied to your user identity to offer personalized features and analytics.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies to maintain sessions, remember user preferences, and analyze usage of our Platform.

2.3 Sensitive or Special Categories of Data

We do not intentionally collect sensitive or special categories of data (e.g., biometric data). We do not offer multi-factor authentication or WebAuthn/FIDO2 at this time; therefore, we do not collect biometric or device-based authentication data.

4.1 Service Providers and Third Parties

• Hosting and Infrastructure Providers
• Analytics Providers
• Email or Communication Service Providers
• AI Service Providers

4.2 Payment Processing & Stripe

All payments on the Platform are processed by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"). We do not store your full credit card number or bank account details. We store limited payment references (e.g., Stripe customer IDs, payment intent IDs, and transaction metadata) necessary to manage subscriptions, purchases, and refunds.

Buyers: When you purchase an App, Stripe processes your payment on our behalf. Stripe collects your payment card information directly and is subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Sellers: To sell Apps on the marketplace, you must complete Stripe Connect onboarding. During this process, you are redirected to Stripe where they may collect identity verification documents, tax identification numbers (e.g., SSN or EIN), bank account information, date of birth, and other information required for KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance. Stripe acts as an independent data controller for this information and processes it under their own privacy policy. On our side, we store your Stripe Connect account ID, payout eligibility status, and onboarding completion status to manage your seller experience on the Platform.

4.3 Marketplace Transaction Data Sharing

When a transaction occurs on the marketplace, limited information may be shared between parties:

• Buyers can see the seller's public profile name and username associated with Apps they purchase.
• Sellers can see that a purchase was made but do not receive the buyer's personal information (name, email, or payment details).
• Transaction records (amounts, dates, and status) are maintained for both parties for account management and dispute resolution purposes.

4.4 Legal Requirements and Business Transfers

We may disclose information if required by law or in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

4.5 Third-Party Apps and User Data Exposure

Important: When you interact with apps created by other users, any information you provide to those apps may be accessible to the app creators and could potentially be shared, stored, or transmitted by them in ways outside our control. This includes personal information, form inputs, messages, and any other data you enter into third-party apps.

4.6 No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties under any circumstances.
