What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit AppsGoneFree, how we use it, and your choices. We respect your privacy and design the site to minimize data collection.
Information we collect
- Usage analytics: Anonymous counts of page views, clicks, and category visits to help us understand which apps and listings are most useful.
- Submission details: When you submit an app, we collect the app URL, app name, description, screenshots, and your contact email so we can review and publish your listing.
- Payment information: Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment card details; Stripe handles that securely.
- Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences (such as accepted cookie consent) and to gather anonymous analytics.
How we use your information
We use the data to operate the directory, improve app recommendations, communicate with app submitters, and report aggregated engagement to paid advertisers. We do not sell personal data to third parties.
Third-party services
We rely on trusted providers for hosting, payments, and analytics. Each provider processes data according to their own terms and privacy practices. Current subprocessors include Stripe for payments and our hosting provider for site infrastructure.

You can manage or withdraw cookie consent using the cookie banner. If you submit an app and want your listing removed or your data deleted, contact us at the email shown on the Contact page.
