Terms of Use

1. Who we are

apporig ("we", "us") is an independent studio that makes mobile apps for iPhone and Android. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data on our website https://apporig.com (the "Site").

The controller of personal data collected through the Site is the operator of apporig. You can reach us at any time at hello@apporig.com.

2. Our apps have their own policies

This policy covers only the Site. Each of our apps has its own privacy policy, published on the app’s own website and linked from its App Store and Google Play pages. Please read that policy to learn what a specific app does with data.

3. What we collect

We collect only what you send us and what is needed to run the Site:

  • Contact form: your name, email address, the topic you choose, and your message.
  • Tester sign-up: your email address, your name if you give it, the platform you choose (Android, iPhone, or both), the Site language, and the time of sign-up.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, and the time and address of requests, recorded in server logs to keep the Site secure and working.

4. How we use it

We use this data only to:

  • answer your messages and follow up on your request;
  • invite you to test our apps: for Android we add your email to our testers’ Google Group, which gives access to closed testing in Google Play; for iPhone we send you a TestFlight invitation;
  • send you emails about testing — new builds, short questions, and changes to the program;
  • protect the Site from abuse, limit automated requests, and fix errors.

6. Who we share it with

We never sell or rent your personal data and do not use it for advertising.

We share data only with providers that help us run the Site — our hosting provider and our email delivery provider — and, when you join testing, with Google (Google Groups and Google Play testing) or Apple (TestFlight), whose own privacy policies apply to those services. We may also disclose data when the law requires it.

7. How long we keep it

  • Contact messages: as long as needed to handle your request, and no longer than 12 months after our last exchange.
  • Tester sign-ups: until you leave the testing program or ask us to delete your data.
  • Server logs: for a short period, typically up to 30 days, unless needed to investigate an incident.
  • Accounts created on apporig.com before October 2026 and their data: kept until you ask us to delete them; new accounts can no longer be created.

8. Your rights and deletion

You can ask us to show, correct, or delete your data, to stop using it, or to stop testing emails. Where the GDPR applies, you can also object to processing, ask for a copy of your data, and complain to your local data protection authority.

To make a request, email hello@apporig.com from the address concerned. We will reply within 30 days. Deleting your tester sign-up also removes you from our testers’ Google Group.

9. Cookies and local storage

The Site remembers your theme and language in your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device and is not used for tracking.

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. A session cookie is set only when you sign in to an account, and it is used solely to keep you signed in.

10. Security

The Site is served over HTTPS, access to stored data is limited to the studio owner, and requests are rate-limited to prevent abuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.

11. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data through the Site. If you believe a child has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version. If the changes are significant, we will tell testers by email.

13. Our social media channels and YouTube API Services

apporig promotes its own apps with short videos on its own social media channels. To publish these videos on our own YouTube channels, read comments under our videos, reply to them, and see how many views our videos get, we use YouTube API Services. The YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) apply to your use of YouTube.

Through YouTube API Services we access only our own channels. When you comment under one of our videos, we receive your public comment, your public channel name, and the comment ID, and use them only to reply to you under our video, sometimes with a promo code for our app. Comment texts are deleted after 7 days; the comment ID and channel name are kept so that we do not reply twice, and comments we did not answer are deleted completely after 30 days. We do not sell or share this data, use it for advertising, or combine it with other data, and we do not store or read cookies or other data on your device through YouTube API Services.

You can revoke any app's access to your Google account at any time on the Google security settings page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. To ask us to delete data about your comments, email hello@apporig.com.
