Welcome to www.appreviews.com When you visit or use our website, we may gather certain information about you. This Privacy and Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains the types of data we collect, how we use and share this information, your options regarding our use of your information, the measures we take to protect this information, and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.
Please note that this Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted on the website, and your continued use of the website after such updates signifies your acceptance of these changes.
Information You Provide We collect personal information you directly provide when contacting our support team via email. This information may include your email address, name, address, telephone number, and any other details you choose to share. We will retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill our obligations or the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once the retention period ends, we will delete your personal information or take steps to anonymize it.
Information Collected Automatically We use tools and technologies such as cookies and web server logs to automatically collect information when you visit our website. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser, allowing websites to recognize your device, record preferences, track page visits, and identify the previous website visited. Information collected may include browser details, IP addresses, device identifiers, operating system details, internet service provider information, language preferences, referring URLs, time and length of visits, and pages viewed.
These tools may also include geo-filtering and other location-aware technologies to verify your location and adjust content delivery accordingly.
Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you can modify your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Note that blocking cookies may impact the functionality of our website and other websites, and disabling cookies may invalidate opt-out mechanisms that use cookies.
Do Not Track We may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and devices. While your browser may allow you to send a "Do Not Track" signal, our website does not respond to these signals. For more information on "Do Not Track" signals, visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
Analytics We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc. ("Google"), to collect and analyze information about your use of our website. Google Analytics stores data, including your IP address, in cookies and may transfer it to a Google server in the USA for storage and evaluation. We use anonymized IP addresses to ensure privacy. Google uses this data on our behalf to analyze website usage, generate activity reports, and provide other related services to improve our website and user experience. You can disable Google Analytics cookies by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We also use Google Tag Manager, which allows us to manage website tags without using cookies or collecting personal data. Tags triggered by Google Tag Manager may collect data, but Google Tag Manager does not access this data. Deactivating certain websites at the domain or browser level applies to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
For more information on how Google Analytics uses data, visit: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. To opt out of Google Analytics cookies, visit: www.google.com/settings/ads and tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
Advertising We may use third-party services to display advertisements on other online platforms. Some third parties participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) AdChoices Program, providing an opt-out tool for interest-based ads. For more information on the DAA AdChoices Program, visit www.youradchoices.com and the mobile app opt-out program at www.aboutads.info/appchoices.
Certain advertising networks and exchanges may participate in the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). To opt out of interest-based ads from NAI members, visit www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and www.networkadvertising.org/mobile-choice/.
Even if you opt out of interest-based ads, you may still receive non-targeted ads. We are not responsible for the effectiveness or compliance of other parties' opt-out options.
To limit mobile tracking technologies, adjust your device settings. Refer to your operating system’s instructions for more information.
We may use your personal information for purposes consistent with the reasons it was collected or authorized by you, including:
Links to Other Websites Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These websites operate independently and have their own privacy and security policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any website you visit.
Sharing of Personal Information We may share your personal information with affiliates, business partners, vendors, and other parties. Vendors may help us operate our business and website or manage activities on our behalf, such as serving ads, website maintenance, and customer service. For advertising, we may share your information with certain vendors, including your personal information and data collected automatically.
In the event of a business transaction (e.g., sale, merger, reorganization, liquidation), we reserve the right to disclose any information collected through the website.
We may also disclose your personal information to comply with legal processes (e.g., search warrants, subpoenas, court orders), protect our rights and property, investigate fraud or policy violations, and prevent misuse of the website.
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, internet transmission and digital storage are not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
Privacy of Children Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have received information from a child under 13, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.
California residents may request information about our disclosure of personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes under the "Shine the Light" law. We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
