  • Comply with legal or regulatory obligations

We do not sell personal information.

3. App Submissions

Submitting an app does not automatically guarantee publication.

We may review submitted App Store URLs and associated public app information before accepting an app into the directory.

If an app is approved, publicly available app information may be displayed on the website.

The email address submitted with an app is not displayed publicly unless you specifically request or authorize it.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to operate the website.

These may include:

Framer

The website is hosted and operated using Framer.

Framer may process technical information relating to website usage, hosting, security, and analytics.

Tally

App submission forms may be provided through Tally.

When you submit a form, the information you provide may be processed and stored by Tally on our behalf.

Analytics Providers

We may use website analytics services to understand how visitors use the website, including information such as:

  • Pages viewed

  • Approximate visitor counts

  • Referring websites

  • Device or browser information

  • General geographic information

We use analytics to understand website performance and improve the service.

Each third-party provider processes information according to its own privacy policy.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Discover Indie Apps does not currently use non-essential advertising or tracking cookies.

Framer Analytics is used to understand website traffic and operates without cookies. Third-party services such as Tally and payment providers may use essential cookies or similar technologies required for security, form functionality, or payment processing.

If we introduce non-essential analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies in the future, we may request consent where required by applicable law.

7. Legal Basis for Processing

Where laws such as the GDPR apply, we may process personal information based on:

  • Consent, where you have provided it

  • Contractual necessity, where information is required to provide a service you requested

  • Legitimate interests, such as operating, securing, and improving the website

  • Legal obligations, where processing is required by law

8. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

For example, we may retain submission information while an app remains listed or while it is reasonably necessary for:

  • Managing the listing

  • Maintaining transaction records

  • Resolving disputes

  • Preventing abuse

  • Meeting tax, accounting, or legal obligations

You may contact us to request deletion of your personal information where applicable.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or loss.

However, no internet-based service or electronic storage system can guarantee absolute security.

We rely on established third-party providers for website hosting, forms, and payment processing rather than storing sensitive payment information ourselves.

10. International Data Processing

Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers of personal information.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request deletion of your information

  • Object to or restrict certain processing

  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
