Privacy Policy

Welcome to AppCritica — a software, app and AI tools listing platform. Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the choices you have. By using AppCritica or any of its services, you agree to the terms of this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Information you provide: When you contact us (for example via our contact page), submit a listing, sign up for newsletters, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the information you provide — such as name, email address, company name, listing details and any message content.
  • Automatically collected data: Technical and usage information that your browser or device sends when you visit our site, including IP address, device type, browser type, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, analyze usage, and deliver relevant content.
  • Third-party data: If you interact with third-party services (for example signing in via a third-party account, or using embedded content), we may receive limited information from those providers according to their policies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for purposes including:

  • Providing, operating and improving AppCritica and its features (listings, search, user accounts, etc.).
  • Communicating with you (responding to inquiries, sending transactional messages, updates and marketing where you have consented).
  • Personalizing and improving user experience, analytics and site performance monitoring.
  • Preventing abuse, enforcing our terms, and protecting the security and integrity of the platform.
  • Complying with legal obligations and requests from law enforcement when required by law.

3. Sharing & Disclosure

We will not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Trusted third-party vendors who perform services for us (hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processors) and only process data on our behalf.
  • Public listings: Information you include in a public listing or profile on AppCritica will be visible to other users and visitors as part of the listing content.
  • Legal reasons: When required by law, to comply with legal process, protect our rights, or respond to claims.
  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to reasonable confidentiality protections.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar tools for site functionality, analytics and (where permitted) marketing. You can control cookies through your browser settings and opt-outs provided by certain analytics providers. Disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.

5. Use of AI and Automated Tools

AppCritica may use AI-powered tools to help moderate content, improve search and recommend listings. These systems may process listing text and metadata to generate suggestions or classifications. AI outputs should be considered informational and not professional advice. If you have concerns about AI-processed content, contact us at the address below.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For public listings, content will usually remain published until you request its removal or we remove it for policy reasons.

7. Your Choices

  • Access & correction: You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us.
  • Marketing communications: You can opt out of promotional emails by following the unsubscribe link in those emails or contacting us.
  • Cookies: Manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note: disabling certain cookies may reduce site functionality.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission or storage method is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children

AppCritica is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. When we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms.

12. Contact Us
