Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Apped (“Apped”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Apped iOS app, website, and related services (together, the “Service”). Apped is operated by Jasper Aelvoet.

By using the Service you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Information we collect

Account information. When you create an account we collect your name, email address, and a password or OAuth identifiers from providers you sign in with. Apped also supports anonymous accounts, which are linked to a device identifier rather than personal details until you choose to sign up.

Session and device data. To keep you signed in and detect abuse, we log your IP address, user agent, and approximate session metadata. This data is retained for the duration of the session and short term after sign-out.

Website waitlist submissions. When you join the waitlist or ask for launch updates on the website, we collect your email address and basic submission metadata so we can send you beta invites, product updates, and launch information.

App content you create. When you describe an app, we store your chat messages, AI responses, generated code, files, and per-app memories so that you can return and keep building. Content you share via a public share link is accessible to anyone with the link.

Usage data. We track token counts and message volume per account in order to enforce plan limits, and we record subscription status via RevenueCat.

Analytics and diagnostics. We use Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to understand how the Service is used and to diagnose crashes. These tools collect anonymized device, OS, and event data as described in Google's privacy documentation.

2. How we use information

We use the information above to:

• Operate the Service, including authenticating you and storing your apps.
• Send your prompts to our AI provider (Anthropic) so the AI can generate code and responses.
• Enforce plan limits, manage subscriptions, and prevent fraud or abuse.
• Diagnose crashes, debug issues, and improve performance and reliability.
• Send waitlist updates, launch invites, and other product emails you asked to receive.
• Communicate with you about the Service, including important changes and support requests.

3. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers required to run Apped, and only for the purposes described here:

• Anthropic: your prompts and relevant context are sent to the Claude API so the AI can generate code and responses. Anthropic processes this data under its own terms.
• Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics): collects anonymized usage and crash data.
• RevenueCat and Apple App Store: process subscription purchases and manage entitlements. Apped never receives or stores your payment card details.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers: store the databases and servers that run the Service.
• Legal and safety: we may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Apped or its users.

4. Public share links

If you create a public share link, the linked app name, description, creator display name, and contents become accessible to anyone who visits that URL. You can revoke a share link from the Apped app at any time.

5. Data retention

We retain account and app data while your account is active. You can delete individual apps from within the Service. To delete your account and associated data, contact us at support@apped.dev. Backups and logs containing limited data may persist for a short additional period.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain uses. To exercise these rights, email support@apped.dev. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect the Service, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure; you use the Service at your own risk and should not upload sensitive personal data you are not comfortable storing with us.

8. Children

Apped is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International users

The Service is operated from outside your country of residence. By using the Service you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the jurisdictions where Apped and its providers operate.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or on this page, and the effective date above will be updated. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
