Privacy Policy

Appstus designs and develops custom mobile applications and related digital product services. When you visit our website or contact us, you may share information with us. This policy describes those practices in clear terms.

By using appstus.com or contacting Appstus, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the website or submit personal information to us.

This policy covers information processed in connection with:

• Visiting or browsing appstus.com
• Emailing or otherwise contacting Appstus about a project or inquiry
• Discussing, proposing, or delivering services for a client engagement
• Operating and securing the website and related business communications

Website data versus client application data

Appstus builds applications for clients. Those client applications may collect and process information about their own end users. This Privacy Policy does not automatically govern end-user data inside every application we develop for a client.

Client products typically have their own privacy notices and terms. Where Appstus processes information on a client's instructions during development, maintenance, or support, that processing is handled under the applicable client agreement and instructions, not as if Appstus were independently deciding how to use the client's end-user data for its own unrelated purposes.

Information you provide directly

You can reach Appstus through the contact form on appstus.com or by emailing info@appstus.com. When you submit the form or email us, you may choose to share information such as:

• Your name and email address
• Company or organization name
• Project goals, product ideas, and requirements
• Platform preferences (for example iOS, Android, or both)
• Existing designs, technical details, APIs, or constraints
• Timeline expectations and budget range, if you share them
• Any files, links, or materials you attach or send by email

Contact form submissions are delivered to Appstus using a form-delivery service (Web3Forms) so we can receive and reply to inquiries by email. That provider processes the submitted fields for delivery purposes. We receive only what you choose to send. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information that is not needed for the inquiry.

Technical and usage information

When you visit appstus.com, standard web infrastructure may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver the site. Depending on hosting and network configuration, this can include items such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, requested pages, and approximate timing of requests.

As of the date of this policy, Appstus does not operate third-party advertising pixels, analytics dashboards, or marketing trackers on appstus.com. If that changes, we will update this policy to describe the new practices.

Cookies and similar technologies

appstus.com is a content website. We do not currently use non-essential marketing or analytics cookies. Your browser or the hosting environment may still use essential technical mechanisms required for security, performance, or basic site delivery. Because we are not running a non-essential cookie program on this site, we do not maintain a separate Cookie Policy at this time.

Appstus uses information for purposes such as:

• Responding to inquiries and project discussions
• Understanding your requirements and preparing proposals or next steps
• Providing design, development, maintenance, and related services
• Communicating about project scope, schedules, deliverables, and billing
• Operating, securing, troubleshooting, and improving the website
• Maintaining business records and meeting legal obligations where applicable
• Protecting against fraud, abuse, or security incidents

We do not use website visitor information to run third-party advertising audiences on appstus.com at this time.

Appstus does not sell personal information as part of its ordinary business model.

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the website and business, such as hosting, email, domain, infrastructure, contact-form delivery, or similar operational providers. These providers process information on our behalf and only as needed to perform their services.

We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; to protect the rights, safety, or property of Appstus, our clients, or others; or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, where information may be transferred as part of that transaction under appropriate safeguards.

If a project requires involving a specialist contractor or collaborator under our direction, information may be shared only as needed for that engagement and subject to confidentiality expectations appropriate to the work.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, managing client relationships, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or accounting requirements.

Retention periods vary by context. Inquiry emails that do not become projects may be retained for a shorter operational period than records related to active or completed engagements.

Appstus takes reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Please use secure channels when sharing credentials, production secrets, or highly sensitive materials, and notify us promptly if you believe an account, inbox, or project channel has been compromised.

Appstus works with clients and service providers that may be located in different countries. Information you send to us may be processed in locations other than the country where you are located. Where that occurs, we take a practical approach to handling information carefully and in line with this policy and applicable obligations.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to ask questions about how it is used. To make a request, email info@appstus.com with enough detail for us to locate your information and verify the request.

We may need to retain certain information where required for legitimate business, legal, or security reasons.

If you previously contacted us and no longer want project follow-up, tell us and we will stop non-essential outreach related to that inquiry.

appstus.com is intended for business and professional audiences. Appstus does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact info@appstus.com and we will take appropriate steps to review and remove it where required.

appstus.com may link to third-party websites or profiles, including social media pages. Those services are controlled by their own operators and privacy practices. This policy does not cover third-party sites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use of appstus.com or continued contact with Appstus after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
