Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how APKWA ("APKWA", "we", "us") handles information when you visit https://apkwa.com. By using the site you agree to this policy. Last updated: October 23, 2026.
1. Information we collect
- Information you give us: if you register as a publisher or contact us we receive your name, email address and the content you submit. Passwords are stored only as secure hashes.
- Automatic information: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, date and time. We use this for security, abuse prevention and understanding site usage.
- Ratings: when you rate an app we store the rating together with a one-way hash derived from your IP address and browser, only to limit duplicate votes. We do not store your raw IP address for this.
- Cookies and similar technologies: see section 4 and our Cookie Policy.
2. How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve the site and to review publisher submissions.
- To respond to messages and legal notices.
- To measure traffic and to show advertising.
- To detect fraud, abuse and violations of our Terms.
3. Legal bases (EEA, UK and similar laws)
Where such laws apply we rely on: your consent (advertising and non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (security, analytics, improving the service), performance of a contract (publisher accounts) and compliance with legal obligations.
4. Cookies, advertising and third parties
We may use third-party services for analytics and advertising, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or aboutads.info.
- Learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, personalised ads and non-essential cookies are shown only if you give consent through our consent banner, which you can change at any time.
Other ad networks or analytics providers, if used, process data under their own privacy policies. We do not control those cookies.
5. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, security, analytics, advertising), when required by law or to protect rights and safety, and in a business transfer.
6. External links
Download buttons and other links lead to third-party websites that we do not control. Their privacy practices are their own; please read their policies.
7. Data retention
We keep account data while your account is active and server logs for a limited period needed for security. We delete or anonymise data when it is no longer needed unless the law requires us to keep it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023) you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your data, to withdraw consent, to object to processing and to complain to a regulator. Email info@apkwa.com and we will respond within the time required by law. California residents: we do not sell personal information and we do not knowingly share it for cross-context behavioural advertising except through the advertising cookies described above, which you can control.
9. Children
APKWA is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets a higher age) and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including HTTPS and hashed passwords. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
11. International transfers
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required we use appropriate safeguards.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date shows the latest version; continued use means you accept the changes.
