This policy explains what AndroidPot ("we", "us") collects when you visit androidpot.net, search the catalog, rate an app or download a file, and what we do with it. You can browse and download without creating an account.
1. Information we collect
We collect a limited set of technical data automatically:
- IP address, approximate country, browser and device type
- Pages viewed, search terms entered on the site, and referring URL
- Date, time and the file requested when you start a download
We collect an email address only if you send one through the report form or contact us directly.
2. How we use it
We use this data to deliver files, keep the service secure, prevent abuse, measure which listings are popular, and fix problems. We do not sell personal information.
3. Cookies
Browsing, searching, rating and downloading work without cookies, and AndroidPot does not set cookies of its own for visitors. Analytics and advertising services used on the site may set their own cookies to count visits and show ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the catalog and downloads continue to work without them.
4. Advertising
AndroidPot may be supported by ads served by third-party networks. Those networks may use cookies or similar identifiers to show and measure ads, including ads based on your interests. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown.
5. Downloads and CDN logs
Files are served from our content delivery network. Each request creates a log entry containing your IP address, user agent, the file requested and the transfer result. We use these logs for capacity planning, abuse prevention and download counts.
6. Ratings
When you rate an app we store the number of stars together with a one-way, keyed hash of your IP address. The hash lets us accept one rating per visitor for each app and lets you change your rating later. We do not store the IP address itself with the rating, and ratings are shown only as totals and averages.
7. Reports and DMCA notices
When you submit a report we store the details you provide so we can investigate and reply. Copyright notices, including the name and contact details of the sender, may be shared with the affected uploader or developer and with legal authorities where required.
8. Data retention
Server and CDN logs are kept for up to 90 days, then deleted or aggregated. Reports are kept for up to 24 months. Copyright notices are kept for as long as legally required. Ratings are kept for as long as the app is listed.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Email us to make a request; we respond within 30 days.
10. Children
AndroidPot is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
11. Changes and contact
We may update this policy and will change the date at the top when we do. Questions or requests: privacy@androidpot.net. To flag a listing, use the report form.
