At AppUsing (“we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect, how we use and store it, and the circumstances under which it may be shared when you visit or use appusing.com (the “Website”) and any related features or services (“Services”).
By accessing or using the Website, you confirm that you have reviewed and accepted this Privacy Policy.
1. Types of Information We Collect
We gather information from users in two primary ways: information provided directly by users and data collected automatically during Website use.

Personal information refers to details that can be directly linked to your identity. Such information may include:
Contact Information: For example, your name or email address if you contact us or voluntarily submit details through forms.

Providing personal information is optional, though certain interactions may require it to function properly.

Non-personal information does not directly identify individuals and may include:
Technical Data: Device type, IP address (which may be anonymized), browser version, system settings, and general interaction information.
Usage Information: Pages you visit, time spent browsing, search queries, and navigation paths.
Statistical Insights: Aggregated and anonymous data used to understand Website performance, trends, and user interests.
2. How We Collect Information
Information may be collected through different channels:
Direct communication initiated by users.
Automatic data-collection methods such as cookies, tags, and tracking technologies (see our Cookies Policy for more details).
Third-party service providers that supply metrics or analytics based on their own privacy terms.

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may only be shared under limited conditions:
When you explicitly authorize us to do so.
With service providers who assist with analytics, hosting, or operational tasks and are permitted to use the information only for those purposes.
When required to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or governmental requests.
In connection with business changes, such as mergers or acquisitions, where user information may be transferred as part of the transaction.
5. Protection of Your Information
We apply reasonable security measures—technical, administrative, and organizational—to reduce risks of unauthorized access, modification, or misuse. These may include secure servers, controlled access, and encryption processes.
Despite these safeguards, no online system can guarantee complete protection. If you believe your information may have been compromised, please contact us promptly.
6. Data Retention
How long we retain information depends on its nature and its purpose:
Contact details may be retained as necessary to respond to messages or resolve issues.
