Trust
Privacy Policy
Altapp exists to make software trustworthy — that starts with how we treat your data. This policy is short because our data practices are short.
What we collect
- Account data. If you sign in, we receive your name, email address and profile photo from the provider you choose (LinkedIn, Google, Apple, or the email address you enter). We never see your passwords, and we receive no posting access to any of your accounts.
- Content you write. Reviews and app requests you submit, together with the name shown on your account. Published reviews are public and display your name.
- Audience measurement. Which pages are read, and where visitors arrive from, through Google Analytics. See Analytics below for exactly what that involves and how to opt out.
What we don’t collect
- No advertising trackers, no ad networks, no fingerprinting.
- No browsing profiles: reading Altapp requires no account, and we never build advertising profiles or run remarketing on what you read here.
- No sale or sharing of personal data with advertisers — ever.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to see which pages are read and where visitors arrive from, so we know what to work on next. It sets two cookies in your browser — _ga and _ga_YTJ2KDWMS9 — which let Google tell a returning visitor from a new one, and it reports the page you viewed, the site that referred you, your device and browser, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Google does not store that IP address in Analytics.
We read this only in aggregate. It is never joined to your account, your reviews or your email address, and it never leaves our reporting — we don’t sell it, share it with advertisers, or use it to target you.
If you would rather not be counted, any content blocker will stop it, as will Google’s own Analytics opt-out add-on. Blocking it changes nothing about how the site works for you.
How we use your data
Account data is used to operate your account, attribute the reviews you choose to publish, and moderate submissions. LinkedIn verification status is used only to enable review and app-request privileges. That’s the full list.
Where it lives
Data is stored with Supabase (database and authentication, hosted in the EU — Frankfurt region) and served through Vercel. Both act as processors on our behalf; neither is permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
Audience measurement is the one exception: it is processed by Google under Google’s own Analytics terms, and may be processed outside the EU. That is why it stays limited to the aggregate reporting described above, and why opting out is a click away.
Your rights
You can request a copy of your data or the deletion of your account and everything attached to it at any time by emailing hello@altapp.store. Deletion removes your account, reviews and requests permanently.
Third-party links
App pages link to developers’ official websites, stores and repositories. Once you leave Altapp, those sites’ own policies apply — that’s exactly why we publish Trust Reports about them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date above changes with it, and material changes will be noted on this page before they take effect.
