Privacy Policy

1. About Appora

Appora is an Android app discovery and download website. The site shows app listings, screenshots, version details, APK download links, reviews, ratings, community polls, and comments.

2. Data We Handle

We handle only the data needed to run the website, protect the service, improve listings, and support community features.

• Download activity: app ID, version ID, time of download, a salted IP hash, and a shortened browser user-agent.
• Reviews and ratings: rating value, name shown with the review, review text, status, and basic moderation records.
• Poll activity: selected answer, a browser-based voter ID, a salted voter key, vote time, and vote changes.
• Poll comments: name entered by the commenter, comment text, replies, likes, status, and moderation records.
• Device-local storage: the poll commenter name may be saved in local storage in the visitor browser so the name field does not need to be entered again.
• Technical records: browser type, request timing, error signals, and security checks used to keep the website stable.

3. How We Use Data

We use data to provide downloads, show vote percentages, display comments and replies, prevent spam, moderate community content, understand download totals, fix errors, and protect the website from abuse.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

Appora may use a browser cookie to remember poll voting state so a visitor can change a vote without creating duplicate vote counts. The cookie stores a random voter ID, not a site account.

Appora may use local storage to remember the name a visitor enters for poll comments. This is stored in the visitor browser and can be removed by clearing site data in the browser.

5. App Developer Links

Apps listed on Appora may include developer websites and developer policy links. Those links open outside Appora. The developer of each app is responsible for the content, downloads, and policy details connected to that app.

6. Sharing

We do not sell visitor data. Data may be processed by hosting, database, storage, analytics, or security providers that help operate the website. Data may also be used when needed to comply with law, protect the service, investigate abuse, or enforce website rules.

7. Community Content

Reviews, ratings, poll answers, comments, replies, and likes may be visible on the website after submission. We may hide or remove community content that is spam, unsafe, misleading, abusive, or not suitable for the site.

8. Security

We use validation, rate limits, moderation tools, secure database access, and request checks to reduce spam and protect the website. No website can guarantee complete security, but we work to keep the service reliable and protected.

9. Data Retention

We keep data for as long as needed to operate the website, maintain download records, show community content, prevent abuse, resolve errors, and meet legal or operational needs. Community content may remain visible until it is removed by moderation or by an authorized request.

10. Choices

• You can avoid posting reviews, poll answers, comments, or replies.
• You can clear browser cookies and local storage for this website.
• You can use developer policy links to review policy details for each listed app.
• You can contact the site owner for support or removal requests.

11. Children

Appora is not intended for children under 13. If content from a child under 13 is found, it may be removed.

12. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
