Privacy Policy

Welcome to AppFeed! We want you to know that protecting your personal information is very important to us, and we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy is meant to explain how we use and protect the personal information you share with us. This Policy applies to all users of www.appfeed.net or our services. By accessing or using this website or service on any computer, mobile phone, tablet, console or other device (collectively "Site"), you consent to our Privacy Policy.

By using our website, you are accepting the practices we describe here.

If you have any questions, please click here for information on how to contact us.

AppFeed reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove provisions of this Privacy Policy. If we make any material changes we will notify you by means of a notice on this Site prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to check back from time to time to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Privacy Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Your use of this Site constitutes your acceptance to be bound by this Privacy Policy without limitation, qualification or change. If at any time you do not accept all the terms and conditions contained herein, you must immediately discontinue use of this Site.

What Information We Collect

AppFeed gathers two basic types of information through the Site: "Personally Identifiable Information" (or "PII") and "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" (or "Non-PII"). PII is information that identifies or can identify you as an individual, and Non-PII is aggregated information, demographic information, IP addresses, geographic location and any other information that does not reveal your specific identity.

a. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. When you visit and interact with the Site, AppFeed and third parties with whom AppFeed has contracted to provide services to AppFeed may collect Non-PII (for example, a catalog of the Site pages you visit). Non-PII is anonymous and does not identify you personally. Non-PII is generally collected through the Site from four different sources: Internet protocol addresses and web logs; cookies; and other similar technologies; and other Non-PII that you voluntarily provide (as explained below).

1. i. IP Protocol Addresses and Web Logs. This Site's web servers automatically collect the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and log files of visitors. Your IP address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. This information is collected in an aggregate form only and does not contain any PII. We use your IP address, and the IP addresses of all users, for purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose problems with the Site's servers, and administering the Site. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites. In addition to the Non-PII usage of IP Addresses described above we also may link your IP address to personally identifiable information for fraud prevention purposes.
2. Cookies. We and our third party service providers may use a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how you use the Site. Cookies reside on your computer and help the Site recognize your computer's browser as a previous visitor. For example, when you sign in to your AppFeed account, cookies will be used to save your sign-in status so the next time you visit your AppFeed account from the same computer we will "remember" your email address and name in order to make your experience faster and simpler. On occasion our Site may also set a "session cookie" which helps us administer the Site. The session cookie expires when you close your browser and does not retain any information about you after it expires. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you should be able to modify your browser preference to provide you with choices relating to cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may be unable to use certain Site services (e.g., those services that require you to log on to the Site in order to participate).
3. Pixel Tags. We and our service providers may also use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some Site pages and HTML-formatted email messages to track your use of our website in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience the next time you visit. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel (1x1), that is ordinarily not visible to Site visitors and may be associated with cookies on the visitors' hard drives. Pixel Tags do not contain any PII and allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when an email has been opened.

b. Personally Identifiable Information. When you sign up to use this server, you provide the OpenID information by the OpenID provider that includes the user's full name and email, and later a list of applications that are connected to the user account.

How Information We Collect Is Used

a. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Because Non-PII does not personally identify you, we may use such information for any purpose. For example, we may use Non-PII to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site and pages viewed as well as to diagnose problems with our servers and to administer the Site. We may then use this information to analyze and improve the features and functionality of this Site. In some instances, we may combine Non-PII with PII (such as embedding email addresses in cookies). If we do combine any Non-PII with PII, the combined information will be treated as PII. This "combined" PII is not shared with third parties, except as described in this Policy.

You should feel confident using our website. However, no system can be completely secure. Although we take very significant steps to secure your information, there is always a chance that your information will not always remain secure, and you should always take great care in handling and disclosing your personal information. For example, avoid sending personal information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission's website at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/menus/consumer/data.shtm for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.

b. Personally Identifiable Information

1. Site. We may use PII you give us to better tailor your website experience to your interests, to show you content in which you may be interested and to display the content according to your preferences.
2. Communications. Unless you opt out, we may use your PII to send you information about AppFeed and its services. If at any time you change your mind and prefer to no longer receive such communications from us, please contact us.

Encryption

We know it is very important to protect the information you share with us. We take appropriate security measures to help safeguard this information from unauthorized access and disclosure. As a primary safety measure all the users' PII in the database is encrypted using AES encryption with 256bit key, and the users' OpenID identifier is saved only as a cryptographic hash. The feed unique identifier is a cryptographic hash of some of the users' data and some random data.

With the current security measures, any unauthorized access to the database will result in a collection of encrypted blobs with no connection to any personal user information or the OpenID identifier keys.
