Introduction

AppsByTap (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a U.S.-based custom software company that values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through our marketing website (appsbytap.com) and how we use, store, and protect that information. It primarily applies to visitors in the United States. By using our site, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We do not collect more information than necessary, and we do not use your data for any purposes other than those outlined here.

Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you choose to give us or that is collected automatically for analytics purposes. This includes:

• Contact Information: If you fill out our website’s contact form, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, email address, and any additional details you include in your messagec-motive.com. This information is voluntarily provided by you.

• Website Usage Data: When you visit our site, we use Google Analytics to automatically collect certain technical data about your visit. This may include information like your device’s IP address, browser type, operating system, pages you visit on our site, and the date/time of your visitc-motive.com. Google Analytics uses browser cookies and similar technologies to gather this usage data. This information is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you.

We do not collect any sensitive personal data such as financial information, social security numbers, or any other information beyond the two categories above. Our site is intended for business inquiries, and we limit data collection to the minimum needed to serve that purpose.

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information collected through our site only for the purposes described in this policy and nothing else. Primarily, if you contact us, we will use your name and email address to respond to your inquiry or requestc-motive.com. For example, we may reply to provide information about our services or answer your questions. We store contact form submissions in our website’s Wix customer relationship management (CRM) system to help us manage and track communications. This data storage on the Wix platform is secure – Wix stores data on protected servers behind firewallssupport.wix.com. We do not use the information you provide to send you marketing emails or newsletters that you didn’t sign up for. In fact, we do not use your personal data for any marketing purposes, and we do not share it with third parties for marketingraiseaconcern.com.

Information collected via Google Analytics is used in an aggregated form to help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its performance, design, and contentc-motive.com. For instance, analytics data might tell us which pages are most visited or if our site’s navigation is user-friendly. This allows us to make our website better suited to our audience’s needs. We only use analytics data for internal research and website optimization; we do not use it to profile individual visitors or for advertising. If you prefer not to be included in Google Analytics data, you can disable cookies in your browser. (Google also offers an opt-out browser add-on to prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics.)

Cookies and Google Analytics

“Cookies” are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Our site uses only basic cookies related to Google Analytics and the general functioning of the website. We do not use cookies for advertising or to collect personal details. The cookies used by Google Analytics help us count visitors and understand how they navigate our site. For example, Google Analytics cookies may track what pages you view and how long you stay, but they do not reveal who you are. The information obtained through these cookies (such as IP address and usage info) is sent to Google Analytics for analysisc-motive.com. We use this data to compile reports on website activity and to improve our site’s performance and user experience. Google may also use the collected data to improve their analytics services; however, this information is generally in aggregate form. We do not have access to personally identifying information through Google Analytics.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. If you disable cookies, please note that some site features (like embedded videos or forms) might not function exactly as intended, but our site will remain mostly usable. Disabling Google Analytics cookies will stop our site from including your visits in our analytics statistics. For more details on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, you can refer to Google’s own Privacy Policy. Remember, we only use analytics data to better our website – not to market to you.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We take your privacy seriously. Accordingly, we do not sell your personal information to anyonefennemorelaw.com. Whether you are an individual or representing a company, your data is never sold or rented. We also do not share your personal information with third-party companies for their own independent marketing or advertising purposesraiseaconcern.com.

The instances in which we do share data are limited to essential service providers and legal requirements, as described here:

• Service Providers: We use reputable third-party providers to help run our website and business. For example, our website is built on the Wix platform, and our contact form submissions are stored in Wix’s CRM database. We may also use standard email or cloud services to communicate with you. These providers process data on our behalf only for the purposes of hosting the website, storing data, or helping us respond to you. They are contractually obligated to keep your information secure and confidentialc-motive.com. In other words, they can’t use your data for anything except providing services to us. Similarly, data about site visits is shared with Google Analytics (a service provided by Google) so that we can use Google’s analytics tools. Google Analytics data usage is governed by Google’s terms and privacy policy. Rest assured that these service providers are widely used platforms that employ their own strong security measures to protect data.

• Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal information if required by law or a legal process, or if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal requests. For example, if we receive a court order or need to cooperate with law enforcement, we might have to share certain data as legally obligated. We may also share information if necessary to protect our rights, address fraud or security issues, or enforce our website’s terms of use. This is unlikely to ever happen, but we include this notice for completeness.

Aside from the above, no one outside of AppsByTap will receive your personal information. In summary: no selling of data, no unauthorized sharing. Your information is used strictly within our small business and trusted services (like Wix and Google Analytics) to serve you and operate our site.

Data Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your personal information. Because our site runs on the Wix.com platform, your data is stored through Wix’s data storage and databases, which are secured by Wix behind firewallssupport.wix.com. Wix is a well-known website hosting service that maintains stringent security measures, such as encryption and secure data centers, to safeguard information. Additionally, we implement other reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of your data. This includes using secure protocols (our site is HTTPS encrypted), regularly updating our systems, and restricting access to personal data to only those who need it.

While we strive to protect your information, it’s important to understand that no website or internet transmission is completely immune to risks. No method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% securec-motive.com, and therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security of information. However, we continuously review and improve our security practices to mitigate risks. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will follow applicable laws to inform you and take appropriate steps to address the issue. Your trust is important to us, and we work hard to protect the data you share with us.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy (such as responding to your inquiry) or as required by law. In practice, this means we will retain the information you provide through the contact form for as long as is necessary to fulfill your request or communicate with you, and then for a reasonable period afterward in case you have additional questions or to maintain our business records. We do not retain your data indefinitely or “just in case.” For example, if you reach out to us, we may save that correspondence to reference our discussion or to follow up later, but we will not keep it longer than necessary.

In general, personal data is retained only as long as needed or permitted for the purpose it was collectedfennemorelaw.com. Once we have no ongoing legitimate need or legal obligation to keep your information, we will delete it or anonymize it. Anonymizing data means we remove personal identifiers so that the information can no longer be linked back to you. If you would like us to delete the information you provided, you have the right to make that request at any time (see "Your Rights and Choices" below), and we will honor it unless we are required to keep the information for legal reasons.

Data that is collected via Google Analytics is retained in accordance with Google’s data retention settings. We currently follow Google Analytics’ default practices for data retention (which typically aggregate and remove personal data after a set period). We only view aggregate analytics reports and do not personally store that usage data in an identifiable way on our systems.

Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding the personal information you share with us, and we want to make it easy for you to exercise those rights. Because our website is primarily directed at U.S. users, we base our approach on U.S. privacy principles and any applicable state laws. Below are the choices and rights you have:

• Access and Update: You can request details about the personal information we have collected from you and ask us to correct or update it if it’s inaccurate or has changed. For instance, if you believe we have an incorrect spelling of your name or an old email address, let us know and we will update it.

• Deletion: You can ask us to delete the personal information you have provided. This is sometimes called the “right to be forgotten.” Unless we are required by law to keep that information (for example, for a legal compliance purpose), we will erase it upon your request.

• Withdrawal of Consent: If at any point you have given us consent to use your information (for example, if in the future we offer an opt-in newsletter and you subscribed), you can withdraw that consent. Currently, since we do not use your data for marketing or any purpose beyond responding to you, this mainly applies to Google Analytics cookies – you can opt out of those as described above, or simply refrain from using the site if you do not agree with this policy.

• Non-Discrimination: We will not treat you differently or deny you any service just because you exercised your privacy rights. If you request deletion or opt-out of communications, we will respect your decision with no negative impact on our willingness to work with you.

To make any request regarding your personal data, or to ask a question about your privacy, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. For example, if you would like to access, correct, or delete any personal information we have about you, you can reach out to us at any timesupport.wix.com. We may need to verify your identity (to ensure we’re updating or deleting the right person’s data), but we will make the process as simple as possible.

If you are a resident of certain states (such as California) or countries with specific privacy laws (like the EU’s GDPR), you may have additional rights under those laws. While our primary audience is in the U.S., we will do our best to honor any applicable privacy rights. For instance, California residents can request a notice of what categories of personal information we collect and for what purpose, which this policy already outlines, and can request that we delete their data, which we will do as described. If you have any privacy-related concern or request, please let us know and we will address it promptly.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13, nor do we knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years oldc-motive.com. The site is intended for business use by adults (or minors who are authorized by their adult guardians for business purposes). If you are under 13, please do not use the contact form or provide any personal information on our site. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as soon as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child may have provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately (see "Contact Us" below), and we will promptly investigate and remove the information. Protecting children’s privacy is extremely important to us, and we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States.

International Visitors

While AppsByTap primarily serves clients in the United States, our website could potentially be accessed from anywhere in the world. It’s important to note that we are a U.S. company and our website is operated from the United States. Therefore, if you are visiting our site from outside the U.S., be aware that any personal information you provide will be transferred to and processed in the United Statesreproductiverights.org. The data protection laws in the U.S. may not be the same as those in your home country. However, as stated in this policy, we will handle your information with care and security, and we will use it only for the purposes described here.

By using our site and giving us your information, you understand that your data will be stored and processed on servers located in the U.S. (for example, on Wix’s servers which may be in the U.S. or other locations as determined by Wix). We will protect the information to the best of our ability no matter where it is processed. If you are in a jurisdiction that grants you additional data rights, you can still contact us to exercise those rights, as noted in the previous section. However, please recognize that our website is intended for a U.S. audience and is governed by U.S. privacy laws. We do not currently claim compliance with international privacy laws like GDPR for EU users, as we do not actively target or serve those regions. If you are not a U.S. user, by using this site you consent to your information being handled as described in this Privacy Policy and transferred to the U.S.reproductiverights.org.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. If we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date and, if appropriate, provide a more prominent notice (such as a banner on our website or an email notification). Minor updates (such as clarifications) may occur without special notice, so we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. The “last updated” date at the bottom of this policy indicates when the latest changes were made. Your continued use of the website after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated terms. Rest assured, we will not use your personal information in a new way that is materially different from what is described here without notifying you and obtaining any required consent.
