This policy describes how MyAppAPI ("we", "us") handles personal information collected through the website at myappapi.com. It applies to people who read our documentation, browse the blog, or contact us by email. It does not cover separate terms that may apply if you use the MyAppAPI service under a contract — those are governed by the agreement you signed.
What we collect
We try to collect as little as possible. The categories below are the ones that may apply when you visit the site:
- Information you give us directly. If you email [email protected] or another listed address, we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any attachments. We use this to reply and to keep a record of the exchange.
- Technical data your browser sends. When you load a page, our hosting provider receives an IP address, request time, requested URL, referrer, and user-agent string. This is the standard data needed to serve the page and to detect abuse.
- Cookies and similar identifiers. See the cookie policy for the full list of cookies set and how to control them.
- Analytics and advertising data. Where third-party services are loaded (analytics, ads), they receive technical data and may set their own cookies. See the third-party section below.
Why we use it
- To run the site, deliver pages, and keep them secure.
- To answer emails and follow up on issues you raise.
- To understand which pages are read and which are not, so the documentation can be improved.
- To display advertising that helps fund the site.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use email addresses you send us for marketing.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser that let a site remember things between requests. The site uses a small set of first-party cookies for basic functionality (such as remembering whether you have dismissed the cookie banner), and third-party cookies set by Google AdSense and our analytics provider. Detail and controls are in the cookie policy.
Google AdSense and ad personalisation
Some pages display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. As part of this:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may show ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our sites and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or, in the EU, youronlinechoices.eu.
Google's full ad-policies and the categories of data they collect are described in the Google Advertising Policies and the Google Privacy Policy.
Analytics
We use a privacy-respecting analytics provider to count page views and understand which content is useful. Where the provider sets cookies, they are listed in the cookie policy. The data collected is aggregated and not used to identify individual visitors.
Third-party vendors
The following types of third party may receive data when you load a page on this site:
- Hosting and content-delivery providers, which receive request metadata as part of serving the page.
- Google AdSense and its partners, where ads are present on the page.
- Our analytics provider, where pageview data is sent.
- Embedded content providers (for example, when a page embeds something hosted elsewhere), which may set their own cookies.
Each of these vendors has its own privacy policy and is responsible for the data it processes.
How long we keep data
- Email correspondence: retained for as long as necessary to handle the request and for a reasonable period afterwards in case follow-up is needed; typically up to 24 months.
- Server access logs: retained for a short operational window (usually no more than 90 days) for security and debugging.
- Analytics aggregates: retained for as long as they remain useful for understanding trends.
- Third-party cookies: retention is set by each third party — see the cookie policy.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over personal information we hold about you. These include:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold.
- Correction — ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Deletion — ask us to delete information, subject to legal-retention exceptions.
- Objection — object to particular uses (for example, ad personalisation).
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Complaint — lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
EU/UK residents have these rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR. California residents have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know, the right to delete, the right to correct, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will need to verify the request before acting on it.
Children
The site is intended for a developer audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the underlying practices change — for example, when we add a new vendor or change how a feature works. The "Last reviewed" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent material update.
Governing law
This policy is governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from it is subject to the courts of that jurisdiction.
