Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when the American App Hub platform is used. The platform includes the public website, developer website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, users and developers acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to:

This policy applies only to the American App Hub platform itself. Applications distributed through the App Hub may have their own privacy practices.

2. Public Information

The App Hub platform is designed to make certain information publicly accessible.

Any information that is submitted for the purpose of publishing, describing, or rating an application may be publicly displayed.

This may include:

Users should assume that all information manually uploaded to the Service for any purpose will be visible to users and may be indexed by search engines.

Information that is intended for public display should not contain sensitive personal data.

3. Developer Information

Developers may be asked to provide information when creating an account or publishing apps.

This information may include:

Some of this information may be publicly displayed as part of application listings. The Service may also maintain internal records for operational purposes, such as account management and abuse prevention.

The "Developer Console" requires users to create an account.

4. Anonymous Usage Statistics

The Service collects limited anonymous statistics to help operate and improve the platform.

These statistics are collected in the form of incremented counters or similar aggregated metrics.

Examples may include:

These statistics are collected without identifying individual users.

Aggregated statistics may be displayed publicly as part of the App Hub interface or developer tools.

For example:

Because these statistics are aggregated counters, they are not intended to identify individual users.

5. Age Category Verification

The Service verifies user age categories before allowing certain app downloads.

Age categories may include ranges such as:

The purpose of this verification is to help enforce:

The age category information may be stored by the Service. Exact ages are not stored. To obtain this age category information, the Service temporarily obtains personally identifying information in the form of photographs of ID cards. The ID card photographs are processed and confirmed on-device. After the necessary age category is extracted, the non-age information is deleted.

6. Age Category Sharing With Applications

Age category information may be shared with applications installed from the American App Hub or other locations.

This sharing is limited to age category status, not exact birth dates.

The purpose of this sharing includes:

Applications may use this information to determine whether features or content should be available.

Developers are required to use age category information only for compliance and eligibility purposes.

7. Device and Technical Information

Limited technical information may be collected when the Service is used. This collection is entirely voluntary and is disabled by default.

This information may include:

This information is used to:

This information is generally processed in aggregated or non-identifying form.

8. Cookies and Web Technologies

The developer console and the related webpages use "local storage" to keep you signed into your developer account. Traditional "cookies" are not used for this purpose.

Other portions of the website do not use cookies, session storage, or other similar technologies. This decision ensures simplicity and privacy.

9. Information Shared With Developers

Developers may receive certain information related to their applications.

This may include:

Information shared with developers is intended to help analyze trends, operate their applications, and comply with policies.

For non-developers, personally identifying information is not collected and therefore cannot be shared.

10. Data Security

Reasonable security measures are used to protect platform systems and data.

However, no system can guarantee complete security.

Developers and users are encouraged to protect their accounts and privacy by:

11. Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as necessary to:

Public information associated with published applications may remain visible even if developer accounts are inactive.

Data that is not collected cannot be retained.

12. Children's Privacy

The Service may verify age categories in order to restrict access to certain content. If users are identified as belonging to an age group that requires additional protection under applicable laws, restrictions may be applied to certain applications or features. Parents or guardians who believe that a child has provided personal information improperly may contact the platform operator.

13. Third-Party Applications

Applications available through the American App Hub are created by independent developers. These applications may collect or process user information according to their own privacy policies. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of individual applications before using them. The American App Hub platform is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party applications.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time.

Updates may reflect:

Continued use of the Service after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

15. Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy may be directed to the platform operator through the contact information listed on the American App Hub website.
