Privacy notice (draft).
What we collect on this website, why, and what you can do about it.
1. What this covers
This notice covers the Apointly Technologies website, including accounts, demo requests, the contact form and Android APK downloads. It does not cover external services we may link to.
2. Accounts
You can sign in with Google or with your phone number (a one-time SMS code). Both methods are handled by Firebase Authentication. When you sign in we receive:
- A verified Firebase user ID
- Your Google email address and name (Google sign-in only)
- Your phone number in international format, e.g. +2547xxxxxxxx (phone sign-in only)
We use these only to identify your account. We do not automatically link Google and phone identities; linking happens only when you ask for it while signed in.
3. APK downloads
When you download an Android package (APK) from this site we record:
- Your account (the user who requested the download)
- Which release you downloaded, and when
- The outcome (successful, denied, rate-limited, or an error)
- A request/correlation ID used for troubleshooting
- Your IP address and browser user-agent, for security and abuse prevention
Download tracking records that your account requested a file. It does not prove that the APK was installed or used. We never log passwords, one-time codes, or sign-in tokens.
4. Contact form
We keep the name, email, organisation, subject and message you send, so we can respond and keep a basic record. Submissions are rate-limited and protected against automated abuse.
5. Retention
Exact retention periods are still being decided with the owner. As a draft principle: account data is kept while your account exists; download events and contact messages are kept only as long as needed for support, security and basic business records, then deleted or anonymised.
6. Who can access it
Access is restricted to authorised Apointly staff. Download event records are visible only to staff with explicit reporting permission.
7. Cookies and local storage
We use only the session and security cookies needed to keep you signed in and protect forms (CSRF). There are no advertising trackers on this site.
8. Third parties
Firebase Authentication (Google) verifies your sign-in. SMS one-time codes are sent through Firebase; standard SMS operator charges may apply. We will update this notice if other processors are added.
9. Your choices
- You can stop using your account at any time.
- You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data by contacting Apointly.
- You can decline to acknowledge this notice; you simply will not be able to download APKs.
10. Contact about your data
Contact details will appear here once confirmed: an email address for privacy questions will be published before launch.
11. Changes
We will update this page when the notice changes. The date of the last substantive update will be shown here.
