Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information APKDown collects when you visit apkdown.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Who we are

APKDown ("we", "us", "our") operates the website apkdown.com, an Android catalog that publishes app and game listings, APK download links, version history, and install guides in English, Portuguese (Brazil), and Indonesian.

You can browse and download from apkdown.com without creating an account. We do not ask for your name, phone number, or payment details to use the site.

2. Information we collect

Collected automatically

• Server logs: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, requested URL, and the date and time of the request.
• Download events: which file or version was requested, used to keep download counters accurate and detect abuse.
• Search queries you type into the site search, used to improve results.
• Cookies and similar technologies described in section 4.

Information you give us

If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to reply and to handle your request.

3. How we use information

• Operate the website, deliver pages, and serve download files reliably
• Keep mirrors healthy and prevent spam, scraping abuse, fraud, and attacks
• Measure traffic and popular content so we can improve listings and guides
• Show language-appropriate content (EN, PT-BR, ID)
• Respond to support, copyright, and privacy requests
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies & advertising

We use a small number of cookies to remember preferences (such as language) and to understand how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may then work less smoothly.

apkdown.com may display advertising served by third-party vendors, including Google. These vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to sites on the Internet.

• You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings.
• You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

5. Third parties

We work with service providers for hosting, content delivery (CDN), analytics, and advertising. They process technical data on our behalf or under their own privacy policies.

App listings may link to developer websites, official stores, or external mirrors. Apps you install are published by independent developers — their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not this one. Always review an app's permissions before installing.

6. Retention & security

Server logs are kept for a limited period (normally no longer than 90 days) unless needed longer to investigate abuse or meet legal requirements. Emails are kept as long as needed to resolve your request.

We use HTTPS, access controls, and reasonable technical measures to protect data. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live — for example under the GDPR (EU/UK), the LGPD (Brazil), the Personal Data Protection Law No. 27/2022 (Indonesia), or the CCPA (California) — you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct or delete it
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including personalised ads
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject "Privacy request". We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

apkdown.com is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date below shows when it was last changed. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
