Apprlly is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information when you visit our publication, interact with our content, or communicate with our editorial desk.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in strict data minimization. As an independent digital magazine, we do not require user registration, we do not sell products, and we do not harvest personal data for commercial profiling.

Voluntary Contact Information: When you submit an inquiry through our editorial contact form, we collect your name, email address, message subject, and the contents of your inquiry.
Technical & Server Logs: When accessing our servers, standard diagnostic data is temporarily generated to ensure network security and prevent denial-of-service attacks. This may include hashed IP addresses, browser types, and timestamped page requests.

2. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing

We process your information exclusively under the following lawful grounds established by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and international privacy frameworks:

Consent and User Communication: Responding directly to feedback, editorial corrections, or partnership proposals submitted voluntarily by you.
Legitimate Interests: Maintaining site stability, optimizing page loading performance, and safeguarding our digital infrastructure against security threats.

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

Apprlly does not deploy third-party trackers that record your browsing habits across different websites. Any performance measurement tools we use operate with privacy-preserving configurations (such as IP anonymization) strictly to understand aggregate readership patterns.

4. Data Retention

Editorial correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to address your inquiry or maintain institutional editorial records, typically not exceeding twelve (12) months. Security log entries are purged automatically on a regular cycle.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including the GDPR and CCPA), you hold the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access: You may request confirmation of whether we hold personal data concerning you and obtain a copy.
Right to Rectification: You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Right to Erasure: You may request that we delete your contact messages from our records.
Right to Object: You may object to any processing based on legitimate interests at any time.
