Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use The Real App Store, we collect:

  • Account Information: Email address, name, and profile details when you sign up.
  • Payment Information: Processed securely through Stripe. We never store your full credit card number.
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, and error logs to improve our service.
  • Developer Submissions: App code submitted for review, Docker images, and documentation.
  • Contact messages: Your name, email address, the topic you choose and your message when you write to us through the contact form. No account is needed.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Process purchases and manage your account.
  • Conduct security reviews and quality verification of submitted apps.
  • Send transactional emails (purchase confirmations, submission status updates, payout notifications).
  • Improve our platform and troubleshoot issues.
  • Answer the messages you send us.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

3. Self-Hosted Apps & Your Data

Apps purchased on The Real App Store are deployed to your own infrastructure (Digital Ocean, AWS, or Azure). Once deployed, your app data resides entirely on your servers. We have no access to your deployed application data. This is a core principle of our platform: your data, your servers.

4. Data Sharing

We share data only with:

  • Stripe: For payment processing.
  • Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES): Delivers our emails.
  • Cloud Providers: Only during the deployment process, using tokens you provide.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Data Security

We use AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive data, HMAC-SHA256 for license validation, rate limiting on all API endpoints, and CSRF protection. All connections use HTTPS.

6. Your Rights

You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Messages sent through the contact form are deleted from our contact inbox after 12 months, or sooner if you ask. Each message is also emailed to our support team so they can answer you.
