Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This notice explains how Application Robot handles personal information when you browse the public website, create an account, contribute to the forum or use its guides and comparisons. The community welcomes readers and contributors around the world. "We" and "us" refer to the website administrators. Do not publish sensitive information in a forum post or include it in a moderation report.

1. Information handled by the site

Public member profiles are distinct from private sign-in credentials. Do not include other people's private information in forum content.

2. Why information is used

Account details support registration, email confirmation, sign-in, password recovery and ownership of contributions. Content and images are stored so the forum can display them. Reports and technical information support moderation, abuse prevention and troubleshooting. An email address and password are needed for an account, but you do not have to provide your real name to participate.

Where applicable law recognises these legal bases, including under European Economic Area (EEA) and UK data protection law, account and contribution processing necessary to provide the service relies on performance of our agreement with you. Proportionate security, moderation and maintenance rely on legitimate interests in keeping the website safe and working, balanced against your rights. Processing required by law relies on legal obligation. Optional consent-based uses would require a separate choice; accepting the terms is not consent to advertising or unrelated use of your information. These legal terms do not replace any consent or other requirement that applies in your jurisdiction.

3. What other visitors can see

Your published display name, contributions, dates and associated images can be read by anyone visiting the public website. Public content may appear in search engines or be copied by other people; an indexing restriction does not make a page private. Sign-in email addresses and moderation reports are not published as forum content. Administrators can access records needed to run and moderate the service. Do not put anything into a contribution that you would not want other readers to retain or share.

Uploaded files are stored without automatic removal of embedded metadata. Photographs may contain location, device or date information; remove it yourself before uploading. Image filenames and direct media links can also reveal information. Unpublishing a post does not by itself remove its image file or copies downloaded by other people.

4. Hosting, storage and service providers

Vercel hosts and delivers the website. Supabase provides authentication, forum and guide records, and uploaded-image storage. Providers handle the request and account information needed for those services, including authentication emails, security and infrastructure logs. Authorised administrators also handle content and backups in the website's maintenance environment.

Service providers process information needed to deliver their functions, including authentication emails and infrastructure logs. Their infrastructure and support may involve processing outside your country. This notice does not promise a particular storage region or transfer arrangement. The administrator can check the project's configured region and applicable provider safeguards for a request. See Supabase's privacy information and Vercel's privacy notice. Provider notices do not replace our responsibility for the information we collect through this website.

We do not sell personal information or use it for advertising in this website. Information may be disclosed where necessary to meet a legal obligation or handle a security incident, with the scope limited to what is needed.

5. Cookies, images and external links

Supabase sign-in uses authentication cookies to maintain and refresh your session. These support account access, not advertising. Signing out ends the site's active session; you can also clear cookies in your browser. Blocking them may prevent account functions from working. The application currently has no added advertising trackers or audience analytics.

First-party authentication cookies use names starting with sb- and ending in -auth-token, sometimes split into numbered parts. They hold session credentials and must not be shared. The current authentication library sets a maximum cookie lifetime of 400 days, renewed when it updates the cookie; this is not a promise that a sign-in remains valid for that long. Temporary verification cookies may also be used during account confirmation or password recovery. Clear this site's cookies in your browser to remove stored credentials from that device.

Following an external link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices. Where a page loads externally hosted imagery, your browser sends the image provider a request that can include your IP address and browser information. We do not control those providers' records or policies.

6. Retention and removal

Account records are kept while needed for participation and account administration. Published contributions are retained to preserve discussions until removed or the site data is retired. Reports may be retained while needed to resolve issues, prevent repeated abuse or establish or defend legal claims. Relevant criteria include whether a record is still needed, any unresolved dispute and any applicable legal retention requirement.

There is currently no automatic account-erasure or fixed backup-purge schedule in the application. Unpublishing posts and hiding replies changes their visibility but retains the underlying records. Closing a discussion after six months of inactivity does not erase it. Deletion requests need administrator review, including associated images, account records and backups. Backup copies may remain until separately removed or replaced; deletion is not instantaneous.

7. Your choices and rights around the world

You can choose not to register, use a pseudonymous display name, sign out, and manage your contributions through your account. Depending on the law that applies to you and this service, you may request access, correction, deletion or erasure, restriction or portability of your personal information, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. These rights have conditions and exceptions; not every right applies in every country or to every organisation. Any consent for a future optional use can be withdrawn without changing the lawfulness of earlier processing.

Right to object: where applicable law provides this right, you may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your situation. This right is separate from your ability to hide a contribution or close your browser.

Privacy requests require administrator review. Signed-in members can use the private report form to request contact about their account. Describe the request without sending passwords, identity documents or payment details. The form requires sign-in and is not an access route for people without an account. A dedicated public privacy contact is not yet listed on this website.

We may need proportionate information to confirm that a request relates to your account. Requests must be handled within the time required by applicable law. There is no self-service account deletion tool at present; signing out or hiding a post does not delete your account.

Your country or state may provide additional rights, such as opting out of particular uses of information, using an authorised agent or appealing a denied request. These depend on the law's scope and eligibility requirements. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. This notice does not limit mandatory privacy rights available to you.

Privacy authorities and complaints

You may be able to raise a concern with the privacy or consumer protection authority responsible for your location or the processing involved. Follow that authority's eligibility rules and complaint procedure, including any requirement to contact us first. Examples of official resources include:

This is not an exhaustive list or a statement that every listed authority has jurisdiction over this website. The Global Privacy Assembly directory links to additional privacy authorities worldwide.

8. Security, age and changes

Account verification and permission checks protect posting and account controls, but no service is entirely secure. Use a unique password and do not upload identity documents, financial details or confidential robot-system credentials. This website is intended for adults aged 18 or over; contact the administrator if a child has provided personal information so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

We will update this notice when data handling changes and highlight material changes before a new use where required. This notice is specific to Application Robot. The Terms and Conditions also apply to participation.
