5) Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data under these legal bases:
- Consent for optional cookies, newsletters, or submissions where requested.
- Legitimate interests to run and protect the service, measure engagement, and improve content in a way that respects your privacy.

- Analytics and performance: to understand traffic and improve the experience.
- Functional: to remember your settings (e.g., category filters, sort order).
You can control cookies via your browser settings. Where required by law, we will request your consent for non-essential cookies and honor withdrawals of consent. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out in jurisdictions where this is required.

8) Data retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods consider the nature of the data, the purpose of processing, and legal/operational requirements.
9) Security
We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10) International data transfers
Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections.

11.1 EEA/UK
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or object to certain processing. You can also withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
11.2 California and certain U.S. states
Depending on your state, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, opt out of certain processing, or appeal our decision. If you reside in California, you may also request information about our data practices and opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Our directories include links to third-party websites and services. Their processing of your data is governed by their own privacy policies. Review those policies before providing information to third parties.
14) Directories and APIs
Appsroket curates listings across categories and may expose read-only endpoints (for example, /api/*.json) that contain public metadata about tools (such as names, links, tags). These endpoints are intended for discovery and presentation. Do not submit sensitive personal data to these endpoints. If you believe content in a listing includes personal data and want it removed or updated, email aappsroket@gmail.com.
