Privacy Policy

Overview

This policy explains what information we collect when you browse or download from apkworld.com, how we use it, and what choices you have. You do not need an account to use the catalog, and we do not sell personal data.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember settings, maintain secure sessions, and understand aggregate traffic. Some cookies are set by us (first-party), while others may be set by services we use, such as analytics providers (third-party).

We may also use similar browser storage, such as local storage, to remember your theme (light/dark) and your cookie consent choice. That data remains on your device and is not used for advertising.

Cookies We Use

• Essential (Always On): These cookies are required for basic operations, such as admin login sessions, security, and storing your choice about optional cookies. They cannot be turned off while using the site.
• Analytics (Optional): These cookies are only loaded after you click Accept in our cookie banner. We use Google Analytics to measure page views, traffic sources, and general browsing patterns to improve the catalog. We do not use analytics for cross-site advertising or retargeting. Analytics cookies may include identifiers, such as a client ID generated by Google. We treat this information as aggregate usage data, not as a personal profile we build or sell.

Analytics

When you accept optional cookies, Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, referral source, approximate location, device type, browser type, and interaction events. This helps us identify useful pages, spot technical issues, and understand how visitors find apkworld.com following search indexing. Google processes analytics data according to its own terms. You can read more in Google's Analytics privacy documentation.

Your Choices

• Cookie Banner: The first time you visit, you can choose to Accept or Decline optional analytics cookies. Your choice will be saved in your browser. If you decline, Google Analytics will not load.
• Browser Settings: You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time. Please note that some site features may not work as smoothly if essential cookies are blocked. For general guidance, visit allaboutcookies.org.
• Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can install Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent GA from running in supported browsers.
• Change Your Mind: If you want to see the cookie banner again, clear the site data for apkworld.com in your browser settings, then reload the page.

What We Collect

You do not need an account to browse app pages or download files from apkworld.com.

• Server Logs: Our hosting stack records standard request metadata (such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamps) for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. These logs are kept for a limited time and are not used for marketing.
• Download Activity: When you download an APK, we log the request to provide our file service and detect abuse. This data is not tied to any advertising identity.

What We Don't Do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not run cross-site advertising or retargeting pixels.
• We do not request contacts, SMS, or device permissions; apkworld.com is a website, not an Android app.

Third-Party Services

Pages and files are delivered through hosting and CDN providers (including Cloudflare). They process network metadata to route traffic and protect the site. Optional analytics are provided by Google as mentioned above. App metadata and icons may originate from public store listings, and download files are served from our infrastructure or linked sources displayed on each app page.

Children

apkworld.com is a general-audience catalog. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will review the request.

Changes

We may update this policy if our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
