Last updated: 12 November 2026. This policy covers the website at appforgenews.info. It covers data submitted through the contact form, basic technical information recorded during visits, and your options for requesting access, correction, or deletion. Questions can be sent to [email protected].

Read this policy together with our Cookie Policy for the categories of cookies used and how to manage them in your browser.

Who is responsible

Data controller and contact

AppForge News operates the website at appforgenews.info and handles personal data for the purposes described in this policy.

Privacy requests, including requests for access, correction, or deletion of personal data, can be sent to [email protected]. Include enough detail to identify the data in question, such as the email address used in a contact message.

We will respond within a reasonable period and may ask for information needed to verify the request, so that data is not disclosed to someone who sent the message from a different address.

What to include in a request

  • EmailThe email address you used in the contact message, so the correct record can be found.
  • RequestWhether you want a copy, a correction, a restriction, or deletion, stated in plain words.
  • DetailThe approximate date of the message, or the page it was about, where you remember it.

Office hours for written requests are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The office is at 14-B, Main Boulevard, Gulberg III, Lahore, Punjab 54660, Pakistan.

Submitted by you

Personal data submitted through the contact form

When you send a message through the contact form, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, and the content of your message. This data is used to read, verify, and reply to your message, and to update a page if your message contains a confirmed correction.

We do not sell personal data or pass it to third parties for marketing. Contact details are not used to send unsolicited marketing messages. If a message raises a correction to an article or a download guide, only the confirmed correction is used to update the page.

Please do not include passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information in a contact message. If you send sensitive information by mistake, tell us in a follow-up message so it can be removed from the record.

Before you send

  • Your name and email address, so we can reply.
  • The page or download your message is about.
  • Nothing sensitive: no passwords, keys, or payment details.

Recorded during a visit

Technical data collected during visits

When you visit a page, standard technical information may be recorded, such as the pages you view, the date and time of the visit, the browser and operating system used, and the referring page.

This data is used to operate the website, understand which pages are read, and diagnose technical problems such as pages that fail to load or download guides that do not match the current version. Technical data is not used to build a profile of you for advertising by AppForge News, and retention of technical logs is limited to what is needed for those purposes.

Cookies and similar technologies

AppForge News uses cookies as described in the cookie policy page. Cookies may be used to remember basic preferences and to understand aggregate page use, such as which guides are read most often.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and blocking cookies may affect how some site features work. The cookie policy page lists the categories of cookies used and how to manage them, and this privacy policy should be read together with that page.

Aggregate page use is counted across visits. It is not combined with a contact message you sent, and it is not used to identify you for advertising by AppForge News.

Purpose

How personal data is used

Personal data is used only for the purposes stated in this policy: responding to contact messages, operating and securing the website, and, where applicable, updating editorial content in response to a verified correction. If you report that a download guide names the wrong version, the guide is checked against the current release and corrected where the report is confirmed.

We do not use contact details to send unsolicited marketing. If a legal obligation requires disclosure of data, we will disclose only what is required and only to the relevant authority.

In short

  • Replying to messages you send us.
  • Running and securing the site.
  • Correcting a page where your report is confirmed.
  • Nothing else, and no marketing mail from contact details.

Kept for a limited time

Retention and security

Contact form data is kept only as long as needed to handle the message and any related correction, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Technical logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostics.

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorized access. These measures cover who can read contact messages and how long technical logs are kept, rather than treating every record as permanent.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and for that reason sensitive information should not be sent through the contact form.

Your options

Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data. You may also object to certain processing and request a copy of data you provided.

  • Correct or delete dataRequest
  • Restrict use or object to processingRequest

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected] with a clear description of the request. We may ask for verification information to protect your data from unauthorized requests.

Current version

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website's data practices change. The current version will be published on this page, and material changes will be noted with an updated date.

Continued use of the website after a change takes effect means the updated policy applies to data handled after that date. Questions about earlier versions can be sent to [email protected].
