5. Cookies and analytics
App4Ecom uses necessary cookies to keep you signed in, protect forms, maintain security, and remember certain preferences.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling necessary cookies may prevent some features from working correctly.
6. Public information and third-party links
Information you submit for publication, including vendor listings and reviews, may be visible to other visitors. App4Ecom also contains links to third-party websites and software vendors. Those websites have their own privacy policies and practices, and we are not responsible for them.
7. Data retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services, maintain business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and prevent abuse. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
