1. Information We Collect
When you use The Real App Store, we collect:
- Account Information: Email address, name, and profile details when you sign up.
- Payment Information: Processed securely through Stripe. We never store your full credit card number.
- Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, and error logs to improve our service.

- Comply with legal obligations.
3. Self-Hosted Apps & Your Data
Apps purchased on The Real App Store are deployed to your own infrastructure (Digital Ocean, AWS, or Azure). Once deployed, your app data resides entirely on your servers. We have no access to your deployed application data. This is a core principle of our platform: your data, your servers.
4. Data Sharing
We share data only with:
- Stripe: For payment processing.
- Resend: For transactional email delivery.
- Cloud Providers: Only during the deployment process, using tokens you provide.
We never sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Data Security
We use AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive data, HMAC-SHA256 for license validation, rate limiting on all API endpoints, and CSRF protection. All connections use HTTPS.
6. Your Rights
You may request to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
