Privacy
I believe apps should be available to everyone and should keep their users' data safe above all else. This site is built the same way.
What this site does not do
- No cookies.
- No JavaScript, tracking pixels or analytics scripts.
- No accounts, forms or sign-ups, so nothing you type is collected.
- No third-party requests. Fonts, images and styles are all served from trough.dev, and the site's security policy blocks anything else from loading.
- No ads, and nothing is sold or shared.
What happens when you visit
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare handles each request, which includes your IP address, browser user agent, the page requested and the time. It uses this to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. I only look at aggregate totals in the Cloudflare dashboard, such as visits per day and visitors by country, and never try to identify individual visitors. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for how it handles that data.
Who is responsible
trough.dev is run by David McPhearson, who is responsible for the data described here (the data controller under the GDPR). Contact: privacy@trough.dev.
- Legal basis. The request data above is processed under a legitimate interest in delivering the site and keeping it secure.
- Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes it on my behalf under its data processing agreement. It may handle data outside your country, including in the United States; transfers from the EU, UK and Switzerland are covered by the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
- Retention. Cloudflare keeps request data only for the periods set out in its policy. I don't export or keep my own copy.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, or object to how it is used. Email privacy@trough.dev. I hold nothing that identifies you, so there may be nothing to return, but I will answer every request. If you are in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
The site doesn't track you, so it behaves the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
The apps
This policy covers trough.dev itself. Each app has its own privacy policy, either on its page here or on its own site, describing exactly what it collects and where it goes.
Every app follows the same principle: collect only what is needed for it to work. A free app usually needs nothing. A paid app may need what it takes to accept payment and deliver the app, and nothing more. Your data is never sold, and it is never used for advertising or tracking.
