Last updated: February 2026
1. Introduction
VibePick is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our web application directory platform.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, including: account information (name, email, profile photo) when you sign in with Google; app submission data (app details, screenshots, descriptions); and reviews and ratings you submit. We also automatically collect usage data including: device information, browser type, IP address; pages visited and features used; and analytics data to improve our service.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to: provide and maintain the VibePick platform; process and display your app submissions; send important service notifications; analyze usage patterns to improve our service; prevent fraud and ensure platform security; and comply with legal obligations.
4. Information Sharing
We may share your information with: Firebase (Google) for authentication and data storage; Algolia for search functionality; analytics providers to understand usage patterns. We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety. Importantly, VibePick does not share your personal information with the third-party apps listed on our platform without your explicit consent.
5. Third-Party Apps and Services
VibePick displays information about third-party web applications. When you click on a link to visit an external app, you are interacting directly with that third-party service, not with VibePick. We do not control and are not responsible for how third-party apps collect, use, or share your information. Each third-party app has its own privacy policy that governs how it handles user data. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of any app before using it. VibePick does not share your personal information with the third-party apps listed on our platform without your explicit consent.
6. External Links
Our platform contains links to external websites and applications that are not operated by VibePick. When you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. Your interactions with external sites are governed entirely by those sites' own terms and privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of every site you visit.
7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including: encrypted data transmission (HTTPS); secure authentication via Google Sign-In; regular security audits and updates; and access controls for our team. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
8. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. Some data may be retained for legal or legitimate business purposes.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to: access your personal data; correct inaccurate information; request deletion of your data; export your data in a portable format; and opt out of marketing communications. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@vibepick.io.
10. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to: maintain your session and preferences; analyze site usage and performance; and improve user experience. You can control cookie settings in your browser, but some features may not work properly without cookies.
