Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

Apprateus (“Apprateus”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a brand operated by Tobodigi Solution LLC, a Maryland (USA) limited liability company with its mailing address at 7570 South Arbory Ln, Laurel, MD 20707, USA. Apprateus is a studio offering custom mobile app, web application and website development, including design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance. This policy explains what personal information we collect through apprateus.com, our enquiry channels and our projects, and how we use and protect it, and the choices and rights you have. Tobodigi Solution LLC is responsible for your personal information.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us - Contact details: name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, business name and country or city. - Project information: your brief, budget, files, content, feedback and messages. - Billing details: billing name, address and invoice details. We do not receive or store your full card number. Card and account details are entered directly with our payment processors. - Account access that you choose to share for your project (for example hosting, Shopify, publishing or app store accounts). We use this only for your project and ask you to change passwords after handover.

Information collected automatically - Device and usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring site and approximate location, collected through cookies and similar technologies (section 4).

Information from others - Payment confirmations and fraud-screening results from our payment processors, and information from platforms you connect us to for your project.

2. How we use your information

  • To respond to enquiries, prepare quotes and deliver the services you order;
  • To process payments, issue invoices and handle refunds, disputes and chargebacks;
  • To communicate with you about your project, including by email, phone, chat or WhatsApp;
  • To prevent fraud, secure our systems and enforce our terms;
  • To improve our website and services, and measure our advertising, with your consent where the law requires it;
  • To send occasional marketing emails if you have agreed or the law allows it. You can unsubscribe at any time;
  • To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations.

3. Payment processors

Payments are processed by Stripe, PayPal and Payoneer. When you pay, you give your payment details directly to the processor, which handles them under its own privacy policy and security standards (including PCI-DSS for card data). The processors share with us confirmation of payment, the amount, your name and email, the last digits or type of your card, and fraud-screening results. They may also use your information to meet their own legal obligations, such as anti-money-laundering checks.

4. Cookies and third-party content

Our website uses a small amount of local storage needed for it to work (for example remembering your cookie choice). We do not use advertising pixels or analytics trackers on apprateus.com. With your consent, we load:

  • Live chat (Tawk.to): lets you chat with us. Tawk.to may set its own cookies.
  • Embedded YouTube video: shown in privacy-enhanced mode, and loaded only after you accept cookies or press play. YouTube may set its own cookies.

Map links open Google Maps in a new tab only when you click them. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the site footer, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where applicable.

5. Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed with:

  • Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal and, where agreed, Payoneer);
  • Service providers who help us run our business, such as website hosting (for example Hostinger), email, our email and project management systems, live chat, cloud storage, analytics and advertising platforms;
  • Team members and contractors working on your project, who must keep it confidential;
  • Third-party platforms you ask us to work with (Apple App Store, Google Play, hosting and cloud providers, and third-party APIs);
  • Professional advisers, and authorities when the law requires it or to protect our rights, our customers or the public;
  • A successor business if the brand or the company is sold or reorganised.

6. International transfers

Tobodigi Solution LLC is based in the United States, and our providers and team members may be in other countries. Your information may therefore be processed outside your country. These countries may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual commitments.

7. How long we keep information

We keep enquiry records for up to 24 months after our last contact, and project, invoice and payment records for as long as needed for the project and for tax and legal purposes (generally 7 years). Project files are kept as described in our Delivery & Fulfillment Policy. After these periods, we delete or anonymise the information.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, such as access controls, encrypted connections (HTTPS) and reputable service providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please do not send card details, passwords or sensitive information through our enquiry forms, chat or WhatsApp.

9. Children

Our services are for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Your rights (United States, including California)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to: - Know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and get a copy of it; - Ask us to correct or delete your personal information; - Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and of targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information. Where advertising pixels count as “sharing”, you can opt out through our cookie or tracking preferences, through GPC, or by emailing us; - Limit the use of sensitive personal information (we do not collect sensitive personal information for that purpose); - Not be discriminated against for using these rights.

California residents have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA). Residents of other US states with consumer privacy laws may have similar rights. Visitors from the UK, EU or other regions may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and to complain to their local data protection authority. Where those laws apply, we process your information to perform our contract with you, to meet legal obligations, for our legitimate interests in running and improving our business, or with your consent.

To make a request, email info@apprateus.com with the subject line “Privacy request”. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and you may use an authorised agent. We respond within the time the law requires (generally 30–45 days).

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows when it last changed. If we make a significant change, we will make it clear on our website.
