1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use any of our Sites or tools.

2. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use our tools. However, the following data may be collected automatically:

• Usage data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent — collected anonymously via Google Analytics.
• Cookies: Small text files placed by Google AdSense and Google Analytics for advertising and analytics purposes.
• URL inputs (Downloader tools): Social media URLs you paste into our Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest downloader tools are processed in-memory to fetch the video or image. We do not store, log, or share these URLs.
• Text inputs (Verify AI): Claims or text you submit to Verify AI are sent to the AI processing service for analysis. We do not store your submitted claims or associate them with any personal identifier.
• Contact form submissions: If you contact us via our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and message for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve our tools and services
• To display relevant advertisements via Google AdSense
• To analyse site traffic and usage patterns via Google Analytics
• To respond to contact form enquiries
• To detect and prevent abuse or misuse of our services

4. Social Media Content Processing

When you use our Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest downloader tools:

• We only access publicly available content. We cannot and do not access private accounts or content requiring authentication.
• The social media URL you submit is used solely to retrieve the requested video or image file. It is processed in real-time and is not retained on our servers after the request is completed.
• Downloaded files are served directly to your browser and are not stored on our servers beyond the duration of the request.
• We are not affiliated with Instagram (Meta), TikTok (ByteDance), or Pinterest. Our tools access publicly available content using the same methods as a regular web browser.

5. Verify AI — AI Processing

When you use our Verify AI fact-checking tool at verify.appexifycreations.com:

• The claim or text you submit is sent to an AI language model (Llama 3) for processing.
• We do not store your queries or the AI's responses beyond the duration of your session.
• Your queries are not used to train the AI model.
• We do not associate AI queries with any personally identifiable information.

6. Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our Sites. By using our Sites, you consent to the use of advertising cookies as described in this policy.

Google AdSense may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. This is known as interest-based advertising or personalised advertising.

Specifically, Google uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads based on your browsing behaviour across websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you visit partner sites by visiting: How Google uses data from partner sites.

Your Advertising Choices:

• Opt out of personalised advertising: Google Ads Settings
• Opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative: NAI Opt-Out
• European users can use: Your Online Choices
• Disable cookies via your browser settings at any time

Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies in conjunction with web beacons to compile data about our users' interactions with ads. We do not have access to or control over these third-party cookies.

7. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Sites. This data is aggregated and anonymous — it cannot be used to identify you personally. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

8. Cookies

Our Sites use cookies placed by Google AdSense and Google Analytics. By using our Sites, you consent to the use of these cookies. You can control and/or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

We do not use any additional first-party cookies for tracking or personalisation purposes.

9. Data Retention

We do not store personally identifiable information. Social media URLs processed through our downloader tools are not retained on our servers — all processing is ephemeral. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry.

10. Third-Party Links

Our Sites may contain links to third-party websites (such as Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Meta). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

12. GDPR & International Users

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. For any GDPR-related queries, please contact us via our Contact page.

13. Changes to This Policy
