1. Who operates AppsWide

AppsWide is a global software/product discovery, product-information, professional/community and related digital service operated by ENBRACQ, a Bangladesh proprietorship operated by Mehedi Hasan.

For privacy requests, the production contact addresses must be confirmed and activated before publication. Proposed role addresses are:

• Privacy: privacy@appswide.com

• Legal: legal@appswide.com

• Support: support@appswide.com

• Security: security@appswide.com

These addresses are proposed contact points only until their live delivery is verified.

2. Scope

This Notice applies to AppsWide websites, accounts, product profiles, community features, owner/vendor tools, review and rating features, buyer decision features, and other AppsWide services that link to this Notice.

It does not automatically apply to third-party products, websites, services, payment providers, or external links listed or reached through AppsWide. Those parties have their own privacy practices.

3. Information we may process

Depending on how you use AppsWide, we may process:

Account and identity data

Name, email address, account identifiers, authentication information, profile information, role/status and account-security records.

Public profile and community data

Profile biography, avatar or other voluntarily published profile fields, posts, comments, replies, reactions, follows, notifications, reports, appeals and other content or interaction records.

Product and company information

Product/company submissions, owner or representative claims, business information, supporting evidence, corrections, update requests, product relationships and publication/verification state.

Reviews and decision signals

Ratings, written reviews, likes/dislikes, saves, shortlists, watches and related moderation or anti-abuse records.

Technical and security data

IP address, user-agent/device/browser information, request identifiers, timestamps, authentication/session events, security events, audit records and diagnostic information reasonably required to operate and protect the service.

Communications

Information you provide when contacting support, privacy, security, correction, rights or other AppsWide channels.

Payment information

If paid, sponsored or other transaction features are enabled, payment processing may be performed by a designated payment provider. AppsWide may receive transaction, account, billing-status and fraud-prevention metadata necessary to provide the relevant service. AppsWide does not intend to store full payment-card credentials when the payment provider can process them directly.

Cookies and similar technologies

AppsWide may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies for authentication, session security, preferences and service operation. Optional analytics or advertising technologies, where used, will be handled according to applicable consent requirements.

4. How we use information

We may process information to:

• create and secure accounts;

• authenticate users and maintain sessions;

• provide profiles, product pages, search, discovery and community functions;

• publish information that you intentionally submit for public display;

• process owner/company claims, evidence and corrections;

• operate reviews, ratings, moderation, appeals and abuse prevention;

• maintain Product/Company data quality and provenance;

• detect fraud, manipulation, spam, security attacks and policy violations;

• provide support and respond to rights/privacy/security requests;

• maintain backups, audit records, reliability, incident response and service security;

• comply with applicable law and lawful requests;

• establish, exercise or defend legal claims;

• improve the reliability and usability of AppsWide;

• provide paid, sponsored or transaction features when those features are enabled.

We will not use personal data for a materially incompatible purpose without an applicable legal basis and, where required, appropriate notice or consent.

5. Legal bases

Depending on the processing and applicable jurisdiction, we may rely on:

• your consent, where consent is required;

• performance of a contract or steps requested before entering a contract;

• compliance with legal obligations;

• protection of vital interests where applicable;

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

• legitimate interests where permitted by applicable law and where necessity and proportionality requirements are satisfied;

• information that you voluntarily make public, where applicable.

Under Bangladesh's Personal Data Protection Act, 2026, consent must be voluntary, specific, clear and withdrawable, and the data subject must be informed about purpose, retention, transfer and withdrawal procedures. The Act also recognizes specified non-consent grounds including contractual performance, legal claims and certain legitimate interests.

6. Public information

AppsWide is designed to publish product and professional information. If you intentionally submit a profile, post, review, product record, company record or other field for public display, that information may become accessible to other users and search engines.

Do not publish another person's private information without an appropriate lawful basis or authorization.

7. Sharing and service providers

We may disclose or make information available to:

• infrastructure, hosting, database, security, email and support providers acting on our behalf;

• payment providers when transaction functionality is enabled;

• professional advisers where reasonably necessary;

• authorities or other parties where required by applicable law or lawful process;

• other users, when you intentionally publish information publicly;

• a successor or acquiring party if the business or relevant assets are transferred, subject to applicable law.

Service providers are expected to process personal data only for authorized purposes and under appropriate contractual or legal controls.

8. International processing and transfers

AppsWide operates internationally and may use service providers located in countries other than the country in which you live.

Where personal data is transferred across borders, we will use the safeguards and legal mechanisms required by applicable law. Bangladesh law contains specific conditions for cross-border transfers, including consent or specified contractual circumstances and requirements concerning appropriate technology and safeguards; additional notification requirements can apply to large cross-border transfers of certain sensitive identifiable data.

For users protected by EU/EEA data-protection law, applicable GDPR transfer safeguards may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or Binding Corporate Rules, as applicable.

9. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Some records may need to remain for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal claims, accounting, regulatory compliance, backups or audit purposes. Bangladesh's Personal Data Protection Act, 2026 also contains specific retention and record-keeping requirements, including a general five-year record-keeping rule subject to the Act's conditions.

When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize or otherwise dispose of it according to applicable law and our technical retention procedures.

10. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to:

• access personal data we process about you;

• obtain a copy or portable form where applicable;

• correct inaccurate or incomplete information;

• request deletion where legally available;

• request restriction or object to certain processing where applicable;

• withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;

• receive information about relevant automated decision-making where applicable;

• complain to the competent data-protection authority.

Bangladesh's 2026 Act provides access and portability rights and rights concerning correction, completion and updating, with request procedures governed by the Act and applicable regulations.

For EU/EEA users where GDPR applies, GDPR rights include access, rectification, erasure and restriction, among others.

11. Privacy requests

Privacy, access, correction, deletion and related requests should be sent through the production privacy/rights contact published by AppsWide.

We may need to verify the requester’s identity before fulfilling a request. We may refuse or limit a request only where permitted by applicable law and will explain the relevant reason where required.

12. Children

AppsWide is not directed to children under 18 as a V1 account/community service. We do not knowingly seek to create accounts for children under 18.

If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without the consent or authorization required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address the situation.

Bangladesh's Personal Data Protection Act, 2026 defines a child as a person under 18 and provides a parental/legal-guardian consent framework for processing a child's personal data.

13. Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature and risk of the processing, including access controls, authentication/session protections, logging and monitoring, security testing, backup/recovery controls and other measures appropriate to the service.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Bangladesh's 2026 Act requires appropriate technical and organizational measures and expressly identifies measures including pseudonymization, encryption, resilience, recovery and regular testing/evaluation.

14. Data breaches

Where a personal-data breach occurs, AppsWide will assess and handle it according to applicable law, including required notifications to authorities and affected individuals where the applicable legal threshold is met.

15. Automated systems and AI-assisted processing

AppsWide may use automated systems or AI-assisted tools for tasks such as product-data classification, duplicate detection, moderation assistance, fraud/abuse detection, search/discovery and operational support.

Automated assistance does not by itself change the governed publication or verification state of a product. AppsWide will not represent AI-generated or AI-assisted information as independently verified merely because an automated system produced it.

Where applicable law provides rights concerning solely automated decisions with significant effects, we will provide the protections required by that law.

16. Changes to this Notice

We may update this Notice when the service, law or processing practices change. Material changes will be communicated in a manner appropriate to the circumstances.

Each authoritative revision will have its own revision identifier and effective date.
