Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Websody AG (“IndieAppScale”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects your personal information when you use indieappscale.com and our services (the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to this policy.
1. Who we are
The data controller is Websody AG, registered at Gerechtigkeitsgasse 25, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland. For any privacy question, contact us at help@authorscale.com.
2. Information we collect
- Account information. Your email address, and — if you sign in with Google or Apple — the basic profile information (name, email) those providers share with us.
- Authentication data. Sign-in is passwordless and handled by Amazon Cognito. We do not store passwords. One-time codes are sent to your email solely to verify it's you.
- Content you provide. App details and assets you submit so we can generate video ads on your behalf.
- Connected social accounts. If you connect a TikTok account, we receive the basic profile information and permissions you authorize through TikTok's official flow (such as your display name and account identifier), and access tokens used solely to act on your behalf — for example, publishing content you created. You can revoke this access at any time from your settings or from TikTok.
- Usage and device data. Privacy-friendly, aggregated analytics (page views, referrers, approximate region) collected without cross-site tracking cookies.
3. How we use your information
- To create and secure your account and authenticate your sign-ins.
- To provide, operate and improve the Service.
- To communicate with you about your account and service updates.
- To detect, prevent and address fraud, abuse and security incidents.
- To comply with legal obligations.
4. Legal bases
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the bases of performing our contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, your consent (where requested), and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Authentication, cookies and tokens
We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in. Session tokens are stored in secure, httpOnly cookies that your browser's scripts cannot read, and they expire automatically. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the Service, under appropriate safeguards, including:
- Amazon Web Services (hosting and Cognito authentication).
- TikTok (only if you connect your account — we share the content you choose to publish there, under TikTok's own terms and privacy policy).
- A privacy-friendly analytics provider (aggregated usage statistics only, no cross-site tracking).
- Authorities or third parties where required by law or to protect rights and safety.
7. International transfers
Your information may be processed in regions where we or our providers operate. Where data leaves your region, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
8. Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, then delete or anonymize it unless a longer period is required by law.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, export or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email help@authorscale.com. You may also delete your account at any time.
10. Security
We use industry-standard measures — encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and encryption at rest, managed authentication with expiring tokens, and least-privilege access — to protect your information. Access tokens for connected accounts (such as TikTok) are encrypted before they are stored and are never shared with other users or third parties. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and to notify you of incidents as required.
11. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the "Last updated" date above; material changes will be communicated as appropriate.
