PlayStore Radar is operated by Impulse Teknoloji A.Ş. (Marmara Teknopark, Türkiye). For anything in this policy, write to hb@impulseteknoloji.com.
You do not need an account to use this site. An account is optional and only needed for the Rank Tracker; it is the one place we ask for an email address. This policy describes everything that gets collected.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people visit. It sets cookies and records the pages you view, approximate location (derived from IP, which Google truncates), device type, browser and referring site. We see this only as aggregated statistics — we cannot identify you from it.
You can opt out with Google's browser add-on, any tracker-blocking extension, or your browser's "do not track" and cookie-blocking settings. The site works normally either way.
If you choose to follow a developer, your browser creates a push subscription and we store it: the subscription URL your browser's push service issues, the two keys needed to encrypt messages to it, and the list of developers you follow. That is the whole record — there is no account and no identifier we could link to you personally.
It is used for one thing: sending a notification when a developer you follow releases a new app. To delete it, turn off notifications for this site in your browser settings, or unfollow every developer. Subscriptions that your browser revokes, or that fail repeatedly, are deleted automatically.
If you create an account we store your email address, an optional name, your password as a salted one-way hash (never the password itself), the apps you choose to track, and session records that keep you signed in (a random token kept in an HttpOnly cookie; we store only its hash). Your email is used to sign you in and to send password-reset links you ask for — never for marketing, and never shared.
You can delete the account at any time from the Account page; this removes the account, its sessions and its tracked apps at once.
If you contact us through the support page we store your email address, the optional name you give, and the messages of the conversation, so we can answer and keep the history of the ticket. They are kept until you ask us to delete them.
Our web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, browser user agent) for security and debugging. They are not used to build profiles and are not shared.
Everything shown about apps — titles, icons, screenshots, ratings, install counts, release dates, version notes — is public information published by developers on the Google Play Store. We collect no personal data about developers beyond the developer name shown publicly on their listings. If you are a developer and want a listing removed from this site, email hb@impulseteknoloji.com and we will take it down.
We do not sell or rent data. The only third parties involved are Google (Analytics) and your own browser's push service (Google, Mozilla, Apple or Microsoft, depending on your browser), which delivers notifications you asked for. Data may be disclosed if legally required.
Analytics data follows Google Analytics' retention settings. Push subscriptions are kept until you remove them or they stop working. Accounts are kept until you delete them. Server logs are rotated regularly.
Under Turkish data protection law (KVKK) and, where it applies, the GDPR, you can ask what data we hold about you, request correction or deletion, and object to processing. Email hb@impulseteknoloji.com and we will respond. In practice the only record tied to your browser is a push subscription, which you can delete yourself at any time from your browser's notification settings.
This site is a research tool aimed at developers and industry professionals. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes will be noted on the site.
