Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-21

The short version

We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't want your personal information. You can browse and use this entire directory without identifying yourself.

What we collect

We use analytics to understand which pages are visited and which software people look for, so we know what to cover next. This is aggregate traffic data — page views, approximate region, referring site, device type — and is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies and advertising

This site displays advertising. Advertising partners, including Google and its partners, may set cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads, and in some cases to personalise them based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of personalisation by many other vendors at aboutads.info. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the directory will continue to work normally.

When you leave our site

Clicking a download button takes you to a third-party publisher's website. Once there, that site's own privacy policy governs your data — not ours. We have no visibility into, or control over, what a publisher collects. We'd encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you download software from.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data held about you, or to object to its processing. Since we don't operate accounts and don't hold personal profiles, we typically hold nothing to return — but you're welcome to contact us with any request.

Changes

If this policy changes we'll update the date at the top of this page.
