What information does Appsfire collect?

Once you activate an Appsfire profile on your desktop or mobile device, we create a personal, private account. Appsfire collects some information from your account in order to provide you and other users with recommendations and promotional services. Account information includes a list of your applications, an encrypted unique identifier for your iPhone (a one-way encryption of the UDID - which essentially protects your identity), information on how your apps are used and displayed, and collections of apps you are willing to share.

Appsfire may use the information mentioned above in order to improve its service. For example, we may aggregate this data in an anonymous way to analyze how many users are sharing apps in a particular category.

This information is stored safely and securely.
