1. Introduction
At IPA Encryption Checker, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website located at https://ipachecker.com/ (the "Service").
We use your data solely to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
When you use our Service, we collect information from the IPA files you voluntarily upload for analysis. We also collect your IP address when you upload files, solely for the purposes of rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security. This information is not used for tracking or analytics and is not retained longer than necessary for these purposes.
3. Uploaded Files
Our primary function is to analyze IPA files that you upload to our Service. When you upload an IPA file:
- The file is temporarily stored on cloudflare servers for analysis purposes only
- We extract metadata from the file (such as app name, bundle identifier, version, etc.)
- We analyze the file's encryption status
- We generate an MD5 hash of the file
- All files are automatically deleted after analysis is complete or within 24 hours, whichever comes first
4. Usage Data
We do not collect any usage data or technical information when you visit our website, except for the IP address used during file uploads. The IP address is used exclusively for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security, and is not used for tracking, analytics, or profiling. We do not track:
- Browser information
- Pages visited
- Visit timestamps
- Session duration
Our focus is solely on providing the IPA analysis service without collecting any information about your browsing behavior or identity, except as required for security and abuse prevention.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We do not use cookies or similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service.
6. Use of Data
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our Service
- To analyze IPA files that you upload
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
- To monitor the usage of our Service
- To improve the functionality and user experience of our Service
- To prevent abuse and ensure fair use of the Service (using IP-based rate limiting)
7. Data Retention
We retain your uploaded files only for the time necessary to perform the requested analysis, and in no case longer than 24 hours. After this period, all uploaded files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers.
IP addresses collected for rate limiting and security are retained only as long as necessary to enforce these protections and are automatically deleted thereafter. Since we do not collect any other usage data, there is no additional information retained beyond the temporary storage of your uploaded IPA files and IP address for security purposes.
8. Data Transfer
Your information, including uploaded IPA files, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.
9. Security
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Our specific security measures include:
- Secure file transfer protocols for uploaded files
- Automatic deletion of uploaded files after analysis
- Limited access to servers processing your data
- Regular security monitoring
10. Service Providers
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), provide the Service on our behalf, or perform Service-related services.
These third parties may have access to your uploaded files only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Our service providers include:
- GitHub Pages for web hosting
- Cloudflare R2 for temporary file storage
11. Analytics
We do not use any analytics tools or third-party tracking services. We do not monitor or analyze how users interact with our Service, maintaining complete privacy for all visitors.
