2. What Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of personal data:

- Billing data: Billing name, billing address, and VAT number (if applicable). Credit card details are processed and stored exclusively by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number.

- Content data: App metadata, screenshots, localizations, and other assets you upload or generate through the Service.
- Automatic data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referral URLs, pages visited, session duration, and other standard web-server logs. If you accept analytics cookies, we also collect aggregated usage statistics via Google Analytics 4.
- Communications: Messages you send us via email or the in-app support chat (Crisp).
