Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Zideons LLC collects, uses, and shares information when you visit zideons.com, use the admin portal, or contact us.

Last updated: March 11, 2026

Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, including support emails you send us and admin account details (email address and authentication provider).

For new user account creation, we collect email and password credentials when you sign up with email/password, or account identity details from Google when you use Google sign-in.

Admin users can add site content such as app listings, descriptions, links, and screenshot uploads. If you configure single sign-on (SSO) for connected apps, we store SSO app settings (name, redirect URIs) and short-lived SSO codes.

Cookies, storage, and retention

We use an HTTP-only session cookie (firebase_session) to keep signed-in users authenticated. We also use sessionStorage to store a session identifier and localStorage to cache AI news cards in your browser.

For security, authenticated sessions may expire after periods of inactivity.

If we add advertisements later, we may use advertising or measurement cookies only with your consent. You can manage these choices through the cookie banner.

Admin uploads are stored on our servers. SSO codes expire after about 5 minutes. Session cookies default to 14 days unless configured otherwise.

How we use information

We use your information to respond to inquiries, authenticate users, operate account and admin features, and publish site content.

For new user signups, we use your email to create your account, send verification emails, and enforce verified-email sign-in for email/password accounts.

The site fetches RSS feeds and may use Google Gemini to curate AI news and draft summaries when configured. If enabled, we may send app titles, descriptions, or public URLs to Gemini for summarization.

If you use profile self-service features, we process requests such as profile name updates, password-reset emails, email-change verification, and account deletion to maintain account functionality and security.

Sharing and service providers

We rely on service providers to operate the site, including Firebase Authentication, Google Cloud Firestore, and Google Gemini (if enabled).

Your choices

You can choose whether to contact us by email. Disabling cookies may prevent sign-in and account features from working properly.

New users can create an account with email/password or Google. If you sign up with email/password, you must verify your email before you can sign in.
