CuteMods is an information catalog: pages describing Android applications and the download links that point to them. You can read every page, search the catalog and download a file without creating an account and without giving us your name or email address. We set no tracking cookies, we run no analytics platform and we show no advertising. That is the whole summary — the sections below cover the details, in the same order as the contents list.
1. What Information We Collect
There are three buckets: information you send us on purpose, information your browser hands to any website anyway, and information your browser keeps for us locally.
- Information you provide. The name, email address and message you put in an email you send us. This site has no form and no server that receives one, so what you tell us travels inside your own mail client until we read it.
- Information a page load carries. Standard request data — IP address, browser and operating system, the page that referred you, the URL you asked for and a timestamp. Our host writes this to ordinary access logs. We do not build a visitor profile from it and we do not buy data about you from anyone.
- Information stored on your device. One entry in your browser's
localStorage: the light or dark theme you picked. Section 3 explains it.
We do not collect payment card details, government identifiers, precise geolocation, contacts, photos, or a list of the apps installed on your device. This site has no signup, no comments and no user profiles, so there is no account database to collect them into.
2. How We Use Collected Information
| What | Why we use it | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Your name and email | To reply to a message you sent, and to follow up on a broken link or a report. | Only if you write to us |
| Your message and its topic | To answer the question, fix the link, or route a copyright complaint to the right place. | Only if you write to us |
| Request data in server logs | To deliver the pages, keep the site up, and spot abuse such as a flood of failing requests. | Yes, for any website visit |
| Your theme choice | So the site opens in the same colours next time you visit. | No, purely cosmetic |
| Copyright complaint documents | To verify a claim, act on it, and keep a record of the decision, as described in the DMCA policy. | Only for complainants |
We do not sell your personal information, we do not rent it, and we do not feed it to advertising or profiling systems. There is no "do not sell my data" opt-out to offer because there is no sale to opt out of.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
CuteMods sets no HTTP cookies. Nothing on these pages writes a cookie, a pixel, a fingerprinting script, a local shared object or any third-party tracking identifier. That is also why there is no cookie consent banner: there is nothing non-essential to consent to. If we ever add a service that requires consent, this page is updated before the service goes live.
The one technology that does touch your device is web storage:
| Storage | What holds | How long | Turn it off |
|---|---|---|---|
localStorage key cmTheme |
Either light or dark — the theme switch in the navbar. |
Until you clear site data or switch the theme. | Clear site data in your browser settings; the site then defaults to light. |
Browsers can also restore a page from their own back/forward cache and keep the URLs you visited in your history. Those belong to your browser, not to us, and are not something we control or read.
4. Analytics Services
We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Fathom, Matomo or any other analytics, heat-map, session-recording or A/B-testing service. No visitor counts are measured with a tracking script, so no analytics cookie or identifier is placed on your device by us.
The counters you can see on the home page and on the app cards (download totals, ratings) are catalog figures stored in our database and shown as text. They are not measurements taken from your visit, and your page view does not increase them.
5. Third-Party Advertising
This site carries no advertising. We are not part of an ad network, we show no display, video, native or retargeted adverts, and we take no part in affiliate-link tracking networks that place cookies to attribute a sale to us.
Two things are worth knowing anyway. First, a download link can leave this site and land on a page we do not control; that destination may set its own cookies under its own policy. Second, an app you install from anywhere may contain its own advertising SDK — that belongs to the app, not to us, and its developer's privacy policy is the one that governs it.
6. Third-Party Services This Site Actually Uses
These are the only outside services a page load talks to. Nothing else is embedded: no video player, no social widget, no chat bubble, no map, no payment frame. The typefaces the layout is drawn with are served by this site from its own storage, so loading a page sends no request to a font provider and shares nothing with one.
| Service | What it does here | What it can see |
|---|---|---|
| Appwrite Cloud catalog database and media storage, Singapore region |
Serves the app and game records the cards and detail pages are built from, and the images they display. | The public data requests your browser makes, with your IP address and standard headers. Only rows marked public are ever read. |
| Appwrite Sites static hosting and delivery |
Stores and delivers the HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images of this site. | Every page request, with the usual access-log fields. The provider's retention of those logs is set by them, not by us. |
Our administrative panel is a separate area behind its own login, used only by us to maintain the catalog. It is not part of your visit and it collects nothing from these pages.
7. External Links and Third-Party Downloads
Almost everything described here belongs to somebody else. Application pages link to stores, developer sites and file hosts, and the files themselves are built and published by third parties. Once you leave cutemods.com, this policy stops applying and the policy of the site you landed on takes over.
- We list links and describe files; we do not operate the servers they are served from.
- We cannot audit what a destination does with your device or your data after the hand-off.
- Signing in to a service inside a modified app sends your credentials to that service, not to us — and may put your account at risk under its terms.
- Read the privacy policy of any app you install. The permission screen at install time is worth more than any promise on a download page.
8. Data Storage and Security
There is no visitor database to defend, which is the strongest security measure a site like this can have. What we do hold is kept small on purpose:
- Emails and messages sit in the mailbox they were sent to, protected by that provider's account security. We keep only what a conversation needs.
- Copyright complaints and their documents are kept to evidence the decision we took, and are not published.
- Catalog data — app names, versions, sizes, descriptions and images — contains no personal information at all.
- Access to the administration of the catalog is limited to our own team accounts.
No method of transmission or storage is secure, and we will not claim otherwise. What we can promise is proportionate care: the least personal data that works, access limited to the people who need it, and no request for passwords, payment details or identity documents — we will never ask you for those. If a personal data ever did end up in our hands, it stays in our mailbox.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Privacy laws differ by country and state, but most grant a similar set of rights: to be informed, to access what is held about you, to have something wrong corrected, to ask for erasure, to object to or restrict certain processing, to receive your data in a portable form, and to complain to a supervisory authority. Where those rights apply to you, they apply here too — with the practical caveat that we hold almost nothing.
- Email cutemodsupport@gmail.com, or start from the contact page.
- Say which right you are exercising and, if you emailed us, from which address you wrote — that is how we know the request is yours.
- We reply with what we hold (usually the text of your own message), or with the reason we cannot meet the request. We do not charge for this.
Because the site runs without tracking cookies and without analytics, there is no consent to withdraw and no profile to hand over. Clearing your browser's site data removes the theme preference; the rest is already not stored.
10. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, and it offers no way to submit information other than an email — which comes from an address an adult would control.
Catalog entries include games. A rating on a page describes the game, not this website, and downloading modified software is not something a child should do without a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, write to the address in section 12 and we will remove it.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this page — for example when a service in section 6 changes, or when we add something that needs explaining. The date at the top of the page is the date of the last revision, and the current text is always the one at this address.
- Material changes are written here in plain language, not buried in the body text.
- We do not email you about policy changes; we have no email address for you unless you sent us one.
- Continuing to use the site after a change means the updated policy applies to your next visit.
12. Contact Information for Privacy Questions
For anything on this page — a question, a request under section 9, or a correction — write to cutemodsupport@gmail.com, or start from the contact page. Copyright matters, including takedown requests, are handled on the DMCA page so they arrive with the documents needed to act on them.
