These terms cover your use of appsbycharlie.com and the pages under it. Using
the site means accepting them. If you do not accept them, the remedy is simple and complete:
stop using the site.
They do not cover the apps themselves. Each app is licensed to you separately, under its own
terms and under Apple’s standard licence, and where an app’s terms and these
disagree about that app, its terms win.
What this site is
Apps by Charlie is the publishing name of Charlie Bieger, an independent developer. This site
describes the apps and links to the App Store. It sells nothing, hosts no downloads, and takes
no payment.
Eagle One is released. Savory and Wishlist
are in development. Anything said here about an unreleased app describes an intention, not a
commitment: features may change and either may never ship. Nothing on this site is an offer,
a contract, or a promise of a release date.
Using the site
You may read these pages, link to them, and quote them with attribution. You agree not to
misuse the site: no attempting to break it or to gain access to anything not offered to you, no
scraping it in a way that degrades it for others, and no using it to do something unlawful.
Accuracy
The descriptions here are written carefully and can still be wrong or out of date. Screenshots
show a version that may no longer be current, and a feature described here may have changed in
the shipping app. Where this site and the app disagree, the app is what you actually have.
Links to other places
Links leave for the App Store and for other sites we do not control. What happens once you
arrive is between you and whoever runs the place you arrived at, under their terms and their
privacy policy. A link is not an endorsement and is certainly not a warranty.
What belongs to whom
The text, layout, photography, icons and code of this site belong to Charlie Bieger. The app
names and marks belong to him too. Apple, the Apple logo and App Store are trademarks of Apple
Inc., used here to refer to Apple’s store, and nothing on this site is endorsed by or
affiliated with Apple.
You may quote and link. You may not pass this work off as your own, or use the names or marks
in a way that suggests a connection that does not exist.
Availability
This is one person’s site. It may be offline, moved, rewritten or withdrawn at any time,
without notice and without anything being owed to you for it. Pages may disappear; old links may
stop working.
No warranty
The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any
implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. It is
not promised to be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of anything harmful.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Charlie Bieger is not liable for any indirect,
incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profit or
goodwill, arising out of your use of this site — and this is a free informational site,
so no theory of liability should get far in any case.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow
the exclusion of certain warranties or liabilities, and in those places these limits apply only
as far as they are permitted.
Changes to these terms
These terms may change. The date below changes with them, and continuing to use the site after
that is acceptance of the new version. Previous wording is in the site’s repository history.
This site uses Google Analytics to count visits: how many people arrive,
which pages they read, roughly where they are, and what kind of device they use. It is
the only analytics on the site. There is no advertising, no advertising pixels, and no
cross-site tracking, and Google Analytics’ advertising features are switched off.
Where you are decides how it asks.In the UK, the EU, the
EEA and Switzerland a notice appears on a first visit, and until you choose
Accept no Google code is downloaded, no request reaches Google, and nothing is
written to your browser. Everywhere else analytics runs from the first
page view, disclosed here rather than behind a pop-up, and turned off in one click
below. Either way, if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track
signal it is treated as a refusal, you are never asked, and the signal is re-read on
every visit — so turning it on later stops analytics even if you accepted
before.
If you accept, Google receives your IP address, the pages you view here, and general
device and browser information, and sets identifiers that recognise a returning
browser. It acts as a service provider; its practices are at
policies.google.com/privacy.
Your answer is stored in your browser’s local storage as ga-consent.

Clearing this site’s data does the same.
This section covers the website only. What each app does on your device is the
subject of the sections below, and of each app’s own policy.
Who this covers
Apps by Charlie is the publishing name of Charlie Bieger, an independent developer. This
policy covers appsbycharlie.com and the pages under it. Each app has its own
policy covering what that app does on your device, because the answer is different for each
one and a single policy would have to be vague to cover them all. Eagle One’s is at
Eagle One privacy.
What this site collects
Analytics, as described above, and one other thing: poster scans.
Eagle One was advertised on printed posters around campus, each carrying a QR code
pointing at a short link on this site. Opening one records that a scan happened, so that the
sheet by the shuttle stop can be compared against the one in the dining hall. What is written
is a random identifier and the number one. There is no IP address, no device information, no
cookie and nothing that could be traced back to you, and the record deletes itself after a
year. Two people scanning the same poster produce two records that cannot be told apart, and
the same person scanning twice produces two records that cannot be connected.
The link then sends you to the App Store carrying a campaign label naming the poster.
Apple reports to us how many people arrived from each label and how many installed. Those are
counts. Apple does not tell us who you are, and we do not ask.
What this site does not do
There is no account, no login and no password. There is no shop, no cart and no checkout.
There is no newsletter and no mailing list, and no form anywhere on the site — the
contact page is a plain email address, so writing to us is entirely your choice and tells us
only what you put in the message. There is no advertising, no advertising pixels, no
advertising identifiers and no cross-site tracking. Nothing here is sold, rented or shared
with a data broker, because none of it exists to sell.
The apps
Eagle One is the only app released so far. It has no login and no account;
your information stays on your device and in your own private iCloud database, which we cannot
read. Its policy explains the detail, including which network requests it makes and what each
one discloses.
Savory and Wishlist are in development and have not been
released. They collect nothing, because there is nothing yet to collect. When either ships it
will arrive with its own policy, and this page will link to it.
Children
This site is not directed at children and asks no one their age, because it asks nothing at
all. Age requirements for an individual app are set by its own terms and by its App Store age
rating.
How long anything is kept
Poster scan records delete themselves one year after the scan. Analytics data is retained by
Google under the retention period set on the property; you can end your own participation at
any time with the control above. An email you send is kept for as long as the conversation is
useful and then deleted. Nothing else is stored.
Your choices
Analytics can be turned off above, or refused permanently by turning on Global Privacy
Control in your browser. There is no account to delete because there is no account. If you have
written to us and want that correspondence deleted, say so and it will be.
Changes to this policy
If this changes in a way that matters, the date below changes with it and the previous
wording is in the site’s public repository history. Small corrections to spelling or
clarity are made without ceremony.
