Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 16, 2026

Last Updated: May 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Breakthrough App Lab LLC, doing business as Breakthrough App Lab ("we," "us," "our"), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit breakthroughapplab.com, download our resources, sign up for our newsletter, or otherwise interact with us. We've written this in plain language because we believe you deserve to understand it.

1. Who We Are

Breakthrough App Lab LLC is an Ohio limited liability company, doing business as Breakthrough App Lab. We focus on helping aspiring builders bring their app ideas to life through educational content, guides, and tools.

You can reach us at:

If you have questions about this policy or about your personal data, the email above is the fastest way to reach us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information we need to provide what you've asked for and to run a working website.

Information you give us directly

  • Your name and email address when you sign up for our newsletter, request a free downloadable resource, or contact us through a form on our site.

  • Anything you choose to include in a message or email you send us.

Information collected automatically when you visit our site

  • Standard analytics data — your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on the site, and the website that referred you. This is collected by our website host (Squarespace) and any analytics tools we use to understand how the site is performing.

  • Cookies and similar technologies — small files placed on your device. See "Cookies and Tracking" below for details.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data (such as health, biometric, financial, religious, or precise location data), and we do not collect payment information through this website.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Deliver the free resources you've requested.

  • Send you our newsletter and related updates — only if you've signed up to receive them.

  • Respond to your questions and provide customer support.

  • Understand which content and topics are most useful, so we can improve.

  • Protect the website against fraud, abuse, and security threats.

  • Comply with our legal obligations.

We will never sell your personal information.

4. How We Share Your Information

We share limited information with the trusted service providers who help us run this website. These providers are bound by their own privacy obligations and only access what they need to do their job:

  • Squarespace — hosts our website, stores newsletter signups, and (where applicable) processes email campaigns on our behalf.

  • Namecheap Private Email — handles delivery and storage of email sent to and from our business address.

  • Analytics tools — measure website traffic and performance.

We may also disclose information if we are required to do so by law, to respond to lawful government requests, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our users, ourselves, or others.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to remember your preferences, keep certain features working correctly, and help us understand how the site is being used.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work as intended without them. We honor "Do Not Track" signals where required by applicable law.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have rights regarding your personal information, regardless of where you live.

Everyone can:

  • Unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link at the bottom of any email we send.

  • Request access to the information we hold about you.

  • Request correction of any inaccurate information.

  • Request deletion of your information (subject to limited legal obligations we may have to retain certain records).

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR): You have additional rights, including the right to data portability, the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Our lawful basis for processing your information is your consent (which you can withdraw at any time) or our legitimate interest in operating our business and communicating with people who have asked to hear from us.

If you are a California resident (CCPA / CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information — though we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

To make any request, email us at Hello@BreakthroughAppLab.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law (typically 30 to 45 days).

7. Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as we need it to provide the service you requested or as required by law. If you unsubscribe and have no remaining relationship with us, we'll remove your information from active marketing systems within a reasonable period — though some records may be retained for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and our service providers (such as Squarespace) maintain industry-standard security practices. That said, no method of transmission or storage on the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

This website is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at Hello@BreakthroughAppLab.com and we will delete it promptly.

10. Links to Other Websites

Our website and downloadable resources may contain links to third-party websites and tools we don't own or operate. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit through a link from ours.

11. International Visitors

We are based in the United States. If you are visiting our website from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using our website, you consent to this transfer.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or the law. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll provide more prominent notice — by a banner on the website or, where appropriate, by email. Continuing to use our website after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
