Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Astrum Ventures LLC (“we”, “us”, “Steve The App Guy”) handles information you provide through this website. By using the site or submitting any form on it, you agree to the practices described below.

Information you give us

We only receive personal information when you choose to submit it through one of our forms or contact us directly.

• Apply form: your name, email, social handle, primary platform, follower range, niche, and a short description of your audience.
• Referral form: your name, email, your Venmo or PayPal handle, your reward preference, plus the name, social handle, platform, and follower range of the person you are referring, and any notes you choose to add. By submitting a referral, you confirm you have a reasonable basis to believe the referred person is open to being introduced to us.
• Direct contact: anything you send us via WhatsApp, email, or social DM.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our hosting and analytics tools collect basic technical information — IP address, approximate location, device type, browser, referring URL, and which pages you view. This data is used in aggregate to understand traffic patterns, not to identify you personally.

Tools and service providers we use

• Vercel — hosts the site and provides traffic analytics (page views, referrers, basic device data).
• Google Analytics — provides aggregate visitor analytics. Google may set cookies and use similar technologies as described in their own privacy policy.
• Resend — delivers form submissions from this site to our inbox. Form contents pass through Resend in transit.

These providers process information on our behalf under their own terms. We do not sell your information to anyone.

External links

The site links out to WhatsApp, Instagram, and other third-party platforms. Once you leave this site, you are subject to those platforms’ own privacy practices, which we do not control.

How we use the information

• To respond to applications, referrals, and enquiries.
• To evaluate fit before starting a partnership.
• To pay out referral rewards if a referral leads to a deal.
• To improve the site, our messaging, and our offering.
• To comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies, mostly set by Vercel and Google Analytics, to measure traffic and keep the site running. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time; the site will still work.

Retention

We keep submitted information for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected (e.g. to respond, to track a referral, or for tax and accounting if a deal is struck). After that we delete or anonymise it.

Security

We use reputable hosting and email providers and apply reasonable technical measures to protect submitted information. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International transfers

Astrum Ventures LLC is a US entity and our service providers operate globally. By submitting information through this site, you understand that it may be processed in the United States or other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you believe a minor has submitted information through the site, please contact us so we can remove it.

Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information you have submitted. Email steve@stevetheappguy.com and we will action requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
