To go live your app will get reviewed by us and published like on the Apple App store
{% endhint %}

From the start, please think about storing any piece of private data only once with random UUID references which you can store normally in your existing database.

Lastly, we [review all apps](/deploy/application-review.md) before they go live to ensure the app is compliant with global data regulations. We partner with you to get quality code out the door. If you need one of our data privacy experts to help guide you – reach us on [contact@dataswyft.com](mailto:contact@dataswift.io).
