Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

ASOblick is built so that there is almost nothing to write a privacy policy about. The short version: the app collects no personal data, requires no account, and keeps everything on your Mac, unless you connect an assistant, and then the assistant reads what you allow. The only personal data we ever hold is an email address you choose to give us on this website.

What the app stores

Your tracked apps, keywords, rank history, milestones, keyword research results, sales and advertising reports, saved reviews, screenshot projects with any frame images you import, the top 10 apps of each of your searches, competitors' reviews, the clients you file apps under, the agency name, footer line and logo you set for client reports, for a shared client an activity list with the names of the people in it and what each of them changed, the apps you audit as prospects, the list of client reports and audits you saved, the agency colour you choose, the translations of reviews macOS made for you, the names of the assistant programs that read ASOblick and the code they use, and settings are stored locally on your Mac, inside the app's own container. So is everything you write in the app: log entries and their notes, metadata drafts in every language and the publish records you save, replies you sent to reviews, and saved idea lookups. None of it is transmitted to us. We have no servers and no copy of your data.

Files you export

These features write files, and all of them write only where you choose: screenshot exports, a rank history CSV, a review export, a client report, a prospect audit and a workspace file. Screenshot exports are the images you made in the studio. The rank history CSV holds one row per check: the date, the keyword, the country and the rank. A review export holds the reviews on screen, with the search and filters applied, as a CSV or plain text file. A client report is a PDF holding the ranks, changes, reviews and sales figures of the app or client you picked, with the agency name, footer line, logo and colour you set, if any. A prospect audit is a PDF holding the ranks, competitors and review words of an app you audited, with the same letterhead. A workspace file holds your tracked apps, their keywords, the rank history, your clients, your Log entries, your Workshop drafts, your prospects and the list of reports you saved, for everything or for one client, so a colleague can import it on their own Mac. It never holds your API keys, sales reports, Apple Ads figures, reviews or milestones. Handing any of these files to someone is you giving them that data; the app does not send these files anywhere.

Sharing a client

On the Agency plan you can share a client with people you invite, so the same apps, keywords, rank history, top 10 history, rating and category readings, Log entries, Workshop drafts and publishes, prospects and the list of reports saved are live on their Mac too, along with an activity list that names who added, removed or changed what, and when. A shared client holds what a workspace file holds, kept up to date. It never holds your API keys, sales reports, Apple Ads figures, reviews or milestones; sales stay on the Mac whose key fetched them. It does hold the replies you sent to reviews, each naming the reviewer's nickname and stars, because a reply is a Log entry. A share lives in your own iCloud account, in Apple's CloudKit, and it is readable only by the people you invited: a link is for the one Apple Account it was sent to, and there is no public link. Nothing is sent to ASOblick. We have no server, we see none of it, and we cannot read a share. Invitations go out through your Mac's own share sheet, so you choose the channel. You can remove a person or stop sharing at any time in Manage Sharing, and their copy is removed from their Mac; yours is untouched.

What the app sends over the network

• Rank checks query Apple's public iTunes Search API (itunes.apple.com), the same public endpoints anyone can use in a browser. These requests contain the keyword being checked, a country code, and an app's public App Store ID.
• Keyword research queries Apple's public search-suggestions endpoint with the terms being explored.
• Chart positions and reviews come from Apple's public chart and review feeds, requested by public App Store ID.
• Every night, the rating counts of your apps and of the competitors you track are read with Apple's public lookup, in every country of the App Store, by public App Store ID.
• App icons shown in the interface are downloaded from Apple's public image servers.
• On Agency, a shared client is sent to and read from your own iCloud (Apple's CloudKit) and the iCloud of the people you invited. It goes to Apple, never to us.
• When you turn on the Read in switch on the Reviews page (it is named after your Mac's language, Read in English for example), macOS translates the reviews on your Mac. A language macOS has not downloaded yet is downloaded from Apple by macOS, and macOS asks you first.

All of these requests go directly from your Mac to Apple and contain no personal identifiers. Nothing passes through any server of ours.

Optional connections you can add

Three connections use keys you create yourself in your own Apple accounts. All three are optional, and everything else in the app works without them.

• The Revenue module can use an App Store Connect API key you create in your own Apple account. The key is stored in your Mac's Keychain, Apple's built-in secure storage, and is only ever sent from your Mac directly to Apple's App Store Connect API to fetch your own sales reports. The reports are stored locally like everything else.
• Replies to reviews use an App Store Connect API key with Account Holder, Admin or Customer Support access: the Revenue key when it has Admin access, or a second key you connect under Replies to Reviews. When you click Send Reply, the reply you wrote goes from your Mac directly to Apple, which publishes it under the review on the App Store. The same key reads Apple's list of your app's reviews, so replies you wrote in App Store Connect show in ASOblick too.
• The Apple Ads connection can use an Apple Ads API key the same way, to fetch your own advertising reports directly from Apple.

We never see, receive, or transmit these keys or the data they fetch. You can remove a key at any time in ASOblick's Settings, which deletes it from your Keychain.

Assistants on this Mac

On Pro, Max and Agency you can let an assistant program on your Mac, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, the ChatGPT desktop app, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Zed or LM Studio, read your ASOblick data. It is off until you turn it on in Settings, under Connections, Assistants on this Mac.

• Anything an assistant reads in ASOblick is sent to that assistant's provider, Anthropic or OpenAI for example, to be processed. What the provider does with it is set by that provider's own privacy policy. A model running on your Mac, in LM Studio for example, keeps it on your Mac.
• ASOblick itself sends nothing to any provider. The assistant program on your Mac reads from ASOblick through a connection on this Mac, and that program sends what it read to its provider.
• You choose what an assistant may read, with one switch each for searches and ranks, competitors, reviews, the Log, and sales. Sales is off until you turn it on.
• The connection is read-only. An assistant cannot change, delete, publish, reply or export anything, never sees your App Store Connect or Apple Ads keys, and cannot ask Apple for anything.
• Assistants in a web browser or on a phone cannot reach your Mac. A program on your Mac needs the code from your setup, and ASOblick answers only while it is open.

Turn Off, in the same place, stops every assistant reading ASOblick. New Code stops every assistant set up with the old code.

Purchases

Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the Mac App Store. We never see your payment details. Apple provides us no personally identifying information about buyers.

This website

The launch-notify form on this site collects one thing: the email address you type. It is stored with Resend, the email delivery service we use, on a list that exists solely to email you about ASOblick's launch and availability. We never sell or share it, every email we send lets you unsubscribe, and if you want the address deleted entirely, ask and we will remove it. This website uses Plausible Analytics to count visits. Plausible sets no cookies and collects no personal data: it does not identify you, does not follow you to other sites, and keeps only aggregate counts such as page views and referring sites. The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which handles the connection and sees the same technical details any web host does, such as your IP address; we have not turned on its analytics.

When someone subscribes, renews, upgrades or is refunded, Apple tells us so, with the plan, the price and the App Store country. We keep that as a private notice for ourselves, never with a name or an email.

Analytics and tracking

The app contains no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party code. Its notifications are shown by macOS on your Mac and are not sent through any server.

Your data, your machine

Deleting the app does not delete its data. Everything ASOblick saves goes into one folder macOS gives it, in your home folder at Library/Containers/com.asoblick.asoblick, with the database file itself at Data/Library/Application Support/default.store inside that folder. ASOblick never deletes it, and dragging the app to the Trash does not either: on macOS, removing an app leaves its container behind. That is how the Mac treats every sandboxed app, not something ASOblick adds. If you want the data gone, delete that folder yourself.

ASOblick also keeps two small things in a second folder, Library/Group Containers/T96T959ACD.com.asoblick.assistants: a status file that says whether assistants are on, off or need a plan, and the connection point an assistant program uses to reach ASOblick. Neither holds your data.

If you added an API key, remove it in ASOblick's Settings before you delete the app. Keys live in your Mac's Keychain, which outlives both the app and its container, so a key you never removed stays there until you delete it, either in Settings or in the Keychain Access app that comes with your Mac (the items are listed under com.asoblick.connections). Beyond the email list above, there is nothing to request a copy of and nothing for us to erase, because we never had it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated date.
