ASO.dev: Security & Privacy Explained

ASO.dev places great importance on data security and user privacy. We designed the platform with maximum transparency and information protection in mind. This section answers frequently asked questions about our data handling policies and practices.

1. How Are Requests to App Store Connect Handled?

All requests to App Store Connect are made exclusively from the user’s device. We do not redirect requests through our servers, ensuring an additional level of security and user control over actions.

2. How Is App Data Processed?

App data, such as metadata and keyword rankings, is collected solely from publicly available sources and processed on our servers.

We do not use user devices for data scraping and strictly adhere to ethical standards.

3. What Is the Purpose of the API Key?

The API key in ASO.dev is exclusively used for actions requiring access to your App Store Connect account, such as:

Editing app data (e.g., metadata, keywords, and descriptions).
Submitting apps for review.
Responding to user reviews.
Uploading screenshots and other media files.
Managing subscriptions and pricing.

4. Why Is API Key Synchronization Used?

API key synchronization is strictly used for:

Team collaboration.
Data synchronization across multiple devices.

5. How Is the API Key Stored?

The API key is stored in** Secure Storage** on the user’s device, ensuring maximum security.

If you need to use this data on another device, you must re-enter it or allow synchronization of the encrypted key with the ASO.dev server.

When sent to the server for collaboration or synchronization across devices, we ensure maximum encryption levels:

Each API key is encrypted using a unique user-specific code.
You can configure an additional encryption key for enhanced protection. This key is known only to you and is not stored on our servers, making recovery impossible in case of loss.
To decrypt the key on another device, you must enter the correct user encryption key.

ASO.dev securely stores app-specific passwords and credentials (e.g., for App Store Connect, OpenAI (Chat GPT), Anthropic (Claude), DeepL, DeepSeek, etc.) in Secure Storage on the user’s device.

These credentials are not transmitted to our servers or synchronized between devices.

All service-related requests are performed directly from the user’s device.

7. Can I use ASO.dev without API Key and any other credentials?

Yes, you can use ASO.dev without API Key and any other credentials. In this case, you will not be able to perform actions that require access to your App Store Connect account, but still, you can use the platform for keyword research, competitor analysis, and other tasks related to Market Research.

8. Are Data Shared with Third Parties?

ASO.dev is an independent platform with no affiliations to other companies.

We do not share your app data or projects with third parties.
We do not use your data for analytics, reports, or any purposes beyond your specific tasks.

Your data is solely yours, and ensuring its security is our top priority.

9. Does ASO.dev Store Financial Data?
