Storetide looks up App Store keywords for you. When you search, the keyword and the store you picked are sent to our server, which asks Apple's public App Store endpoints and sends the answer back. We don't save your searches and we don't ask you to sign up.
We receive payment data only when you buy a subscription, and then only what's needed to take the payment and give you access.
Searches: the keyword and the store are processed to answer your request. They are not stored by us. Results may be held in the server's memory for up to a few hours so repeat searches are quick, without any link to you.
Payments: when you pay, Stripe collects your name, email address, card details, billing country and, if you enter one, your VAT ID. We receive the email address, the country, the VAT ID and a Stripe customer reference. We never receive your card number.
Access keys: after a payment we create a signed access key that holds your plan, its expiry, your email address and your Stripe customer and subscription references. It's stored in your browser's local storage and sent to our server when you open the Pro lists.
Server logs and rate limiting: our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps short-lived technical logs of requests, including IP addresses. We use your IP address in memory to limit how many searches can be made per minute.
Visit statistics: we count visits with Vercel Web Analytics. It records which page was viewed, the site you came from, your country, and your browser, operating system and device type. It uses no cookies and does not build a profile of you or follow you from site to site.
The tool uses your browser's local storage for your access key and the number of free searches you've used this week. This data stays on your device. Clearing your browser data removes it, which also resets the free searches.
We don't use cookies, advertising or cross-site tracking.
To answer your searches, process payments, issue receipts and VAT invoices, give you access to Pro, handle refunds and support requests, keep the service from being abused, and meet our legal and accounting obligations.
Apple receives the keyword and store of each search, from our server's address, through its Apple Ads and App Store endpoints. Apple's own privacy policy applies to that part.
Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates process payments as our payment provider and, for card data, as an independent controller. See stripe.com/privacy.
Vercel Inc. hosts the website and provides its visit statistics.
We don't sell personal data and we don't share it with advertisers.
Payment and invoice records are kept as long as accounting law requires. Server logs are kept for a short period. Access keys stored in your browser stay until they expire or you clear them.
Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to processing, or ask for a copy. Write to support@nordicsoftware.net. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Apple, Stripe and Vercel may process data outside your country, including in the United States. They use safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses where the law requires them.
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top. Questions: support@nordicsoftware.net.
