Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Crafter Console: Trends is local-first for App Store Connect credentials and portfolio data. Besides Apple, it contacts a public exchange-rate service for currency rates, which receives no sales data, and the optional feedback feature can send information you choose to enter to Daniel's support backend.

No tracking or advertising

Trends contains no advertising, behavioral analytics, cross-app tracking, or data-broker integration. App Store Connect credentials and reports are not routed through a Crafter Apps analytics service.

Credentials and App Store Connect data

Credentials: your private key, Key ID, and Issuer ID are stored in Apple's Keychain on your device.
Vendor number: used locally when requesting Apple sales reports.
Portfolio data: tracked-app identity, downloads, revenue, countries, subscriptions, rankings, goals, sync state, and notification history are cached locally in Core Data.
Widgets: selected trend summaries are shared read-only with the widget extension through the app's private App Group container.

Direct connections to Apple

When you validate credentials or refresh data, Trends signs requests on your device and connects directly to Apple's App Store Connect APIs, sales-report service, public lookup service, or ranking feeds over HTTPS. Apple handles those requests under its own terms and privacy policy.

Currency exchange rates

To convert proceeds reported in other currencies, Trends requests the latest US dollar exchange rates from the public exchange-rate service at open.er-api.com when it syncs, at most about once a day, and caches them on your device. The request asks only for US dollar rates; it contains no credentials, vendor number, sales data, or app information. Like any web request, it reaches that service with your IP address and standard request details, which it handles under its own privacy policy. If the service is unavailable, Trends uses approximate rates built into the app.

Optional feedback

If you choose to submit feedback in the app, Trends sends the name, email address, and message you enter to Daniel's feedback backend, which is connected to Notion. That service is separate from the App Store Connect sync pipeline. Feedback is used only for support and product improvement, not advertising or behavioral analytics.

Do not include an App Store Connect private key, credential, JWT, vendor number, or copied sales report in feedback. Trends does not intentionally attach those items to a submission.

Storage, deletion, and sync

Portfolio and trend data remain in local Core Data; there is no CloudKit or account-based sync. You can remove credentials and cached data in the app where controls are provided, or delete the app to remove its local container. Keychain and Apple-managed backup behavior remains subject to Apple's platform rules. Feedback already submitted may be retained as needed to resolve and document the request.

Information not used

Trends does not use location, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, advertising identifiers, third-party AI services, or third-party advertising and tracking SDKs.

Children's privacy

Trends is a professional developer tool and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this app.

Changes and contact

I may update this policy as the app changes. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to developer@crafterapps.com.
