Additional App Store Terms
1. Discoverability on the App Store
The discoverability of Your Licensed Application in the App Store depends on several factors, and Apple is under no obligation to display, feature or rank Your Licensed Application in any particular manner or order in the App Store.
(a)
The main parameters used for app ranking and discoverability are text relevance, such as using an accurate title, adding relevant keywords/metadata and selecting descriptive categories in the Licensed Application; customer behaviour relating to the number and quality of ratings and reviews and application downloads; date of launch in the App Store may also be considered for relevant searches; and whether You have violated any rules promulgated by Apple. These main parameters deliver the most relevant results to customer search queries.
(b)
When considering apps to feature in the App Store, our editors look for high-quality apps across all categories, with a particular focus on new apps and apps with significant updates. The main parameters that our editors consider are UI design, user experience, innovation and uniqueness, localisations, accessibility, App Store product page screenshots, app previews and descriptions; and additionally for games, gameplay, graphics and performance, audio, narrative and story depth, ability to replay and gameplay controls. These main parameters showcase high-quality, well-designed and innovative apps.
(c)
If You use an Apple service for paid promotion of Your app on the App Store, Your app may be presented in a promotional placement and designated as advertising content.
To learn more about app discoverability, visit https://developer.apple.com/app-store/discoverability/.
2. Access to App Store Data
You can access data concerning your Licensed Application's financial performance and user engagement in App Store Connect by using App Analytics, Sales and Trends, and Payments and Financial Reports. Specifically, You can obtain all of Your Licensed Application's financial results for individual app sales and in-app purchases (including subscriptions) in Sales and Trends, or download the data from Financial Reports; and You can view App Analytics for non-personally identifiable data that allows You to understand how consumers engage with Your Licensed Applications. More information can be found at https://developer.apple.com/app-store/measuring-app-performance/. App Analytics data is only provided with the consent of our customers. For more information, see https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/analytics/. Apple does not provide You with access to personal or other data provided by or generated through use of the App Store by other developers; nor does Apple provide other developers with access to personal or other data provided by or generated through Your use of the App Store. Such data sharing would conflict with Apple's Privacy Policy, and with our customers' expectations about how Apple treats their data. You can seek to collect information from customers directly, as long as such information is collected in a lawful manner, and You follow the App Review Guidelines.
Apple handles personal and non-personal information as outlined in Apple's Privacy Policy. Information about Apple's access to and practices concerning developer and customer data can be found in "App Store & Privacy", accessible at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/app-store. Apple may provide some non-personal information to strategic partners that work with Apple to provide our products and services, help Apple market to customers, and sell ads on Apple's behalf to display in the App Store, Apple News and Stocks. Such partners are obligated to protect that information and may be located wherever Apple operates.
