Effective Date: 20 September 2014
These App Annie Connect Terms of Service (“Connect Terms”) apply to our “App Annie Connect” product family. The Connect Terms incorporate by reference App Annie’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In the event of a conflict between the Connect Terms and the Terms of Service, the Connect Terms control.
The following defined terms shall apply. All capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Terms of Service.
“App Annie Connect”: any section of our Services (including Distimo App Analytics) where users maintain Source Account Information and/or access Collected Data (both terms as defined below). App Annie Connect includes any Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”) or other programmatic interfaces for interacting with, or obtaining information from, App Annie Connect.
“App Annie App”: mobile applications that provide access to App Annie Connect.
“Collected Data”: data collected by us by either connecting to the Sources on behalf of our users, or accessing uploaded data (for example, manually entered data, uploaded files) provided by our users. Collected Data does not include public data directly available via the Sources. An example of Collected Data is an iTunes Sales Report.
“Source Account Information”: account credentials, such as login and password information, for accessing data from a specific Source (for example, an iTunes Connect user name and password).
“Sources”: online third-party data sites, services and sources, which may include, without limitation, Apple iTunes Connect, Google Play and other app stores, as well as digital distribution, analytics, advertising and monetization platforms. Sources may also include third-party products and services that incorporate SDKs (or similar pieces of functionality) provided by App Annie.
“App Annie Intelligence”: the sections of our Services (including Distimo AppIQ) where subscribers receive estimates of app performance (e.g., downloads, revenues, etc.), including across publishers, industries, geographies and marketplaces.
By using App Annie Connect, you expressly authorize us to access and use your Collected Data maintained by the Sources. We will submit your Source Account Information that you provide to us to access to the Sources. Source Account Information is always stored in accordance with our Data Security Policy.
For purposes of these Connect Terms and to provide Collected Data to you as part of App Annie Connect, you grant us a limited power of attorney, and appoint us as your attorney in-fact and agent, to access Sources, store your Source Account Information and retrieve and use your Collected Data with the full power and authority to do and perform each action necessary in connection with such activities, as you could do in person (including configuring App Annie Connect so that it is compatible with the Sources for which you submit your information). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN WE ARE ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING COLLECTED DATA, WE ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT AS THE AGENT OF OR ON BEHALF OF A THIRD PARTY.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT ACTING AS YOUR AGENT IF WE USE YOUR COLLECTED DATA (IN OUR APP ANNIE STATISTICAL MODEL) TO GENERATE AND PROVIDE ESTIMATES OF APP PERFORMANCE TO SUBSCRIBERS OF OUR APP ANNIE INTELLIGENCE SERVICE.
Specifically, we may access and include your Collected Data in the pool of data used by our App Annie Statistical Model to generate and provide estimates of app performance (e.g., downloads, revenues), including across publishers, industries, geographies and marketplaces, to subscribers of App Annie Intelligence. Subscribers to App Annie Intelligence never receive your specific set of Collected Data in an identifiable form. You hereby acknowledge and consent to the use of your Collected Data in this manner by using App Annie Connect.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE ESTIMATES GENERATED BY OUR APP ANNIE STATISTICAL MODEL (AND MADE AVAILABLE TO OTHERS) MAY INCLUDE PERFORMANCE ESTIMATES OF YOUR ASSETS / DIGITAL GOODS / PRODUCTS. These estimates are derived from aggregated pools of information that may include your Collected Data. Because they are generated by our App Annie Statistical Model from aggregated pools of information and are only estimates, we consider these estimates regarding your apps to be non-identifiable even though (a) the estimates may be very similar to the actual performance data you provide as part of your Collected Data and (b) the estimates may specifically name each app and publisher.
If you have any questions about the foregoing, please contact us at legal@appannie.com.
Except as described herein, your specific set of Collected Data will not be provided to a third party in an identifiable form without your consent, unless we conclude that it is required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, implement a change of control transaction, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
You understand and agree that App Annie Connect may not be sponsored or endorsed by any third parties accessible through App Annie Connect.
In addition to the foregoing, you hereby grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable and transferable right to use your Collected Data for internal purposes to operate and improve our Services (including App Annie Intelligence) for you and other customers, and to build and operate new services and products.
A limited number of App Annie employees (including those of third-party service providers authorized to carry out tasks on our behalf, as described in our Privacy Policy) may log in to App Annie Connect on your account in order to maintain the Services. Employees of App Annie are required to sign an Insider Trading Policy agreement and Non-Disclosure Agreement to ensure the privacy of your Collected Data and Source Account Information.
Upon your request, we will delete your account and associated account information (such as your contact details, email addresses and Source Account Information). While we will immediately cease any future collection of your Collected Data upon deletion of your account, any Collected Data that has already been included in the pool of data used by our App Annie Statistical Model will not be deleted. Additional information on our Deletion practices can be found in our Privacy Policy.
You may voluntarily decide to make your Collected Data available to others, through a sharing or similar function if provided by us (“Sharing”). The scope of such Sharing, and with whom, is up to you. You agree that you are responsible for and are authorized to perform any such Sharing and that such Sharing shall be outside of the scope of these Connect Terms and our Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge and agree that you have the authorization, or have obtained the authorization, to grant us all the rights required in these Connect Terms and our Privacy Policy, and that you have acted in accordance with your company policies.
We understand that the use of App Annie Connect requires sensitive statistical and financial data to be stored on our servers, and that steps must be taken to ensure this data stays private.
While using App Annie Connect, all data that is transferred between your computer and our servers is encrypted with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
To further protect the security of your Sources, App Annie advises you to, where applicable and depending on the Sources, limit our access rights for App Annie Connect by creating and using a separated account with limited roles. See our FAQ and your Sources’ documentation on how to set this up.
You are only authorized to use App Annie Connect to retrieve information that you have lawful rights to access and provide to us, per Section B of these Connect Terms.
APP ANNIE CONNECT IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, WE HEREBY EXCLUDE AND DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO APP ANNIE CONNECT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF APP ANNIE CONNECT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
We attempt to have App Annie Connect available and operating effectively at most times but cannot guarantee that it will always be available. App Annie Connect may become unavailable for a number of reasons, including, without limitation, the performance of maintenance, the implementation of new software, in emergency situations and/or due to equipment or telecommunications failures. While we attempt to prevent any loss of data, we do not provide any guarantee against any loss of data, including, without limitation, any loss of data due to equipment or telecommunication failures. We do not guarantee complete accuracy in all aspects of App Annie Connect at all times. Features of App Annie Connect contingent on Sources are not guaranteed to always be available and are dependent on the Sources’ technologies and policies.
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT APP ANNIE DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES INCURRED BY YOU AS A RESULT OF SANCTIONS IMPOSED BY THIRD PARTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUSPENSION OF YOUR USE OF A SOURCE) BECAUSE OF YOUR USE OF APP ANNIE CONNECT. YOU AGREE THAT WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR DISCONTINUANCE OF APP ANNIE CONNECT. YOU AGREE THAT WE HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY APPLICATIONS YOU PUBLISH OR DISTRIBUTE.
In the event you use an App Annie App in connection with a device provided by Apple Inc. (“Apple”), the following shall apply:

You acknowledge and agree that App Annie, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have in relation to an App Annie App;
You acknowledge and agree that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to an App Annie App; and
In the event of any failure of an App Annie App to conform to any applicable warranty, you agree to notify Apple of such failure. Upon notification Apple will refund to you the purchase price for the application (if any).
You agree to indemnify and hold us, our directors, officers, employees and suppliers harmless to the fullest extent of applicable law from any claim, action, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including, without limitation, legal fees) arising from or in connection with (i) your breach of these Connect Terms, (ii) your violation of any laws or regulations or third-party rights (such as intellectual property or privacy rights), (iii) any content you have submitted to or through App Annie Connect or (iv) any dispute you have or may have with other users or any third party.
If you access App Annie Connect via API, the following provisions also apply:
Subject to these Connect Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to: (1) use our APIs to build software applications (each, an “Application”) that communicate with the Services and (2) display our brand, logo and links to appannie.com to promote or advertise your API integration.
You may not use our brand, logo or any links in any way that suggests, directly or indirectly, that you or the Application is sponsored, approved by, or affiliated in any way with App Annie.
We reserve the right to modify the API and to release subsequent versions of the API. You may be required to obtain and use the most recent version of the API in order to maintain functionality.
We may suspend or terminate your use of the API at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability to you.
You agree to limit access to the API (and any derived information) to employees involved in building your Application and to apply and implement in the Application at least the same level of security used to protect your own most confidential information.
You agree to provide us with access to your Application and/or other materials related to your use of the API as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with these Connect Terms. App Annie reserves the right to monitor your use of the API and/or impose limits on certain API features and services.
You understand that we are in no way obligated to provide you with any error correction or support, or otherwise maintain the API.
Except as expressly and unambiguously authorized under these Terms, you agree not to:
YOU SHOULD REVIEW THESE TERMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR COMPANY’S POLICIES TO CONFIRM THAT YOUR PROVISION OF CONSENT IS WITHIN YOUR AUTHORITY AND CONSISTENT WITH YOUR COMPANY’S POLICIES REGARDING YOUR COLLECTED DATA.
