Your Mac is your workspace

Your tracked apps, keywords, rankings, saved popularity samples, rating samples, notes and cached research are stored in a SQLite database on your Mac. Your workspace database is not uploaded to our service. License keys and the local MCP token are stored in macOS Keychain. Ranklane does not include product analytics, advertising trackers or third-party crash analytics.

Store research

When you search or refresh, Ranklane sends the search term, app ID, country and language to Apple or Google. Your IP address is visible to these services. App icons load from image addresses returned by the store. These services handle requests under their own privacy policies. A keyword can reveal personal information, so choose terms accordingly.

Apple popularity service — not enabled yet

The shared Apple popularity connection is in preparation and remains disabled. When enabled, requesting it will send the selected terms, country, category, license key, device activation and random installation identifier to our Cloudflare service. The service will ask Polar to validate the license and device for every request. Our application does not save the license key, activation, installation identifier or requested term list in its service database or application logs.

Apple receives the country, category and reporting week, rather than your selected term list. Complete eligible market reports are cached for up to 24 hours and can serve multiple licensed customers. Reports older than 21 days are eligible for scheduled cleanup. Short-lived salted license and IP digests limit requests. This service does not upload your local ranking history or notes. Live access and permitted customer use must be verified before it is enabled.

App updates

App update checks use Sparkle and contact our release server on Cloudflare. The server receives ordinary request information such as your IP address and app version. System profiling is disabled. Automatic update checking starts disabled and can be enabled in Settings. Update checks do not send your keyword research or Polar license key to the release server.

Purchases and license verification

Polar processes checkout, tax, subscription and license records under its privacy policy. Ranklane sends your license key, organization and benefit identifiers, activation identifier and a random installation identifier to Polar to activate or validate your Mac. Ranklane does not receive or store card numbers. See Polar’s privacy policy.

Website and service

The website and billing helper run on Cloudflare. Standard request metadata may be processed to deliver and protect the service. Our application logs omit request bodies, authorization headers and license keys. Rate limits use short-lived salted IP digests, deleted after they expire. Verified webhook event references contain an event ID, event type and timestamps, retained for up to 90 days. We do not store raw webhook payloads or customer emails in that event log.

Local AI integration

MCP is off by default and listens only on this Mac when enabled. Connections need your local token. Read access can expose your research to the AI client you connect; its own provider may process that information. Write tools need a separate opt-in. Treat copied MCP configuration as a secret.

Control and deletion

Export keywords from the app at any time. Removing an application removes its local keyword history, rating samples and notes. To erase the complete workspace, quit Ranklane and remove its Application Support folder. Keychain credentials can be removed through macOS Keychain Access. Contact support for records controlled by us; payment records may be retained by Polar where legally required.
