Security

The App Store is a platform where users can purchase and spend credits, and perform data-access operations. Thus, security is paramount. We adhere to the highest web standards.

Secure Web Requests and HTTPS

Can information you send and request be intercepted over the internet?

Take a look at our web address.

Note the “https” prefix and the padlock.

HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, the communication protocol of the World Wide Web. S stands for secure. It means all communication between you and the App Store is encrypted. It is the same approach used in banking websites.

Encryption does not prevent message interception, but it does mean the information content is secure.

Logging in to the App Store and User Authentication

Is a user who they claim to be?

Any interaction between a user and the App Store must be authenticated. If a user is not authenticated, App Store redirects to a log-in page.

We provide two methods for user authentication:

Log in with your LinkedIn account

Using a social media site as an authentication provider is an increasing popular method of managing log-in. It's simpler for you as you don't need to set-up and remember a dedicated log-in for the App Store.

We reviewed LinkedIn's security policy and we trust they take their responsibility for your privacy seriously.

Log in with your work account

An organization can register with the App Store to allow it's users to log in with their work accounts.

This is managed via Microsoft Azure Active Directory:

Azure AD can be integrated with an existing Windows Server Active Directory, giving organizations the ability to leverage their existing on-premises identity investments to manage access to cloud based SaaS applications.
