Hello Adobe Team, I found a third-party site “AdobeTrack” claiming to track Adobe Stock contributor downloads and analytics. Is this allowed under Adobe policies since no official contributor API exists? Please clarify if this is safe or violates terms.
If you are a software tester, or beta user of Adobe products (like Photoshop, Premiere, or Acrobat), "Adobe Tracker" is their public-facing ecosystem for logging system bugs and requesting new product features.
Adobe does not offer third party application developers the access to data needed to monitor the usage of your assets.
Misrepresentation is probably a way to install malware on your device.
============================================================
Tis is what Google Gemini says as an answer to your post:
No, there is no legitimate or official site called "AdobeTrack" that monitors Adobe Stock contributor metrics.
The contributor's message describes a classic phishing or credential-harvesting scam targeted specifically at stock photographers, vectors artists, and videographers.
The mechanics of this specific scenario reveal several important details:
Adobe does not provide a public API for its Stock Contributor portal. Because an official integration channel does not exist, a third-party site cannot pull your personal sales, downloads, or analytics through secure, authorized protocol handshakes (like OAuth).
For a third-party site to show you your "analytics," you would have to hand over one of two things:
Your Adobe ID username and password: The site would use automated scripts to log directly into your account.
Your active session cookies: A browser extension or script would scrape data while you are logged in.
Giving up either of these violates Adobe's Terms of Service and compromises your financial security.
If a contributor logs into a rogue platform like "AdobeTrack," they expose themselves to severe consequences:
Payout Diversion: Bad actors can log into the real Adobe Contributor portal and change the linked PayPal, Payoneer, or Skrill account, stealing accumulated earnings.
Portfolio Theft: High-ranking or high-volume portfolios can be hijacked, deleted, or transferred.
Identity Theft: The contributor backend contains tax forms (W-8BEN/W-9), legal names, home addresses, and date of birth information.
