Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you use ScanGSC, we may collect the following types of data:

  • User-Provided Information: When you sign up, contact us, or provide feedback, we may collect your name, email, company details, and other relevant information you provide.
  • Google Search Console Data: To provide our core services, ScanGSC requires access to your Google Search Console data via Google's official APIs. This includes performance data (clicks, impressions, CTR, position), indexing status, coverage reports, queries, pages, countries, devices, and other related metrics available through the API. Access is granted through your explicit authorization via Google's OAuth consent screen.
  • Usage Data & Analytics: We track how you interact with ScanGSC to improve our services. This may include features used, reports generated, session duration, IP address, browser type, and device information.
  • Cookies & Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies or similar analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to enhance user experience, remember preferences, and track platform performance and usage patterns.
  • Data Sharing: We do not share, transfer, or disclose any identifiable Google Search Console user data with third-party entities under any circumstances, except as required by law or necessary to provide the service (e.g., processing by our secure cloud infrastructure providers like AWS or Google Cloud under strict confidentiality agreements). Aggregated, anonymized data may be used for internal analysis or reporting.
  • Data Retention & Deletion: We retain Google Search Console data linked to your account only while you have an active subscription or trial. If a user cancels their subscription and remains inactive for 90 days, all associated Google Search Console data is permanently deleted from our active systems. Basic account information (like email) may be retained for administrative purposes unless requested otherwise. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting support.
  • Use in AI/ML Models: ScanGSC uses AI/ML models to analyze the Google Search Console data you authorize us to access, in order to generate insights and reports *for you*. We **do not** use your specific Google Search Console data to train generalized AI or machine learning models that would be used for other customers or purposes. Any model training uses anonymized, aggregated data patterns or publicly available information, not your specific site data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

  • Provide and improve ScanGSC services, including generating AI-powered reports, insights, and alerts based on your connected Google Search Console data.
  • Personalize your experience within the ScanGSC platform.
  • Enhance user experience by optimizing platform functionality and performance.
  • Respond to customer inquiries and provide support.
  • Analyze usage trends (using anonymized or aggregated data) to improve ScanGSC's features and AI capabilities.
  • Ensure data security and prevent unauthorized access.
  • Communicate with you about your account, service updates, and relevant offers (you can opt-out of promotional emails).

3. Data Protection & Security

  • We prioritize your data security with industry-standard measures, including encryption (both in transit and at rest), secure cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud), access controls, and regular security audits.
  • Access to your Google Search Console data is strictly controlled and limited to personnel requiring access for service provision or support, under confidentiality obligations.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal or identifiable Google Search Console data with third parties for marketing purposes.
  • We comply with Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Information received from Google APIs will adhere to this policy.

4. Third-Party Services

  • ScanGSC connects directly to the Google Search Console API based on your authorization. Your use of Google services is subject to Google's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  • We may use third-party services for payment processing (e.g., Stripe), analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and infrastructure (e.g., AWS/GCP). These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We ensure these providers adhere to high data protection standards.

5. Updates to This Policy

  • We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. We will notify users of significant changes via email or through the platform.
