Google API data use

Why we ask for these Google permissions

Last updated: September 25, 2026

When you connect Google to SeeMeNow.AI, we ask for a small set of permissions. This page explains what each one lets us do, which features use it, and what we will never use it for.

Google API Services User Data Policy

SeeMeNow.AI's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

The account owner connects Google once, from Account Settings. Their team members see a project's data through that connection and never connect their own Google account.

01The permissions we request

Your Google identity

openid email

This tells us which Google account is connected, so we can show it in Account Settings and stop a project's data from being switched to a different account by mistake.

Google Search Console, read-only

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly

Used to read clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position by search query, page, date and country, for the sites you choose. It powers:

  • keyword and page rankings, and the opportunities worth acting on
  • trends that separate a real change from a seasonal one
  • deep dives on a single page, and the weekly and monthly plans
  • before-and-after measurement of the work you complete, and client reports
  • AI scan questions, which can be based on searches you already appear in
  • on first connection, the list of your verified sites, so you can pick one for each project
We will never use it to
  • submit sitemaps, request indexing or change any Search Console setting (the permission is read-only)
  • use your search data for advertising, or sell it

Google Analytics 4, read-only

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly

Used to read sessions, engagement, key events or the lead events you choose, revenue and orders, channels, landing pages, locations and referral sources, including visits from AI assistants, for the properties you choose. It powers:

  • lead-generation and e-commerce dashboards
  • the value of a search click, from your own conversion rates, so opportunities can be shown in dollars
  • the weekly health score and client reports
  • context for measuring completed work
  • on first connection, the list of your properties, so you can pick one for each project
We will never use it to
  • identify or profile individual visitors (we read aggregated reports only)
  • change, delete or write anything in your Analytics property (the permission is read-only)
  • use your analytics for advertising, or sell it

Google Docs

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents

Used to create and update the documents the Service makes, and to read the edits and comments people make in them. It powers:

  • drafts, briefs and merged action plans delivered as Google Docs for review
  • Expertise questions sent to a business, and bringing its answers back
  • two-way sync, so edits made in the Doc come back into SeeMeNow.AI
  • comment sync between the Doc and the Service
We will never use it to
  • open, read or change any document the Service didn't create for your projects
  • share document content with anyone except the providers listed below, and only as needed for a feature you use

Google Drive, files created by SeeMeNow.AI only

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file

This is the narrowest Drive permission Google offers: it covers only files SeeMeNow.AI creates. We use it to:

  • save documents and generated images to your Drive
  • set sharing on those files so reviewers can open them. Review documents are shared so anyone with the link can edit, which lets a client review without a Google login.
  • check when a linked file last changed, so sync runs only when something is new
This permission does not let us
  • see, list or open any file in your Drive that SeeMeNow.AI didn't create
  • browse your folders

02What we store

Trend and measurement features need history, so we store:

  • weekly snapshots of Search Console query and page performance
  • per-page and aggregated Google Analytics figures
  • the figures inside each report we send, and the before-and-after figures for measured work
  • Google API responses cached for up to 4 hours
  • the text of drafts and plans, and the edits and comments synced from their Google Docs
  • access tokens, encrypted at rest with AES-256

Stored data stays with your projects while your account is active. When you close your account or ask us to delete it, we delete it within 30 days, except records the law requires us to keep.

03Who receives Google user data

Only the service providers a feature you use needs:

ProviderWhat it receivesWhy
Google Gemini APISearch Console and Analytics figures, with page textTo produce diagnoses, recommendations, plans and drafts
DataForSEOSearch terms, domains and scan questions, some based on your Search Console queriesTo fetch live Google results and the answers ChatGPT and Gemini give

We don't transfer Google user data to anyone else, except where the law requires it, for security, or as part of a merger or acquisition with notice to you.

04What we never do

  • Sell Google user data, or use it for advertising, retargeting or credit decisions
  • Use it to develop, improve or train generalized AI or machine-learning models, ours or anyone else's
  • Let people read it, except with your permission, for security or abuse investigations, to comply with the law, or in aggregated form for internal operations
  • Ask for more access than the features above need

05Disconnecting

From SeeMeNow.AI

Go to Account Settings and click Disconnect next to Google. We revoke our access at Google straight away. Your projects keep the data already stored but stop updating until you reconnect.

From your Google Account

Visit myaccount.google.com/permissions, choose SeeMeNow.AI and remove access.

Documents SeeMeNow.AI created stay in your Drive, where you can keep or delete them. To have stored Google data deleted from SeeMeNow.AI, email us.
