Thank you for choosing seoforge.ai. Protecting your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices related to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information through the use of our website, www.seoforge.ai (the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

  • Internet or other similar network activity. Including your interaction with our Service and your communications with us about the Service.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, operate, and maintain our Service;
  • To improve, personalize, and expand our Service;
  • To understand and analyze how you use our Service and to develop new products, services, features, and functionality;

4. How We Share Your Information

Your information may be shared as follows:

  • Business Transfers. Information may be disclosed and otherwise transferred to any potential acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any proposed merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

6. Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of our database.

7. Google User Data

SEOForge lets you connect your own Google Search Console and Google Analytics accounts so you can view your website's performance inside your SEOForge dashboard. When you choose to connect these accounts, we access, use, store, and protect the associated Google user data as described below. Connecting is entirely optional, and you can disconnect at any time.

Data we access

With your explicit consent through Google's OAuth screen, and only for the accounts and properties you select, we request the following read-only scopes:

  • Google Search Console (webmasters.readonly): your list of properties and search performance data such as clicks, impressions, click-through rate, average position, queries, pages, countries, and devices.
  • Google Analytics (analytics.readonly): your list of Google Analytics 4 properties and aggregated traffic and engagement metrics such as users, sessions, page views, engagement rate, traffic channels, top pages, countries, and devices.

These scopes are read-only: we never create, modify, or delete any data in your Google accounts.

How we use this data

We use this Google user data solely to provide and improve the user-facing features you request — namely, to display your own search and analytics performance within your SEOForge dashboard (summary metrics, charts, and tables). We do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to develop, improve, or train generalized AI/ML models.

How we share this data

We do not sell your Google user data and do not share or transfer it to third parties, except with infrastructure sub-processors that operate the Service on our behalf (for example, our database and hosting providers) under confidentiality obligations, or where required by law.

How we protect this data

OAuth access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM, all data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), and access is restricted to the authenticated user's own project.

Data retention and deletion

We retain your Google user data only for as long as your account remains connected, in order to render your dashboard. When you disconnect a Google account in SEOForge, or delete your SEOForge account, we promptly delete the stored OAuth tokens and the cached Search Console and Analytics data associated with it. You can also revoke SEOForge's access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.

Limited Use

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

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice.
