Your Ad Squad Dashboard and Google user data

Your Ad Squad Dashboard, at dash.youradsquad.com, is a private, invitation-only web application that our team uses to track and report SEO work for client websites. It has no public sign-up. Clients do not need a dashboard account: our team can give a client a private, view-only link to that client’s website results and can prepare reports for the client. This section explains how the dashboard handles information it receives from Google APIs (“Google user data”). It applies in addition to the rest of this notice.

Google access the dashboard requests

When an authorized team member chooses to connect a Google account, Google asks that person to approve read-only access. The dashboard requests these Google OAuth scopes, each through its own connection:

• Google Search Console (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly): view Search Console data for sites the Google account can access.
• Google Analytics (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly): view Google Analytics data for properties the Google account can access.

The dashboard does not request permission to change Search Console or Google Analytics settings or data, and it does not request access to Gmail, Google Drive, contacts or calendars. Signing in to the dashboard itself does not use Google sign-in.

Google user data the dashboard accesses

• Search Console: the list of Search Console properties the connected account can access and its permission level for each, and, for each website property our team selects, search performance data: clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position, by date and by search query, page, country and device.
• Google Analytics: the Analytics accounts and properties (with their names) the connected account can access; the selected property’s web data streams, so the property can be matched to the correct website; and report data for the selected property: sessions, engaged sessions, active users and key events, by date, default channel group, landing page and event name.

How we use Google user data

We use Google user data only to provide the dashboard’s reporting features: matching each client website to its Search Console and Analytics properties, showing search performance and website traffic in the dashboard, keeping a history of results over time, and including those results in the client view-only links and reports our team prepares for that website. The dashboard uses the Google authorization only to retrieve this data for the properties our team selected.

Google API Services User Data Policy and Limited Use

Your Ad Squad Dashboard’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular:

• We use Google user data only to provide and improve the user-facing reporting features described above.
• We do not sell Google user data. We do not use or transfer it for advertising, including retargeting or personalized advertising, and we do not transfer it to advertising platforms, data brokers or information resellers.
• We do not use Google user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
• We do not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalized artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.
• We transfer Google user data only as described under “Sharing” below.
• People read Google user data only when they are authorized team members or clients using the dashboard’s reporting features for that website; when you have given consent; when necessary for security purposes, such as investigating abuse; or when required to comply with applicable law.

Storage and security

Google authorization tokens are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) before they are saved and are used only by the dashboard’s server. Search Console and Analytics results are stored in the dashboard’s private database on our server. Access is limited to signed-in members of the agency workspace that made the connection and to the client view-only links and reports our team creates. Connections to Google and to the dashboard use encrypted HTTPS. Dashboard backups, which include this database, are kept in restricted server storage, and an encrypted backup copy is also kept with a cloud storage provider. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

Sharing

We share Google user data only:

• with authorized members of the agency workspace that connected the Google account;
• with the client business for the website, through a private view-only link or report our team chooses to provide. Anyone who has a view-only link can view that website’s results, so links should be shared only with the intended client. Our team can turn a link off;
• with service providers that host and back up the dashboard, only as needed to operate it; and
• where required by law, or where necessary to protect rights, safety and security.

We do not send Search Console or Google Analytics data to the separate keyword-ranking or link-data providers the dashboard may use.

Retention and deletion

We keep Google user data while it is needed to provide reporting for the client website, including saved historical results and reports. We have not set an automatic deletion period for saved dashboard results. Disconnecting a website or removing a Google authorization stops new collection but does not by itself delete results or reports already saved.

To ask us to delete Google user data stored in the dashboard, use Privacy Request, email growth@youradsquad.com or call 517-249-0160. Our team handles these deletions on request; the dashboard does not yet offer self-service deletion. We may need to verify your identity or authority first. Encrypted off-site backup copies are removed after 30 days; other backup copies remain in restricted server storage until they are removed.

Disconnecting and revoking Google access

• In the dashboard, a team member can disconnect a website’s Search Console or Analytics connection. This stops new collection for that website.
• A team member can remove a Google authorization. This clears the saved Google token and property list, stops updates for every website that used it, and gives the option to ask Google to revoke the dashboard’s access at the same time.
• The Google account owner can revoke the dashboard’s access at any time from their Google Account’s third-party connections page.

Questions about the dashboard’s use of Google user data can be sent to growth@youradsquad.com or by calling 517-249-0160.

Qualified Leads Campaign information

Campaign setup may include your purchaser/contact email, business details where provided, the service and area to prioritize, where inquiries should go and optional instructions. We also keep the setup submission, verified payment/transaction references, order and review notes, written start date and first-month deadline, and qualified-inquiry records and counts needed to manage the campaign and its delivery commitment.

We use those details to respond to you, match payment and setup to the correct business, plan and carry out the agreed work, route inquiries, review lead-quality questions, record progress and manage the campaign commitment. Provide only information you are authorized to share; do not include passwords, payment-card data or unnecessary private customer information in a form.

Stripe handles checkout and payment-card details under its own privacy notice. Our staff reconcile the payment reference and status with setup; a setup submission does not prove payment. HighLevel/LeadConnector provides the hosted setup form, contact information and related workflow/task records. Authorized staff handle order and lead records; hosting and communication providers support the service as described below.

Requesting or buying this campaign is not consent to unrelated marketing. Existing email, text, cookie and opt-out choices remain separate and apply to their respective uses. The retention, security and privacy-request provisions below also apply to campaign records.

$99 Prove-It Challenge information

For the $99 Prove-It Challenge, we handle the contact and business details you provide, website and agreed-work information, your terms-acceptance record (including the version, document fingerprint and time), verified payment status and transaction references, and service correspondence. Challenge records may also include starting benchmarks, work and progress updates, final reports, and any refund requests and confirmations.

We use these details to respond to you, verify eligibility and payment, record agreed work and permissions, deliver and report on the work, communicate with you, handle refund requests, and maintain necessary service and business records. Matt handles Challenge communications, progress updates, final reports and refund requests personally. Your submitted information, terms acceptance and verified payment are stored in GoHighLevel. Stripe handles checkout and payment-card details under its own privacy notice.

Joining or buying the Challenge does not authorize unrelated marketing or outreach to your customer list. Campaign outreach requires appropriate permissions and your separate approval. The existing retention, security, communication-choice and privacy-request provisions below also apply to Challenge records. Do not send passwords, payment-card information or unnecessary private customer information.

Microsoft Clarity

When you allow both Analytics and Advertising in Cookie Settings, we partner with Microsoft Clarity to understand how you use our public website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps and session replay. This includes interactions such as clicks, scrolling and navigation, page and browser/device information, and technical information such as IP addresses. We use these insights to improve the website, its usability and our services and marketing. Microsoft may use website usage data for site analytics, security and advertising under its own privacy statement.

Clarity uses first-party and third-party cookies and similar technologies to connect visits and interactions. We mask page text in recordings, and Clarity masks input boxes and dropdowns. We do not use Clarity on private, payment-success, thank-you or privacy-request pages, or load it on page visits containing URL query strings or fragments. We do not send customer identifiers to Clarity.

Clarity remains off if you reject optional tracking, allow only one of its required categories, or enable Global Privacy Control. You can withdraw permission at any time using Cookie Settings. For details about Microsoft's collection, use and protection of information, read the Microsoft Privacy Statement. See our Cookie Policy for storage and controls.
