5. Google API Services
Certain features of the App rely on Google API Services:
- Google Ads API: Used exclusively for keyword research. We retrieve aggregated keyword search volume and competition data. We do not access, create, modify, or manage any Google Ads campaigns or advertising data on your behalf.
- Google Search Console API: If you choose to connect your Google Search Console account, we access search analytics data (impressions, clicks, rankings) for your verified sites. You may disconnect at any time from within the App.
Your use of features that rely on Google API Services is also subject to the Google Terms of Service. Our use of data received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
6. AI-Generated Content
- The App uses third-party AI language models to generate SEO content such as meta titles, meta descriptions, alt text, and structured data.
- AI-generated content is provided on an “as-is” basis. While we strive for high quality, we do not guarantee that AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific needs.
- You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving all AI-generated content before publication.
- Product and page data (titles, descriptions, image URLs) may be sent to AI service providers for content generation. This data is not stored by the AI providers beyond the duration of the request.
