Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 11, 2026

GSC Dashboard ("we", "our", or "the App") is a mobile application developed by OVC Tech. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.

1. Information We Collect

Google Account Information

When you sign in with Google, we access the following from your Google account:

• Your name and email address (for display purposes only)
• Your profile picture (for display purposes only)
• An authentication token to access Google Search Console on your behalf

Google Search Console Data

The App accesses your Google Search Console data using read-only permissions, including:

• Search performance data (clicks, impressions, CTR, position)
• Search queries and page URLs
• Sitemap information
• URL inspection results

Locally Stored Data

The App stores the following data locally on your device:

• Your selected site preferences and date range settings
• Keyword watchlist and goal tracking data
• SEO quiz progress and statistics
• Gemini API key (if you choose to use AI features)

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used solely to:

• Display your Google Search Console analytics data within the App
• Generate SEO suggestions and insights based on your data
• Track your quiz progress and learning streaks
• Provide AI-powered analysis (when you optionally provide your own Gemini API key)

3. Data Storage and Security

All data processing happens locally on your device. Specifically:

• No backend servers: We do not operate any servers that receive, store, or process your data.
• Secure token storage: Your Google authentication tokens are stored using your device's secure storage (Expo SecureStore), which uses the Android Keystore system.
• Local preferences: App settings and preferences are stored using on-device AsyncStorage.
• No analytics or tracking: We do not use any third-party analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs.

4. Third-Party Services

The App communicates directly with the following third-party services from your device:

• Google Sign-In: For authentication. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Search Console API: For retrieving your search performance data. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Gemini API (optional): If you choose to use AI features and provide your own API key, your search data summaries are sent to the Gemini API for analysis. Subject to Google AI Terms of Service.

We do not share your data with any other third parties.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with any third parties. Your data stays on your device and is transmitted only to Google's APIs as described above.

6. Data Retention

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• Data is retained as long as you have the App installed.
• Signing out removes your authentication tokens and cached data.
• Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: All your data is visible within the App.
• Delete: Sign out to remove cached data, or uninstall the App to remove all data.
• Revoke access: You can revoke the App's access to your Google account at any time through your Google Account permissions.
