Data Security is our highest priority

Most SEO’s are cautious before connecting their data to any external tool, and they should be. In the wrong hands, your data could be used to help competitors. We would like to make clear that your data is secure, will always be yours and won’t be used for anything except your own reporting.

We don’t store your Google data

PowerSearchConsole.com does not store your Google Search Console performance data. Instead, we always query Google Search Console’s API live (“on the fly”) for every report. Your API credentials are securely stored and encrypted on our end, with the encryption keys stored separately from the encrypted credentials. Check the few exceptions below.

Your data is yours

Your data is only used for your own reporting. We will never sell any data or provide insights to other users based on your Google data. Your can safely connect your Google Search Console account without worrying about giving insights to your competitors. Our business model relies on monthly subscriptions by happy users of our tool, not on undermining them by reselling their data.

What we do store

There are some data points that we do have to store on our servers.

  • if you save queries or pages as favorites, we will store the text of the query or the address of the page URL on our end (but not the underlying metrics).
  • If you set up email reports or alerts, we will gather the required data live from Google Search Console, and we won’t store these emails on our servers. We use Mailgun to send out these emails, which has a short 1-day retention.
  • When you save report settings, we will store the filters and thresholds on our servers, but again not the underlying data.
  • The only Google metric we do store on our end is the total number of Google Clicks to your site over the past 90 days. We use this to determine which plan you need for your website. We do not store this historically, only the most recent value. If you delete a site from PSC we immediately delete this metric too.

Revoke access any time

You may revoke our access to your website’s data at any time through Google Search Console. If you delete a website in Site Settings, we immediately delete all data on file for your website.

Choose which sites to add

When you connect to your Google Account, you can choose which sites to add to PowerSearchConsole. Other sites are completely ignored, we don’t store any data related to them. You can easily delete websites at any time, erasing them completely immediately.

When adding sites, you can select which ones to add.
