The "Deeper Digital" Google app

Deeper Digital is a local SEO company in Central Texas. We build and host websites for local service businesses, manage their Google Business Profiles, and write their blog posts, Google posts and local citations.

"Deeper Digital" is also the name of our app in Google's systems: when you see that name on a Google consent screen, it is us, and this page says exactly what the app does.

What the app is for

The app has two jobs, and nothing else:

• Sign-up on godeeperdigital.com. Some pages on this site show Google's "Continue with Google" prompt. Tapping it shares your name and email address with us so we can add you to our email list (about one email a week, unsubscribe in every one). You can ignore the prompt; nothing on this site needs a sign-in to read.
• Doing client work. Our team uses the app to read keyword search-volume statistics from Google Ads Keyword Planner, on our own agency Google Ads account, so the pages and posts we write for a client are about things people in that client's town actually search for. Those numbers feed the keyword plan each client sees in their portal at portal.godeeperdigital.com.

What Google data it reads

• From you, if you use the sign-up prompt: name and email address. Nothing else is read from your Google account.
• From Google Ads: average monthly search volume and related keyword ideas for a town. This comes from our own Google Ads account. It is statistical data, not anyone's personal data, and we do not run ads with it.
• From Google Search Console and Google Analytics, for clients who grant it: a client can give our service account read access to their own Search Console and Analytics properties. We then show that client their search queries, clicks, impressions, sessions and lead events in their portal and monthly summary. Only that client, and our two-person team, can see it.

What we do and don't do with it

• Data from Google is used only to provide the service it was collected for: your email signup, or a client's keyword plan and reporting.
• It is stored in our portal database (hosted on Cloudflare, encrypted in transit and at rest) for as long as the client is with us, and deleted on request.
• We never sell it, never use it for advertising, never share it with anyone other than the client it belongs to and the service providers named in our privacy policy, and never use it to train AI or machine-learning models.
• Our use of information from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How to remove the app's access

• If you used the sign-up prompt: go to myaccount.google.com/permissions, find "Deeper Digital" and remove it. To be taken off the email list as well, use the unsubscribe link in any email or write to [email protected].
• If you are a client: remove our service account from your Search Console property (Settings › Users and permissions) or your Analytics property (Admin › Property access management) at any time. Your portal keeps working; those cards simply stop updating.
