Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly (name, email, company), usage data (API calls, content generated), and technical data (IP address, browser type) to deliver and improve our services.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to provide the ContentPulse platform, process billing, send service notifications, and improve our AI models. We never sell personal data to third parties.

3. Data Retention

Content and account data is retained for the duration of your subscription plus 30 days. Audit logs are retained for 12 months. You may request deletion at any time.

4. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Contact [email protected] for any data-related requests.

5. Google API Services — Data Collection and Use

ContentPulse offers an optional integration with Google Search Console via the Google API. When you choose to connect your Google Search Console account, we access and store the following data:

  • Google account email address — used solely to identify the connected account in your dashboard.
  • Search Analytics data — keywords, impressions, clicks, average position, and click-through rates for your verified properties.
  • Page indexing status — whether your pages are indexed, any crawl issues, and rich result eligibility.
  • OAuth access and refresh tokens — encrypted at rest and used exclusively to authenticate API requests on your behalf.

5.1 Purpose

This data is used exclusively to display search performance analytics in your ContentPulse dashboard and to submit URL indexing requests or sitemaps on your behalf. We do not use your Google data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to the features you have explicitly enabled.

5.2 Storage and Security

OAuth tokens are encrypted using AES-256 before storage. Search keyword and indexing data is stored in our database and associated with your website record. All data is transmitted over TLS-encrypted connections.

5.3 Data Sharing

Your Google user data is never sold, rented, or shared with any third party. It is accessible only to you and to authorised ContentPulse system processes that operate on your behalf.

5.4 Data Retention and Deletion

Google data is retained for the duration of your active connection. When you disconnect your Google Search Console account (via your website settings), all associated OAuth tokens are immediately deleted and revoked on Google's servers. Historical search keyword and indexing data is retained for analytical continuity but can be deleted upon request by contacting [email protected].

5.5 Revoking Access

You can disconnect your Google Search Console integration at any time from your website settings in the ContentPulse dashboard. This immediately revokes our access to your Google data. You may also revoke access directly from your Google Account permissions page.

5.6 Compliance

ContentPulse's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
