This document applies to: Google Analytics Dashboard, Earnings Dashboard for Google Adsense™, YouTube Analytics, Advanced Google Analytics, Search Engine Insights, or any other plugin, module or application, which uses Google Analytics API, Adsense Management API, YouTube Analytics API, YouTube Data API, Search Console API or any other Google API (further named extensions).
How these extensions work? Data usage details
When using Custom API Projects and extensions without an Exchange Token Endpoint:
- Each extension uses native Google APIs for OAuth2 authentication and data requests.
- An extension needs an access token to retrieve data from your Google account. When you authorize an extension, a refresh token is stored in your database to eliminate the need of repeatedly authenticate.
- After you authorize an extension, the widget will have access to your individual data. The data exchange is made only between Google APIs and the extension. Your data will not be shared with any third parties nor me.
- To improve user’s experience and to optimize page loading speeds, reports are stored in a cache, in your database, for a certain amount of time (maximum 24 hours).
When using extensions with an Exchange Token Endpoint and the default API Project:
- Each extension uses native Google APIs for OAuth2 authentication and data requests.
- An extension needs an access token to retrieve data from your Google account. When you authorize an extension, a refresh token is stored in your database to eliminate the need of repeatedly authenticate.
- After you authorize an extension, the widget will have access to your individual data.
- The stored refresh token is used to retrieve a valid access token by making periodic requests at the Exchange Token Endpoint.
- The data exchange, except for the exchange token flow described above, is made only between Google APIs and the extension. Your data will not be shared with any third parties nor me.
- To improve user’s experience and to optimize page loading speeds, reports are stored in a cache, in your database, for a certain amount of time (maximum 24 hours).
Each extension obeys to Google’s Terms and Conditions. You may also be interested in my Privacy Policy.
