Privacy Policy

Your search data belongs to you. This page says what we collect, why, who touches it, and how you delete it.

Last updated: October 5, 2026

The short version

  • We read your Google Search Console data. We can never change anything in your Google account.
  • We use that data for one thing: to show it back to you inside Greater Search Console.
  • We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising. We do not use it to train AI models.
  • You can disconnect Google or delete your data at any time.

Who we are

Greater Search Console is a product of KENNCHOI LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“we”, “us”). We run the website www.greatersearchconsole.com and the app behind it. We are not affiliated with Google LLC. For any privacy question, write to support@greatersearchconsole.com.

What we collect

  • Your Google account email. You sign in with Google. We store your email address to identify your account. We never see your Google password.
  • Google Search Console data. With your permission we read the list of your Search Console properties and their search performance data: queries, pages, countries, devices, clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position. Access is read-only (Google scope webmasters.readonly).
  • Google access tokens. Google gives us tokens so we can keep your data up to date in the background. We store them encrypted (AES-256-GCM) on our server. They never reach your browser.
  • What you set up in the app. The queries you track, the locations you pick, and the search result pages (SERPs) we collect for those queries.
  • Billing details. Payments are handled by Stripe. We store your plan and subscription status. We never see or store your card number.
  • Technical data. Our servers log IP addresses and request times for a short period to keep the service secure and to stop abuse.

How we use Google user data

We use the data we receive from Google only to provide the features you see in the app:

  • to show your search performance, row by row, up to the limits of your plan,
  • to keep your history beyond the 16 months Google keeps,
  • to let you pick queries to track, and to show how their search results change.

Greater Search Console's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In plain words, that means:

  • We do not sell Google user data.
  • We do not use it for advertising, retargeting or credit decisions.
  • We do not use it to build or train general AI or machine-learning models.
  • Our staff do not read your data, unless you ask us for support and agree, or it is needed for security or to comply with the law.

Who we share data with

We share data only with the companies that help us run the service:

  • Stripe processes payments.
  • Cloudflare serves the website, runs our servers, stores your account data and the search result pages we collect, and protects the service from abuse.
  • Elestio hosts the database where your synced Search Console data is stored.
  • Resend sends our emails, such as the trial reminder. We send it your email address and the message.
  • Google signs you in and provides your Search Console data. If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics also receives the pages you visit (see Cookies).
  • Other service providers that power features such as query tracking. They receive only what the feature needs: for a tracked query, the query text and the location you chose. Never your name, your email, your site, or your clicks and impressions.

We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or if the business is sold or merged. In that case this policy continues to protect your data, and we will tell you first.

Cookies

We use one essential cookie, bettergsc_session, to keep you signed in. Your browser cannot read it with scripts (HttpOnly). It is always on, because sign-in needs it.

If you accept in the cookie banner, we also use Google Analytics. It sets the cookies _ga and _ga_* (kept up to 2 years) and tells Google which pages you open, your type of device and browser, and your approximate location (country or city). We use it only to see how people use the site so we can improve it. Its advertising features are switched off, and we never send it your Search Console data. If you decline, Google Analytics does not load. We use no advertising cookies.

When you have accepted, we also tell Google Analytics your plan, how many sites you have, and a random account number (never your name or email), so visits from your phone and your laptop count as one person. When you pay, our server tells Google Analytics which plan you bought and the amount.

You can change your choice at any time: .

How long we keep data

  • Keeping your history is the product, so we keep your synced data for as long as your account is open.
  • If your account stays locked (the trial ended without a plan, the plan was cancelled, or a payment failed), we may delete your synced data 90 days after it locked. We email you before we do.
  • When you remove a property in the app, we delete the data we synced for it.
  • When you disconnect Google, we delete your Google tokens.
  • When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your account and its data within 30 days. Some records, such as invoices, are kept as long as the law requires.

Your choices and rights

  • Disconnect Google or remove a property on the app's connection page.
  • Revoke our access at any time in your Google account: myaccount.google.com/permissions.
  • Get a copy, fix, or delete your data: write to support@greatersearchconsole.com. We answer within 30 days.
  • Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or California), you may have extra rights, such as objecting to processing or complaining to your data protection authority.

Security

All traffic is encrypted with HTTPS. Google tokens are encrypted at rest. Every request for data is checked against your account, so one user can never read another user's data. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach ever affects your data, we will tell you.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires it, we rely on standard safeguards for those transfers.

Children

Greater Search Console is a business tool. It is not meant for anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
