Data and security

Your data stays yours

Read-only by default

Strictly read-only. We use the single Google Ads scope (adwords) for reporting only and never create, edit, or pause anything in your account.

Encrypted

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Access tokens and API keys are encrypted before they are stored and never kept in plain text.

Isolated per business

Row-level security in the database means one business can never read another’s data.

No third-party sharing

Your data is never sold, rented or disclosed to outside parties. It is used only to provide your analytics.

See the security page, the privacy policy and data deletion.

FAQ

Google Ads questions

What does ProfitIQ calculate from Google Ads data?

ProfitIQ connects to the Google Ads API to import your campaign cost and performance, then combines it with your product costs and returns to show true profit and ROAS per campaign — so you optimize on real margin, not just platform ROAS.

Is the Google Ads connection read-only?

Strictly read-only. We use the single Google Ads scope (adwords) for reporting only and never create, edit, or pause anything in your account. Credentials are encrypted before they are stored, and you can disconnect at any time from Settings.

Can I use Google Ads with my other sales channels?

Yes. Every channel lands in one ledger and is costed with the same formula, so profit can be compared across them. See multichannel profit and loss.
