PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy is important to us. It is 20 North Digital, LLC and its related companies including 20North Instant SEO Indexer (“20North Digital”) policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including across our website, and other sites we own and operate. Capitalized terms not defined in this privacy policy have the meanings given in our Terms of Service. You use of any of our Services, including the Sites, constitutes your acceptance of the terms of this privacy policy.

Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use a website or online service.

In the event our site contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our site.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information we collect falls into one of two categories: “voluntarily provided” information and “automatically collected” information.

“Voluntarily provided” information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide us when using or participating in any of our services and promotions.

“Automatically collected” information refers to any information automatically sent by your devices in the course of accessing our products and services.

Log Data

When you visit our website, our servers may automatically log the standard data provided by your web browser. It may include your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on each page, and other details about your visit.

Additionally, if you encounter certain errors while using the site, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence. This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem. You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.

Please be aware that while this information may not be personally identifying by itself, it may be possible to combine it with other data to personally identify individual persons.

Device Data

When you visit our website or interact with our services, we may automatically collect data about your device. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Services. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model, Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.

Data we collect can depend on the individual settings of your device and software. We recommend checking the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider to learn what information they make available to us.

Google User Data

When you visit our website or interact with our services, we may use Google’s OAuth 2.0 to access user data. None of the information we request or receive from Google will be personally identifiable information without your express consent. Once Google authenticates your account, 20North Digital will store the access token of authorization to our database. The information received from the Google Authentication will be stored safely on our internal database for use of these specific Services. The specific use of Google User Data will be as follows:

1. OAuth Consent and Token Storage: Upon receiving approval from Google for OAuth authentication, our application securely stores the obtained access token in our database. This token is essential for authenticating and authorizing subsequent actions within the application.

2. Application Actions Post-Authentication:

  • 2.1 Project Management: The application searches for an existing project or creates a new one as necessary. This step ensures that the application operates within the specific context of a designated Google Cloud project.
  • 2.2 Service Account Management: Similar to project management, the application searches for an existing service account or creates a new one. Service accounts are used for server-to-server interactions and are crucial for the application's operation.
  • 2.3 Service Key Handling: For the identified or newly created service account, the application deletes any existing service keys and creates a new one. This ensures that the application has up-to-date credentials for accessing Google services.
  • 2.4 API Enablement: The application enables specific Google APIs, namely the Indexation API and the Search Console API, for the created or existing project. This step is necessary for the application to perform its intended functions related to website management and analysis.
  • 2.5 Website List Retrieval: The application pulls a list of websites from the Google Search Console (GSC) to provide users with a link to the settings page within the application. This allows users to manage and monitor their websites directly.

3. Database Storage of Service Keys: The newly created service key for the service account is securely stored in the database. This key is utilized for accessing the Indexation API and the Search Console, enabling the application to perform actions on behalf of the user.

4. Access Token Management: After the OAuth process is completed, the initial access token is no longer used for application actions. It is retained solely for debugging purposes, should the user report any issues. This ensures that any problems can be promptly and effectively addressed.

5. Token Deletion Policy: If a user initiates the OAuth setup process anew, any previously stored OAuth tokens are securely deleted from the database. This policy ensures that user data is managed in accordance with best practices for data security and privacy.

Location Data

We collect location data such as information about your device’s location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Services.
