Privacy policy

1.1 Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

A) Information you provide

• Account details you submit directly, such as your name and email address.

• Any information you provide when you contact us (for example, support requests or feedback).

B) Google Sign-In (Google authentication)

If you choose to sign in using Google, we receive basic account information from Google such as:

• Your name

• Your email address

• Your profile image (if available)

• A Google account identifier used to securely link your login to your Query Drift account

We use this information to create and maintain your account, authenticate you, and provide the Services.

C) Google Search Console data (only when you connect it)

If you connect Google Search Console, Query Drift accesses Search Console data for the properties you authorize. This is typically aggregated site performance and diagnostic data, which may include:

• Verified property list (e.g., URL-prefix or domain properties)

• Performance metrics (e.g., clicks, impressions, CTR, average position) and related dimensions such as queries, pages, device, country, and date

• Indexing and coverage-related information (e.g., indexing status categories)

• Sitemap-related metadata (e.g., submission status/last read and discovered URLs)

We request the minimum permissions needed—typically read-only access—so we can analyze and report on your Search Console data inside Query Drift. 

D) Usage and device information

We may collect information about how you use the Services, such as pages viewed, feature usage, browser type, device identifiers, and general settings like language preferences.

1.2 How we use your information

We use information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services

• Authenticate users and secure accounts (including fraud prevention and abuse detection)

• Personalize your experience (for example, showing the correct projects/properties)

• Generate reports, insights, and analyses you request within the product (including query drift and Search Console-based reporting)

• Communicate with you about service-related messages (e.g., verification emails, support responses, important updates)

Google user data limitation (Limited Use): Query Drift’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. 

1.3 What we do not do with Google data

• We do not sell Google user data.

• We do not use Google Search Console data to serve third-party ads.

• We do not access Google services that you do not authorize.

1.4 Your choices and controls (Google connection)

If you connect Google Search Console, you can control or revoke Query Drift’s access at any time by:

• Disconnecting Search Console inside the Query Drift product (if available), and/or

• Revoking the app’s access in your Google Account settings

Revoking access will prevent Query Drift from updating reports that rely on Search Console.
