SEO Expert app: Privacy Policy
Effective 29 October 2026
This policy explains how the SEO Expert for Search Console iPhone app (“SEO Expert”, “the app”), made by SEO Expert Marketing (“we”), handles your information. In short: the app has no server. Your data goes from Google straight to your iPhone and stays there. We never receive it.
What the app reads from your Google account
When you choose “Sign in with Google”, Google asks you to allow:
- Your basic profile (name, email address and profile picture), to show which account is signed in.
- Read-only access to Google Search Console (
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly): the list of your Search Console sites, their search performance data (clicks, impressions, click-through rate, average position, by date, hour, search term, page, country and device), your sitemaps, and URL Inspection results for pages you choose to check.
The access is read-only: the app cannot add, change or delete anything in Search Console or in your Google account.
How the information is used
The app uses this information only to show it to you inside the app: charts, tables, comparisons, opportunities, reports you choose to share, and page checks. It is not used for advertising, profiling or any other purpose, and it is not sold, rented or shared with anyone.
Where it is stored
- The app talks directly to Google from your iPhone. There is no SEO Expert server in between, and we keep no copy.
- To open quickly and work offline, the app saves the latest downloaded numbers on your iPhone only, in the app’s private storage. Your settings (tags, watchlist, appearance, free site) are also kept on the iPhone.
- Google keeps your sign-in in the iPhone’s secure storage (Keychain) through Google’s sign-in library.
Page speed tests
When you run a speed test, the app sends the address of that page to Google’s PageSpeed Insights service, which loads the public page and returns the scores. This is covered by Google’s own privacy policy.
Purchases
SEO Expert Pro subscriptions are sold and handled by Apple through the App Store. We do not see your payment details. The app only asks Apple on your iPhone whether a Pro subscription is active.
No tracking
The app has no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party data collection. It does not track you across apps or websites.
Your choices
- Sign out (Settings → Sign out): signs out and removes the saved Search Console numbers from the iPhone.
- Remove access (Settings → Remove SEO Expert’s access to Google): also withdraws the app’s permission in your Google account. You can also do this at any time at myaccount.google.com/connections.
- Delete (Settings → Delete my data on this iPhone), or delete the app: removes everything the app saved.
Google API Services User Data Policy
SEO Expert’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.
Children
The app is a tool for website owners and is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
