Privacy Policy

McInnovated LLC ("McInnovated," "we," "us") is a digital marketing agency based in Mississippi, USA. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information on this website and in our internal application, McInnovated Keyword Research (the "App").

Effective date: October 7, 2026

1. About the App

The App is an internal, read-only keyword research tool used only by McInnovated staff. It connects to the Google Ads API to look up keyword ideas, search volume, competition, and estimated bid ranges for specific locations. We use this information to plan advertising and SEO strategy for our business and our clients. The App is not offered to the public, and it does not create, change, or manage any ads, campaigns, budgets, or bids.

2. Information the App accesses

When a McInnovated team member signs in with Google and grants permission, the App uses the Google Ads scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords) to access:

  • Keyword Planner data: keyword ideas, average monthly searches, competition levels, and top-of-page bid estimates.
  • Location targeting data: Google Ads location names and IDs (for example, a city, county, or ZIP code).
  • Basic account information needed to make requests, such as the Google Ads account ID.

The App does not access Gmail, Google Drive, contacts, or any other Google services, and it does not collect personal information about members of the public.

3. How we use the information

  • To research search demand and advertiser competition in local markets.
  • To plan Google Ads and SEO strategy for McInnovated and our clients.
  • To prepare summarized research for our own clients.

We do not use Google user data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to build profiles of individuals.

4. Storage and security

  • Sign-in credentials (OAuth tokens) are stored only on McInnovated computers, in local files that are not shared or published.
  • Keyword research results are cached on those computers for up to 7 days to reduce repeated requests, then refreshed or deleted.
  • Data is transmitted to and from Google over encrypted HTTPS connections.
  • We do not store Google user data on any public server or third-party database.

5. Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade Google user data. We do not transfer it to third parties, except as needed to provide our services to our own clients (in summarized reports), to comply with the law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with prior notice.

Google API Services disclosure

McInnovated'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.

6. Data retention and deletion

Cached research data is kept for up to 7 days. Exported reports are kept only as long as needed for client work. You can revoke the App's access to your Google account at any time at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions. To ask us to delete any data related to you, contact us using the details below.
