Privacy Notice
Last updated: September 18, 2026 · 2026-09-18.1
Google user data
This section describes, in one place, what we do with data we receive through Google APIs. It was written in response to Google’s API verification and forms part of this privacy notice.
- What we access, and what we do not
- When you connect a Google Ads account, we ask for one single authorisation scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords. Through it we read the advertising data of the accounts you select after signing in: account names and customer IDs, campaigns, ad groups, ads and their creative text, budgets and bidding settings, and performance reports (impressions, clicks, cost, conversions, conversion value, and the regional breakdown of that spend). With the same scope we write back exactly three kinds of change, and only after you or a colleague approved them in the product: switching a campaign, ad group or ad on or off, and changing a daily budget. We request no other Google scope. We do not access Gmail, Google Drive, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Google Photos, your Google account profile, your location history or any other Google service, and the authorisation we hold does not permit us to. - How we use it
- Google Ads data is used for one purpose: running and improving the advertising of the account it came from. Concretely it is shown to you and your colleagues in your own workspace; it is fed into deterministic rules and into AI agents that produce written suggestions (pause this, raise that budget, this measurement looks broken), each of which names the numbers it came from; and, once approved, it is used to carry out the change on the account. We also keep daily totals per account so we can show history and measure afterwards whether an executed change actually helped. We do not use Google user data to build profiles of individuals, to target advertising of our own, to enrich any other dataset, or to develop, train, retrain or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model — neither ours nor a third party’s.
- Who receives it
- Google user data is shared only with the service providers we need to operate the product, each of them bound by a data processing agreement and acting only on our instructions: Supabase (database and file storage, hosted in Frankfurt, Germany) stores it; Vercel (application hosting) processes it in transit while pages and jobs run; Anthropic receives the campaign figures and names that a specific analysis needs, in order to generate the written suggestion, under terms that exclude training on the data sent; GitHub runs the scheduled jobs that fetch and analyse it. Inside your own workspace, the data is visible to the members you invited and to nobody else — workspaces are separated at the database level. CBX Media staff in the United Arab Emirates can access it only for support, security and troubleshooting, on a need-to-know basis and under confidentiality obligations. Beyond that we disclose Google user data to no one. We do not sell it, we do not rent or trade it, we do not pass it to advertising networks, data brokers, credit agencies or information resellers, and we do not transfer it to any other customer or workspace. The only other circumstances in which it could leave us are a binding legal obligation or a lawful order from a competent authority, and a transfer of our business, in which case the recipient would be bound by this notice and you would be told beforehand.
- Limited Use
- Marketing AIgency’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- How it is protected
- Google user data is treated as sensitive throughout. The OAuth refresh token that gives us access is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is written to the database, with a key held only in the server environment and never in the database itself; it is never exposed to the browser and never leaves our servers. All traffic to Google, to our servers and to our database runs over TLS. Data at rest is additionally encrypted by the database provider. Every table carries row-level security, and the browser key has no rights on any table at all — reads and writes happen only server-side, scoped to your workspace, so one customer’s Google data is structurally unreachable from another’s session. Accounts can be protected with two-factor authentication using passkeys. Access by our staff is limited to the few people who operate the service, is used only for support you asked for, for investigating a security incident, or where the law requires it, and administrative access to the product is itself protected by a passkey and logged. Every change our system makes to a Google Ads account is recorded with who approved it, when, and what the values were before and after. We review these arrangements at least once a year and after any material change to the product.
- How long we keep it and how you end it
- You can disconnect a Google Ads account at any time under Accounts in the product. Doing so revokes our authorisation at Google and deletes the stored credentials immediately; you can also revoke it yourself at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, which stops our access at once. After disconnection we retain no ability to reach the account. Performance figures already fetched are kept as the account’s history — campaign and action logs for at most twelve months, routine operational logs for 30 days — and are deleted earlier on request. Deletion of everything, including that history, is described on our data deletion page and can be requested at any time at privacy@marketing-aigency.com; backups expire no later than 30 days after an active deletion.
- The same applies to the other platforms
- Advertising data we receive from Meta and from TikTok is handled under exactly the same rules as described above: same purpose, same recipients, same protection, same retention, no sale, no model training, and the same ability to disconnect and have the credentials deleted.
Version 2026-09-18.1 | 18 September 2026 | marketing-aigency.com and app.marketing-aigency.com
1. Controller and contact
CBX Media LLC, Shams Business Center, Sharjah Media City Free Zone, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, licence 2537521, represented by Laura Eva Bozic, General Manager. Privacy: privacy@marketing-aigency.com. Support: hello@marketing-aigency.com.
EU representative for privacy enquiries and regulatory correspondence: DIS-CONNECT GmbH, Gerwigstraße 29, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany, info@dis-connect.de. Christian Bozic and Georg of Dis-Connect jointly handle the privacy mailbox. Dis-Connect does not operate attribution or have general access to customer accounts or databases.
2. Our own processing and customer instructions
CBX is controller for its website, user accounts, contracts, billing and communication. For personal data from customer advertising accounts, attribution, surveys and content, we process on the business customer’s instructions under a DPA. Visitors to a customer website should contact its operator; we assist them. This notice does not replace the customer’s notice.
3. Accounts, contracts, support and security
We process names, business email, company, workspace role, login/security data, booked services, contract/payment information and support messages. Sources are you, authorised workspace members, connected platforms and payment services. Card details are handled by the payment provider; we receive payment status and billing references.
Where GDPR applies, bases are Article 6(1)(b) for contracts with the individual; Article 6(1)(f) for communication/contract administration with corporate contacts, secure operations, abuse prevention and legal defence; and Article 6(1)(c) for legal billing, retention and evidence duties. Necessary particulars are required for account/service delivery; additional optional fields remain voluntary.
Hosting services process necessary connection information such as IP address, time and requested resource for delivery, security and troubleshooting. Optional advertising/analytics events are separate. Any own aggregate reach measurement is limited to necessary page/referral and coarse device/country information without persistent visitor identifiers; its initial processing is not automatically anonymous. The basis is our legitimate interest in an operational website; device access requiring consent remains subject to your choice.
4. Providers and international processing
Vercel and Supabase provide hosting/database functions; booked AI uses Anthropic and optional transcription ElevenLabs. GitHub may operate automated jobs and encrypted backups. Addresses, functions and processing are set out in DPA Schedule C supplied with these documents. Technical providers are contractually bound as required.
Payments use Stripe Payments Europe, Limited (Ireland) and necessary payment/verification partners; see Stripe privacy. Email uses Google services. Our own bookkeeper is Buchhaltung International FZE, Business Centre, Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone, Sharjah, UAE. Professional advisers, authorities and courts receive information only on a necessary legal basis. Payment services and advisers may be independent controllers for their own statutory purposes.
Core infrastructure is in Frankfurt; necessary CBX access is from the UAE. International providers may also process in the USA, Singapore and countries in their provider chains. EU hosting does not exclude remote access or onward transfers. Where GDPR Chapter V requires safeguards, we use an effective basis appropriate to the flow and necessary supplementary measures, including suitable SCCs or an applicable adequacy decision. EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification covers only included recipients/operations, not CBX’s UAE processing. Request details and a copy of relevant safeguards at privacy@marketing-aigency.com. A transfer without its required basis does not start or is suspended.
5. Website analytics and advertising
Analytics and advertising are separately selectable. Optional tags/pixels and associated server-side events remain blocked before the relevant consent. Refusal does not affect contracted services. Bases are GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and, where device consent is required, section 25(1) German TDDDG. Change your choice at any time through “Privacy choices” or cookie settings in the website footer. Withdrawal applies to the future.
Google Analytics 4: With analytics consent, GA4 measures visited pages, sources and usage. It processes page/event data, a random identifier, device/browser details, coarse region and technically necessary IP information. Google states that GA4 does not log or store IP addresses. _ga and _ga_* cookies identify visits/sessions, by default for up to two years. Our property’s user/event retention is limited to 14 months. Recipients can include Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google privacy, data processing terms.
Planned advertising services: Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Ads including Meta Pixel, and TikTok Ads including TikTok Pixel are envisaged for conversion measurement and advertising optimisation. This does not mean all are already installed. A service remains inactive until its specific purposes, recipients and lifetimes are described in cookie settings and you permit it. Authorised processing particularly includes sanitised page/conversion events, click and online identifiers and device/browser information. Personalisation, audience matching and additional server-side conversions are explicitly described before use.
Google Ads may involve the Google entities above. Meta recipients particularly include Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland, and Meta Platforms, Inc., USA. TikTok entities depend on account, function and visitor region, particularly TikTok Pte. Ltd., Singapore, TikTok Technology Limited, Ireland, and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited, UK. The specific activated recipient and any joint-controllership information are explained in the service-specific notice before selection. Meta privacy, TikTok business privacy.
Other platforms may be added after we describe their actual processing and obtain any required new consent. Earlier consent does not generally cover unknown future recipients. Google Signals, User-ID, enhanced conversions, advanced matching, list uploads and remarketing do not automatically follow from analytics consent. Hashing does not replace a legal basis. Logged-in areas containing customer content are excluded from our own advertising tracking.
6. Consent records and necessary storage
Necessary storage supports login, language, workspace and your privacy choice. Consent records include the choice, time, text version, a random evidence identifier and, where applicable, coarse country/device information. They demonstrate and implement the choice, not advertising; randomness does not make an identifier anonymous. The basis is GDPR Article 6(1)(c) with Article 7(1), where applicable. Records are normally retained for three years, longer only for a specific legal need, separate from marketing data.
7. Customer modules
Attribution processes authorised source/click identifiers, time, sanitised URL and possibly transient plaintext email for hashing. Surveys process voluntary answers and expressly agreed order fields. Conversion feedback requires recorded customer instructions and appropriate visitor consent. AI functions receive necessary campaign context and user inputs; optional speech is transcribed. We do not use this instructed data for our own personal advertising or model training. Customer agreements/DPAs define particulars, recipients and periods.
8. Retention
Account data are needed during use; document 04 governs export/deletion after termination. Raw lead/attribution and survey data normally last at most 90 days, AI chat normally 90 days, campaign/action logs at most twelve months and routine operational logs 30 days. Tokens are promptly revoked/deleted on disconnect or authorisation expiry. Backups expire no later than 30 days after active deletion. Contract/consent evidence normally lasts three years after the relevant operation ends; legally required records follow the applicable statutory period. Specific disputes may require bounded, separate evidence preservation. Earlier valid deletion claims and loss of purpose remain relevant.
9. Your rights
Statutory rights include access, correction, deletion, restriction and portability. You may withdraw consent for the future at any time. You may object to GDPR Article 6(1)(f) processing on grounds relating to your situation, and to direct marketing at any time. Contact privacy@marketing-aigency.com or our EU representative. You may complain to a competent supervisory authority, particularly at your residence, workplace or the place of an alleged infringement. The relevant customer controls instructed customer data; we forward and assist with requests.
AI suggestions and campaign actions serve agreed advertising management. This does not describe a solely automated decision about an individual with legal or similarly significant effects. New functions with different purposes/effects are explained beforehand. Material notice changes are announced on the website and additionally where necessary; required new consent is obtained before new processing.
