🛡️ Google Limited Use Disclosure
GoAds' 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.

Specifically, regarding data accessed via Google APIs (including Google Business Profile API):

  • Strict Purpose Limitation: We only access Google data to read incoming reviews, display reputation analytics in your GoAds dashboard, and publish responses that you have authorized or configured via Auto-Reply settings.
  • No Human Viewing of Sensitive Tokens: OAuth refresh and access tokens are encrypted using AES-256 and stored in secure key vaults. No GoAds employee or contractor accesses raw authentication credentials.
  • No Sale of Google User Data: We NEVER sell, rent, lease, or monetize data retrieved from Google APIs to third-party data brokers, advertisers, or aggregators.
  • No Unauthorized AI Model Training: Google review content accessed via official APIs is strictly used to generate specific responses for your business and is NEVER used to train public, generalized foundation models.
  • User Revocation: You can disconnect your Google Business Profile at any time from the GoAds App settings or directly through your Google Account Security Dashboard.

4. Meta Platform Policy (Instagram & Facebook) Compliance

GoAds integrates with the official Meta Graph API (including the Instagram Graph API and Facebook Pages API) in strict compliance with the Meta Platform Terms & Developer Policies.

  • We request only approved permissions (e.g., pages_manage_posts, instagram_basic, instagram_content_publish) strictly necessary to publish your daily approved posts.
  • Tokens are renewed securely via official OAuth refresh protocols and revoked immediately upon vendor disconnection.
  • We never spam, scrape user profiles, or post unauthorized content. Every automated post corresponds directly to your verified business vertical.

5. Artificial Intelligence Processing & Vendor Editorial Control

GoAds utilizes advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and generative AI algorithms to streamline your reputation and social presence:

  • Sentiment Detection: Reviews are categorized into Positive (4-5 stars), Neutral (3 stars), or Negative (1-2 stars) to tailor appropriate tones.
  • Vendor Editorial Control: You maintain 100% editorial authority. The Auto-Reply feature can be toggled ON or OFF at any time inside the mobile app or web portal. When OFF, replies are saved as editable drafts awaiting your manual confirmation.
  • Industry-Tailored Creatives: Posts for Doctors emphasize health education and hygiene; Pathology centers focus on diagnostic awareness; Pharmacies focus on medicine guidance; Ambulance providers focus on emergency contact protocols.

6. Data Security & Storage

We implement multi-layered administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data:

  • Encryption in Transit: All communications between the GoAds mobile app, web browsers, and cloud servers are encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS).
  • Encryption at Rest: Database records, authentication tokens, and backup archives are encrypted using military-grade AES-256 encryption.
