Privacy Policy

Dependable IT Services ("we," "us," or "our") operates an SEO and content platform that helps businesses plan, generate, publish, and measure search-optimized website content. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our platform you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you create an account or request services, such as your name, business name, email address, website address, and the service and location details you enter for content and reporting. We also collect operational data generated as you use the platform, including the articles, topics, keywords, and reports created on your behalf, along with standard technical logs used to keep the service secure and reliable.

Google Search Console & Google Analytics Access

If you choose to connect your Google Search Console or Google Analytics account to our platform, you authorize Dependable IT Services to access your data solely for the purpose of providing SEO analysis, reporting, website performance insights, keyword tracking, and related services.

Our application requests read-only access to:

• Google Search Console data
• Google Analytics reporting data

We do not modify, delete, or publish any information within your Google account.

Data retrieved from Google APIs is used only to provide the services you have requested. We do not sell, rent, or share your Google data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Access to your Google account may be revoked at any time through your Google Account permissions page. Upon revocation, our application will no longer be able to retrieve new data from your account.

We retain only the minimum amount of information necessary to provide reporting and historical analytics. Data is protected using industry-standard security measures and is accessible only to authorized personnel.

Google API Limited Use Disclosure

Storage of Analytics and Search Data

We may store copies of analytics and search performance metrics in order to provide historical reporting, trend analysis, dashboards, and automated recommendations. Stored data remains the property of the client and is deleted upon request or account termination, subject to applicable legal or contractual retention requirements.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the platform, generate and publish content you request, produce SEO and performance reports, provide customer support, and communicate with you about your account and services. We do not use your information for advertising profiling and we do not sell your personal information.

How We Share Information

We share information only as needed to provide the service, for example with infrastructure and subprocessor vendors that host our systems or power content generation, and with the publishing destinations you connect (such as your own website or content management system). We may also disclose information where required by law. We do not share Google user data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

Data Security

We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption of sensitive credentials at rest and access controls that limit data to authorized personnel. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and to promptly address any issues that arise.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the services you have requested. You may request deletion of your data at any time, and we will delete it subject to any legal or contractual retention obligations.

Your Choices

You may disconnect any connected Google account at any time from within the platform or from your Google Account permissions page, and you may contact us to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
