Connecting to Google Applications via the WebCEO service

WebCEO provides several tools that allow users to connect with certain Google services, such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Google Business Profile. WebCEO's Google Ads tool pulls data from Google Analytics so your Google Ads and Google Analytics accounts should be connected. Different WebCEO tools may ask for different permissions, so it is important to review the requested permissions before allowing access.

In order for these WebCEO applications to work properly, a user must begin the process by clicking the 'Connect' button. The user will be taken to a secure page on Google.com via a pop-up window or tab, where the permissions the tool requires will be displayed. If the user consents to grant WebCEO permission, Google will issue a token that our tools can use to access the requested information.

After receiving permission, WebCEO can, within the scope of the approved access, request information about, or data from, any profile the user has access to. For these tools, WebCEO uses a short-lived access token to request user Google Analytics, Search Console or Google Business Profile data.

The information that we request is used by our tools in calculations and visualizations about your selected data. We store the requested data up to 30 days to build reports and provide additional analytics data in various WebCEO tools. At the end of the specified period we delete the data and make a new request. If a user revokes access to the Google Analytics, Search Console or Google Business Profile data, we delete all previously requested data.

By default, our tools are able to see the email address of the user’s account. Our tools do not ever see or store a user’s password, as that is entered on a secure pop-up window or tab on Google’s website and not visible to us. At any time the user can revoke access to their Google Analytics, Search Console or Google Business Profile data in the WebCEO settings.

We shall not disclose, sell or rent your Google Analytics, Search Console or Google Business Profile data to any third party. We shall share your Google Analytics, Search Console or Google Business Profile data with the third parties only if you instruct us to and only if such information is required to provide you with specific services.

WebCEO provides customers with the ability to connect to Google Data Studio. Google's Privacy Policy applies to the use of Google Services and Data. Google Privacy Policy

Connecting to Facebook Application via the WebCEO service

WebCEO provides the Facebook Insights tool that grants the ability for users to get limited analytics for their page.

In order for this WebCEO application to work properly, a user must begin the process by clicking the 'Connect to Facebook account' button. The user will be taken to a secure page on Facebook.com via a pop-up window or tab, where the permissions the tool requires will be displayed. If the user consents to grant WebCEO permission, Facebook will issue a token that our tools can use to access the requested information.

After receiving permission, WebCEO can, within the scope of the approved access, request information about, or data from, any page the user grants access to. For this tool, WebCEO uses a short-lived access token to request the user's page Insights data.

The information that we request is used by our tools in calculations and visualizations about your selected data. We store the requested data for up to 90 days to build reports and provide additional analytics data in various WebCEO's tools. At the end of the specified period, we delete the data and make a new request if a user visits the service or the Facebook Insights tool. If a token expires or a user revokes access to their Facebook page, we delete all previously requested data.

By default, our tool is able to see the email address of the user’s account. Our tool does not ever see or store a user’s password, as that is entered on a secure pop-up window or tab on Facebook’s website and not visible to us. At any time the user can revoke access to their Facebook page data in the WebCEO settings.

We shall not disclose, sell or rent your Facebook data to any third party. We shall share your Facebook data with the third parties only if you instruct us to and only if such information is required to provide you with specific services.
