Read-only by design
Zbang Ads reads the Google Ads account you select so it can analyze it. That is the whole job. It never creates, edits, pauses, or deletes campaigns. It never sells your Google Ads data or uses it for unrelated advertising, and it never exposes your connection to other customers.
What we access, and why
When you connect Google, Zbang asks for a short list of scopes. Here is each one and what it is for.
| Scope | What it's for |
|---|---|
openid |
Confirm the identity of the Google account holder during sign-in and connection setup. |
email |
Link the connected Google identity to the correct private workspace, and show the connected account's email. |
profile |
Read basic profile info to verify the connection belongs to the signed-in user. |
Google Ads API (.../auth/adwords) |
List the accounts you can access and read reporting, campaign, asset, conversion, and product-feed data for the audit. Read-only — never used to create, edit, or delete campaigns. |
You're in control
You connect Google yourself, choose the account, and start each audit. Optional AI recommendations are off by default: server-side AI runs only if the operator turns it on. Otherwise your Google Ads analysis stays inside the deployment unless you download the outputs.
Data retention
By default, generated files and workspace artifacts are kept for up to 30 days, then automatically cleaned up. Operators can turn automatic cleanup off entirely — artifacts then persist until they are cleared.
Who processes your data
A small set of subprocessors helps run the audit:
| Subprocessor | Role |
|---|---|
| Identity and the Google Ads API, used when you connect Google and run an audit. | |
| Railway | Application hosting and runtime. |
| OpenAI | Optional AI recommendations — only when AI is enabled. |
| The deployment database | Structured application storage. |
