AI Transparency Disclosure
Last updated: April 12, 2026
ahmeego.com is an AI-powered platform that uses multiple artificial intelligence models to analyze, manage, and optimize Google Ads accounts. We believe in full transparency about which AI technologies we use, what data is sent to each provider, how it is processed, and how long it is retained.
This page fulfills disclosure requirements for the Google Cloud OAuth verification process and the Google Ads API Terms of Service.
1. AI Models Used
Our platform integrates with the following AI providers. Each model serves a specific function within the platform. No single provider receives all user data.
Claude (claude-sonnet-4-20250514)
Role: Primary reasoning engine. Powers the main Google Ads agent ("Buddy") for campaign analysis, optimization recommendations, account auditing, and natural-language interaction with Google Ads data.
Data sent: User's natural language instructions, Google Ads account structure data (campaign names, ad group names, keywords, bids, budgets, performance metrics), conversation history within the session.
Data NOT sent: Google OAuth tokens, billing/payment information, personal identity data beyond what appears in ad account names.
Retention: Anthropic's API has a zero-retention policy for API usage — prompts and responses are not stored or used for model training.
Gemini (gemini-2.5-pro)
Role: Sub-agent for research tasks, competitive analysis, and content generation. Used by the Research sub-agent and the Writing Agent tool.
Data sent: Research queries derived from campaign data, industry context, keyword lists, and content generation prompts.
Data NOT sent: Raw Google Ads API responses, OAuth tokens, account-level performance data.
Retention: Google Cloud AI API data is processed under Google Cloud's Data Processing Addendum. API inputs are not used to improve Google's general models.
GPT (gpt-4.1, gpt-5.4-pro)
Role: Alternative reasoning engine for specific tasks. Used for content generation, ad copy suggestions, and as a fallback model when requested by the user.
Data sent: Task-specific prompts, ad copy context, keyword suggestions, and structured campaign data relevant to the specific task.
Data NOT sent: Full account data dumps, OAuth tokens, billing information.
Retention: OpenAI API has a zero-retention policy for API usage by default — data sent via API is not used for training and is retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, then deleted.
2. Google Ads API Usage
ahmeego.com accesses the Google Ads API to read and write data in your Google Ads account on your behalf.
OAuth Scopes Requested
| Scope | Purpose |
|---|---|
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords |
Read and manage your Google Ads campaigns, ad groups, keywords, bids, budgets, and performance data |
openid |
Verify your identity for sign-in |
email |
Access your email address for account identification |
profile |
Access your basic profile (name, photo) for personalization |
What We Do With Your Google Ads Data
- Read operations: Retrieve campaign structure, performance metrics, keyword data, ad copy, bidding strategies, and account settings to provide analysis and recommendations.
- Write operations: Execute changes you explicitly approve — adjusting bids, pausing/enabling campaigns, updating budgets, adding keywords, and creating ad copy. All write operations require your confirmation through our safety protocol.
- Analysis: Performance data is sent to AI models (as described above) to generate optimization recommendations, audit findings, and strategic insights.
What We Do NOT Do
- We do not sell, share, or transfer your Google Ads data to third parties for advertising, marketing, or data brokering purposes.
- We do not store your Google Ads data permanently. Session data is processed in real-time and not persisted beyond the active session, except for anonymized, aggregated performance benchmarks.
- We do not use your Google Ads data to train AI models.
- We do not access your Google Ads billing or payment methods.
3. Data Flow Architecture
When you interact with the platform, data flows as follows:
- Authentication: You sign in with Google OAuth. Your access token is stored in an encrypted, HTTP-only session cookie and never sent to AI providers.
- User request: You type a natural language instruction (e.g., "Audit my search campaigns").
- AI reasoning: Your instruction is sent to the primary AI model (Claude) along with relevant account context. The AI determines which Google Ads API calls to make.
- API execution: Our backend calls the Google Ads API using your OAuth token. Results are returned to the AI for analysis.
- Response: The AI generates a human-readable response with findings, recommendations, or confirmation of actions taken.
- Session end: When you close the session, conversation data and cached account data are discarded.
4. Data Retention Summary
| Data Type | Retention |
|---|---|
| Google OAuth tokens | Session only (encrypted cookie). Revocable at Google Account Permissions. |
| Google Ads account data | Session only. Not persisted. |
| Conversation history | Session only. Not persisted after session ends. |
| AI provider logs | Per provider policy (see above). Zero-retention for Anthropic; up to 30 days for OpenAI abuse monitoring; Google Cloud DPA terms apply. |
| Credits / billing data | Retained for the duration of your account for billing and service purposes. See Privacy Policy. |
| Analytics (GA4) | Anonymized usage data retained per Privacy Policy. |
