Privacy and data

What DeskSEO stores

• Account: your email address, an optional display name, your plan, your balance and its ledger (top-ups, payments, refunds).
• Sites you add: the domain and the result of every check (score, issue codes, public technical measurements). Full detail is kept for 120 days; scores and issue codes are kept longer to draw history.
• Search Console: daily totals, queries and pages — only after you granted access and verified the site. Kept for up to 16 months. Removing a site deletes this data.
• AI visibility: your brand, your questions and the AI's answers.
• Free checker: results of public checks are cached for 30 days. Your IP address is stored only as a salted hash, for two days, to enforce rate limits.
• Payments: PayPal order and capture IDs and amounts. DeskSEO never sees your card or PayPal password.

What DeskSEO does not do

• It does not sell or share your Search Console data.
• It does not use your AI visibility questions to write content for anyone else.
• It does not store passwords: sign-in uses one-time email links.

Cookies

One sign-in cookie (60 days) and one short session cookie for form security. No advertising or tracking cookies.

Remove access, delete data

Remove the service account email in Search Console → Settings → Users and permissions. On a site page, Stop tracking deletes the Search Console data fetched for it.
