Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Digital Turn AI SEO is a Shopify SEO management application operated by Digital Turn. This policy explains how the application handles information when a merchant installs or uses the service, including information received through Google Search Console and Shopify.
Privacy contact: info@thedigitalturn.com.
2. Google Search Console data we process
When a merchant chooses to connect Google Search Console, Digital Turn AI SEO requests the read-only scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly. Depending on the connected property and features the merchant uses, the app may process:
- Search Console properties available to the authorized Google account and the property selected for the current store;
- search analytics such as queries, pages, clicks, impressions, CTR and average position;
- URL Inspection results such as index status, mobile-usability and rich-result information returned by the Search Console API;
- OAuth access and refresh credentials required to keep the merchant-authorized connection working.
3. Other store and app data
The service may also process store identity, eligible Shopify storefront content and SEO fields, crawl results, performance measurements, app settings, action history and other information necessary to provide the SEO features selected by the merchant. The standard SEO scope does not request Shopify customer, order, payment or fulfillment data.
4. How Google user data is used
Google Search Console data is used only to provide and improve merchant-facing SEO functionality for the connected store. This includes search-performance reporting, indexing diagnostics, keyword and page opportunities, content-gap evidence, SEO prioritization and recommendations requested by the merchant.
Digital Turn AI SEO does not sell or rent Google user data, does not use Google user data for advertising, and does not share Google user data with advertisers or data brokers.
5. AI-assisted features and service providers
Basic storefront crawling and Search Console synchronization do not require AI. If a merchant explicitly approves an AI-assisted analysis or generation action, selected store evidence relevant to that requested action may be processed by our AI service provider to generate the requested output. Google user data is not shared for unrelated advertising or profiling purposes.
We use service providers that support operation of the application, including cloud hosting and database infrastructure. They process applicable information only as needed to provide those services to Digital Turn and the merchant.
6. Storage and security
OAuth credentials stored by Digital Turn AI SEO are encrypted before database storage. The application uses HTTPS, server-side authorization checks, permission controls and other technical measures designed to protect connected-store data.
7. Retention, disconnect and deletion
Search Console metrics and URL inspection results may be retained so the merchant can continue to view saved SEO evidence without repeatedly running the same work. An authorized merchant can use Connections → Disconnect Google. The app then removes the Google integration credentials, clears synchronized Search Console metrics and URL inspection data for that store, and removes the selected Search Console property from the app.
A merchant can also revoke Digital Turn AI SEO directly from their Google Account permissions. For broader account or store-data deletion requests, contact info@thedigitalturn.com. Shopify privacy and redaction requests are processed through the app's authenticated Shopify data-handling workflow.
8. Google API Services User Data Policy
Digital Turn AI SEO's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
9. Your choices
- Do not connect Google Search Console if you do not want the app to access Search Console data.
- Disconnect Google at any time from the app's Connections section.
- Revoke access from your Google Account permissions.
- Contact us to ask questions about data associated with your store.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the service, legal requirements or data practices change. The current version will remain available at this URL and the "Last updated" date will be revised.
