Google OAuth & API Transparency Hub
PNX integrates with Google Search Console, GA4, Drive, Sheets, Blogger and the YouTube Data API to power user-facing SEO features. This page is a full, plain-English breakdown of what we ask for, why, and how your data is handled — for both PNX users and Google's verification team.
Minimum scopes
We request the narrowest scope that makes the feature work.
No human reads
Humans never read your Google data except with explicit consent or for legal/security reasons.
No retention
Google API responses are processed ephemerally — nothing is stored on our servers.
Requested scopes & user benefit
| Google API | Scope | What we access | Why (user benefit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search Console | webmasters.readonly | Read aggregated search performance (queries, impressions, clicks, position). | Power SEO audits and ranking reports inside PNX. |
| Google Analytics 4 | analytics.readonly | Read aggregated GA4 metrics (sessions, pageviews, conversions). | Correlate SEO work with real engagement. |
| Google Drive | drive.file | Access only files you pick via the Google file picker. | Import source content; export PNX reports. |
| Google Sheets | spreadsheets | Read/write the sheets you select. | Import keyword lists; export keyword clusters & SERP results. |
| Blogger | blogger | Read your posts and (with consent) publish drafts. | On-page SEO analysis and one-click publishing. |
| YouTube Data v3 | youtube.readonly | Read public video metadata, your channel info and search results. | YouTube SEO analysis & keyword research. |
Limited Use compliance
PNX's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, do not sell it, and do not allow humans to read it except (a) with your explicit consent, (b) for security investigations, or (c) to comply with applicable law.
Just-in-time disclosures
When you launch a Google-powered tool inside PNX (e.g. "Run Search Console audit"), a contextual notice appears before the Google consent screen: "PNX needs read-only access to your Search Console to analyze your rankings. We never store your data." You always click through Google's own consent screen — we never bypass it.
Demo video
A full demonstration video — showing the OAuth grant flow, every scope on the Google consent screen, and each Google-powered feature in action — is published as an unlisted YouTube video for Google's verification team.
