3. Google API Services — Data Usage
Dealer Sales LLC uses Google API Services to provide advertising management features on behalf of our dealer customers. Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Google Ads API
When a dealer connects their Google Ads account via OAuth, we access the Google Ads API (adwords scope) to:
- Create and manage Performance Max campaigns and Vehicle Listing Ads on the dealer’s behalf
- Create and manage campaign budgets and bidding strategies
- Upload vehicle inventory as asset groups and listings
- Create conversion actions to track lead form submissions and phone calls
- Retrieve campaign performance metrics (impressions, clicks, cost, conversions) for reporting
- Manage dealer sub-accounts within our Manager Account (MCC) structure
Google Ads data is used exclusively to provide the DealerDrive service to the connected dealer. We do not share or sell Google Ads data to third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.
Google Analytics Data API
When a dealer connects their Google Analytics 4 property (analytics.readonly scope), we retrieve website traffic, session, conversion, and audience metrics to display within their DealerDrive dashboard only. This data is not shared with other dealers or third parties.
Google Business Profile API
We access Google Business Profile data to help dealers manage their listing, publish posts, and respond to reviews through our platform. This data is not shared with any third party.
OAuth token security: All Google OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM before database storage and transmitted exclusively over TLS. Dealers may revoke our access at any time through their Google Account security settings or through DealerDrive Settings → Integrations.
