Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 14, 2026
This privacy policy explains how ZenSEO handles information when you use ZenFast and ZenGrow at https://zenseo.app.
Information we process
- Account information supplied through email, GitHub, or Google sign-in, including your name, email address, and account identifiers.
- Google OAuth access and refresh credentials requested only when you choose to import Search Console properties. These credentials let us list those properties, read their sitemap declarations, and call the Google Indexing API when you enable it.
- Optional Google service-account credentials. These are validated against the selected Search Console property and encrypted before storage using AES-256-GCM.
- Optional IndexNow keys and public key-file locations, along with verification timestamps.
- Connected Search Console properties, permission levels, sitemap URLs, indexing settings, and run history. Run history includes timestamps, trigger, status, URL counts, provider results, and sanitized errors.
- Agency memberships, invitations, client and content-project context, team-authored source material, article briefs, drafts, review decisions, publication receipts, and API-key metadata. API-key secrets are shown once and only a peppered HMAC is stored.
- Search Console performance queries and, when enabled, keyword, competitor, and search-result data returned by DataForSEO.
- Public webpages you explicitly select for source extraction. Extracted text is kept private; public citation metadata may be included with approved articles.
- Prompts, selected source excerpts, and project context sent through Vercel AI Gateway to the configured AI model provider for user-initiated brief and draft generation, plus model usage and cost records.
- Basic product analytics and technical diagnostics, such as page interactions, browser information, IP-derived metadata, and application errors, when analytics is configured.
We do not request payment information for the free beta. We do not sell personal information.
How we use information
We use this information to authenticate you, manage agency access, synchronize Search Console properties, conduct user-requested research and generation, support editorial review and content API access, validate publication receipts, run configured indexing workflows, secure and troubleshoot the service, and understand product usage.
Third-party services
ZenSEO communicates with Google OAuth, Google Search Console, DataForSEO when enabled, Vercel AI Gateway and its configured AI providers, public source websites selected by users, IndexNow endpoints, Convex, Vercel, and optional product analytics providers. The Google Indexing API is reserved for eligible structured-data URLs and is not used for ordinary ZenGrow articles. Third-party handling is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Research, generation, or submission does not guarantee crawling, indexing, traffic, or ranking.
Storage and retention
Service-account credentials are encrypted at rest. OAuth credentials are handled by the authentication service. Private source text, team content, version history, publication receipts, and generation records are retained while the relevant account or project remains active, subject to deletion requests and operational backup cycles. Completed indexing-run history is retained for up to 90 days. Security, legal, and dispute records may be retained longer where required.
Your choices and deletion requests
You can disable an indexing engine, remove a service account, remove an IndexNow key, or revoke Google authorization. To request account or associated data deletion, email akshit@zenseo.app. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Security and changes
No service can guarantee absolute security. We use access controls, authorization checks, encryption for service-account credentials, secret redaction, and limited retention to reduce risk. We may update this policy as the beta changes and will post the revised date here.
