Otto (“Otto,” “we,” “us”) provides an AI solutions to help you manage Google Ads. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices. If you have questions, email suyash@hireotto.com.
1) Scope and Quick Summary
This policy covers (a) Website Data collected on hireotto.com and related pages, and (b) Google user data we access via Google APIs when you connect your Google Ads account to Otto.
We treat Google user data under Google’s API Services User Data Policy (including Limited Use). Those stricter rules are spelled out in Section 4.
2) Definitions
“Website Data”: info you provide on our site (e.g., email) and technical data (e.g., logs, cookies, usage analytics).
“Google user data”: data from Google APIs when you authorize Otto (e.g., via the Google Ads scope).
“Process/processing”: collect, store, use, share, or otherwise handle data.
3) Data We Collect
A. Website Data
Identifiers & contact: name, email, messages you send us.
Technical/usage: IP address, device/browser info, pages viewed, referring URLs, timestamps, and similar diagnostics.
Cookies: to operate the site and understand usage; you can control cookies in your browser settings.
B. Google user data (via Google APIs)
Scopes: When you connect Google Ads, Otto requests https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords to access your Google Ads account(s) for features you use.
Categories:
OAuth tokens and minimal account identifiers (e.g., selected customer IDs, descriptive names) needed to operate features you choose.
Google Ads data you explicitly ask Otto to use (e.g., reporting metrics and entities such as campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ads) to generate answers, reports, or actions you request. We do not store this.
We do not collect your Google password.
We do not sell Google user data, and we do not use Google user data for advertising or retargeting.
4) How We Use Google User Data (Limited Use)
Otto’s use of Google user data complies with Google’s API Services User Data Policy, including Limited Use:
Purpose-limited: We only use Google user data to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent in Otto’s interface (e.g., showing reports you ask for, recommending changes, creating/updating campaigns when you request it).
No ads / no sale: We do not sell Google user data or use it for advertising, retargeting, or interest-based profiling.
No transfers except:
to provide or improve those user-facing features with your consent;
for security purposes (e.g., investigating abuse or bugs);
to comply with law; or
as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets only after obtaining your explicit prior consent.
No human access to Google user data unless:
you give affirmative consent for a specific support case;
it’s necessary for security (e.g., abuse/bug investigations);
it’s required by law; or
the data (including derivations) is aggregated/de-identified and used for internal operations in line with applicable privacy laws.
Personnel & providers: We require employees, contractors, agents, and service providers to comply with these obligations.
5) How We Use Website Data
We use Website Data to:
provide, maintain, and secure the site;
answer inquiries and send service communications;
analyze site performance and improve our content;
optional marketing updates only if you opt in (unsubscribe anytime).
Note: The above marketing uses do not apply to Google user data covered by Section 4.
6) Sharing and Transfers
Website Data may be shared with service providers (e.g., hosting, storage, analytics, error logging) under contracts requiring confidentiality and security. If we undergo a business transaction (e.g., merger or acquisition), Website Data may be transferred as permitted by law.
Google user data is not transferred except as allowed in Section 4 (“No transfers except…”). For any merger/acquisition scenario involving Google user data, we will seek your explicit prior consent before any transfer.
7) Storage, Security, and Location
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data (e.g., encryption at rest for tokens, access control on a least-privilege basis, audit/logging).
Data may be processed on infrastructure operated by reputable cloud providers and may be stored or processed in locations outside your state or country, subject to appropriate safeguards.
8) Retention & Deletion
We retain Google user data only as long as needed to operate the features you use.
You can disconnect Otto’s access at any time from within Otto (if available) or via your Google Account’s Security settings.
