Advertising Platform Data
BlueTone Media may use advertising platform APIs, including Meta Marketing API and Google Ads API, for internal reporting, accounting reconciliation, and client campaign cost tracking.
When authorized, our internal tools may access advertising account reporting data such as ad account IDs, campaign names, spend, impressions, clicks, dates, and related performance metrics. We use this information only to reconcile advertising costs, prepare internal reports, and allocate ad spend to the correct client projects.
We do not use this data to create, edit, or manage advertisements through the tool. We do not sell, rent, or share advertising platform data with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
Access to this data is limited to authorized BlueTone Media personnel. API credentials and tokens are stored securely on our server and are not exposed publicly.
You may request deletion or correction of data associated with your account by contacting BlueTone Media.
For Google information accessed by BlueTone Analytics Audit, this app-specific section governs its use and handling. General descriptions of personalized content, advertising, promotional email or advertising-platform reporting elsewhere in this policy do not describe this app’s use of that Google information.
BlueTone Analytics Audit is operated by BlueTone Media at inviteaudit.bluetonemedia.com. It helps you select Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Ads resources to share with BlueTone. This section covers this access-setup app, rather than every BlueTone service or reporting tool.
Google sign-in identifies your account and authorizes the app to list resources and carry out the sharing actions you choose. Signing in by itself does not add BlueTone as a user of those resources.
The app accesses your Google account email, authorization credentials, resource names and identifiers, and existing user-access or invitation information. It uses these details to display available resources, check BlueTone’s access and complete your selected sharing action.
Analytics read and user-management permissions support property listing and permission checks or changes. Tag Manager read and user-management permissions support account and container listing and permission checks or changes. Google Ads API access supports account listing, access and invitation checks, and sending an invitation. The app does not retrieve Analytics audience or traffic reports, Tag Manager tag contents, or Ads campaign-performance reports for these features.
BlueTone Analytics Audit uses and shares data obtained through Google APIs in accordance with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Google Analytics 4: The sharing action adds dylan@bluetonemedia.com as an Editor on the selected property.
Google Tag Manager: The sharing action adds dylan@bluetonemedia.com as a User with Edit permission for every container in the selected Tag Manager account.
Google Ads: The sharing action sends dylan@bluetonemedia.com an invitation for Standard access. Sending the invitation does not itself mean the recipient has accepted it.
These resource permissions are separate from signing in to the app. They can continue after the app session ends and remain until removed in the relevant Google product.
Before sign-in, the app asks for your agreement to operational emails and to the named BlueTone staff reading the disclosed details to assist with your access setup. The agreement is not preselected. With your agreement, it sends updates for these five events:
1. Sign-in started: jimmy@bluetonemedia.com and brittany@bluetonemedia.com.
2. Google sign-in completed: Jimmy, Brittany and dylan@bluetonemedia.com.
3. Analytics access granted: Jimmy, Brittany and Dylan.
4. Tag Manager access granted: Jimmy, Brittany and Dylan.
5. Ads invitation sent: Jimmy, Brittany and Dylan.
Elastic Email delivers these messages. They include event time, IP address, approximate location, browser and device details (user-agent), and referring-page information when available. After Google sign-in, messages also include your Google account email. Sharing updates include the selected resource name and identifier. These operational updates are separate from Google’s own access invitations or notices.
The app may send your IP address to ipwho.is for country filtering and approximate location lookup. Country information supports the app’s US-only access rule, and location details can appear in operational emails. Lookup results use a 24-hour application-cache window; that window is not an erasure deadline for provider records or other copies.
Connections to the public app and Google APIs use HTTPS. Google authorization credentials are held in a private, authenticated Redis session store on the app server. Your browser holds an opaque Secure, HttpOnly session cookie, rather than those credentials. The session expires one hour after its last update.
The app validates a random state value when Google returns you to the app and changes its session identifier after successful sign-in. These controls help protect the sign-in flow against forged callbacks and session fixation. App features that access Google resources require a signed-in app session. The browser session cookie uses SameSite=Lax in addition to Secure and HttpOnly. Google credentials remain in server-side sessions; the app does not put them in browser cookie contents. The application requires its configured Redis session store and does not fall back to storing credentials in browser cookies if that store is unavailable.
The app and hosting server also create operational and request logs. The one-hour session expiry does not delete notification copies, logs or backups. Those records have separate retention periods and handling, including provider-held copies. No app-wide deletion deadline is established by the one-hour session expiry or the location-cache window.
Remove the app’s authorization through your Google Account settings. Remove BlueTone’s resource permissions separately in Analytics, Tag Manager or Ads. Session expiry, signing in again, or deletion of app records does not automatically revoke Google authorization or remove resource permissions.
You may send privacy questions and requests about app-related personal information to BlueTone’s published privacy contact, support@bluetonemedia.com. The app also offers that address as an alternative for arranging access directly.
