Google Business Profile Management
With our clients’ permission, Access Publishing uses Google’s Business Profile APIs to publish posts to their Google Business Profiles. A client grants access by signing in with their own Google account and approving our app on Google’s consent screen.
What we access: the email address of the connected Google account; the business name, address, and listing details of the profiles that account manages; and the posts we publish on the client’s behalf.
How we use it: only to publish scheduled posts the client has approved and to confirm each post goes to the correct business. We do not use this data for advertising, do not sell it, and do not share it with third parties.
How we store it: access credentials are stored securely in Access Publishing’s Google account and are used only by our posting tool. Only authorized Access Publishing staff can view them.
Limited Use: Access Publishing’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Removing access: clients can disconnect our access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, or by contacting us. When access is removed or our engagement ends, we delete the stored credentials.
Sharing
We share information outside Access Publishing only when needed to fulfill your request (for example, with a vendor that helps deliver a service you ordered) or when required by law. We never sell or rent personal information.
