Heaviside Google Integrations

Heaviside operates multiple public application surfaces that connect to Google APIs. These application surfaces are managed under the shared Heaviside Software application identity with separate OAuth clients for distinct products.

Current application surfaces

OAuth clients and scopes

Heaviside uses separate OAuth clients for these products so each app can maintain its own redirect URIs and runtime configuration while remaining under the same application identity.

  • HG SEO Commander scopes: openid, email, profile, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage
  • HG PPC scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords
  • Postiz Youtube: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email, https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly, and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload

Why these scopes are used

  • Analytics Readonly: read GA4 properties and reporting data for SEO Commander dashboards and reports
  • Webmasters Readonly: read Search Console properties and performance data for SEO Commander
  • Business Manage: access Google Business Profile locations, insights, posts, reviews, and related management actions triggered by the user inside SEO Commander
  • Adwords: connect Google Ads accounts and access advertising account and campaign data for HG PPC
  • YouTube Readonly: list the channels available to the Google account so the operator can select the correct channel in Postiz
  • YouTube Upload: upload a video and metadata only after the operator configures and submits the post in Postiz
  • OpenID / email / profile: identify the connected Google account

Data handling

Heaviside uses Google user data only to provide the product features requested by the user in the connected application. Access and refresh tokens are retained only when needed to maintain a connection and are restricted to authorized Heaviside systems and personnel. Google user data is not sold, transferred to third parties for their own purposes, used for advertising, or used to train generalized AI or machine learning models.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
