What data does Tag & Analytics Audit access?

We request only analytics.readonly. No access to Gmail, Drive, Ads, Search Console, or any other Google service.

The analytics.readonly scope

When you connect your Google account, Tag & Analytics Audit requests the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly OAuth scope. This scope grants read access to the Google Analytics APIs for properties your account can access. Specifically, it permits:

  • Reading GA4 property configuration via the Google Analytics Admin API.
  • Querying GA4 reports and aggregated metric data via the GA4 Data API.
  • Listing the GA4 accounts and properties your user has access to.

What analytics.readonly explicitly cannot do

The analytics.readonly scope is read-only by design. It is technically impossible for Tag & Analytics Audit to use this scope to:

  • Modify your GA4 property configuration, settings, or custom dimensions.
  • Create, update, or delete any GA4 resources.
  • Access raw user-level data. only aggregated reporting data is available via the Data API.

What Tag & Analytics Audit cannot access at all

Tag & Analytics Audit does not request and has zero access to:

  • Gmail or Google Workspace email.
  • Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
  • Google Ads account data.
  • Google Search Console.
  • YouTube, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service.
  • Other users' Google accounts. only the account that authenticated.

Google's OAuth system enforces these boundaries at the API level. it's not a matter of trust or policy alone, but technical enforcement.

Future Google access

The current self-serve flow requests only analytics.readonly. If we ever introduce a separate Google workflow that needs additional access, we will disclose that step separately before you connect it.
