How We Use the Google Ads API

Runway Studios accesses the Google Ads API strictly for performance reporting and analytics on behalf of our clients.

Purpose of API Access

Our platform uses the Google Ads API to retrieve advertising performance metrics for our client accounts. This data powers our analytics dashboard, AI-generated insights, and cross-channel reporting features. We do not use the API to create, modify, or delete any campaigns or ads.

  • Read campaign, ad group, and ad performance metrics (impressions, clicks, spend, conversions)
  • Read keyword performance including Quality Score, match types, and search terms
  • Read geographic performance reports (city, region, country breakdown)
  • Read device performance reports (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • Read time-of-day and day-of-week performance segmentation
  • Read auction insights reports (impression share, overlap rate, competitor data)
  • List accessible customer accounts for multi-account agency management

Data Handling & Security

All Google Ads data retrieved through the API is:

  • Stored encrypted in a PostgreSQL database on Google Cloud SQL (asia-south1 / Mumbai region)
  • Accessible only to the workspace owner and authorised team members
  • Never sold, shared, or transferred to any third party
  • Retained only as long as the client account is active
  • Deletable on request via the account deletion workflow

OAuth2 & Token Management

Users connect their Google Ads account via a secure OAuth2 one-click flow. Runway Studios stores encrypted refresh tokens that are automatically renewed. Access can be revoked at any time from your Google Account permissions page, which will immediately stop all data access from our platform.

Compliance with Google API Services User Data Policy

Runway Studios' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google user data exclusively to provide and improve our analytics service — never for advertising, resale, or any purpose unrelated to the service you signed up for.
