Privacy you can verify

GSC Time Machine is designed for local-first usage so you keep control of Search Console history and export decisions.

Privacy summary

  • Local-first storage by default
  • Limited product analytics (Google Analytics) is used to understand feature usage. We do not use it to collect or sell your SEO report data.
  • No central server database storing your report history
  • Exports and Drive sync remain under user control

How data is handled

  • Accessed: data available in your Search Console reports when you run the extension workflow.
  • Stored: local browser database (IndexedDB) and optional destinations you authorize.
  • Not stored: personal ad profiles, cross-site behavior tracking, or reseller datasets.

Google API disclosure

Any Google API access follows the extension workflow permissions you grant. For legal detail, refer to the full privacy policy page.

Security best practices

  • Create regular exports if local browser data is business-critical.
  • Document who can access shared Drive destinations.
  • Review extension permissions during browser profile audits.
