Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

How do we use your metrics accounts information
Metrics Watch requires you to connect one or many of your metrics accounts to be able to provide you with our services. Here are some examples of accounts you could connect to Metrics Watch: Google Analytics, Adwords or Facebook Ads. This list is not an exhaustive and will grow over time as we add new integrations.
Once you connect a metrics account of yours to Metrics Watch, we get and store some information like name of the account and list of accounts, subaccounts and properties, views, etc. We do not get any non-essential information. We do not save any information that's not required to run the service.
We do store some metrics as part of alerting and reporting systems that you use. Only the metrics you ask us to monitor with our alert system or report system are stored for caching purpose or comparison (for example with the "Real-time vs 30 minutes ago" interval, we store it so we can do comparison with past data for your specific alert). The stored information can sometimes be used to assist our customers during support tickets or emails. Only their own data might be used during that process. We will never, ever share any of your metrics or confidential information with any third party. We do not look at your metrics unless you ask us to or if required for support tickets.

Metrics Watch will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to give you the service you use Metrics Watch for, comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
This applies to all the data collected by Metrics Watch, including for integration platforms like Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mailchimp and any others listed in the integrations section.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
