savvasnicholas-ads.

savvasnicholas-ads is a command line tool I built for myself. It syncs Google Ads campaign definitions, which I keep as files in a private source repository, to my own Google Ads manager account through the Google Ads API. Running it makes my Google Ads account match what the repository declares.

Who uses it.

Only me, Savvas Nicholas. I am the developer of the tool and the owner of the Google Ads account it writes to, and I am the only person who authorises it. It is a single user internal tool. There are no third party users, no sign ups, and no accounts.

Which Google API it uses.

The Google Ads API, and nothing else. It reads and writes the campaign data in my own Google Ads account. It does not request access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, contacts, or any other Google user data.

Why it needs OAuth access.

The Google Ads API only accepts calls made on behalf of a Google account that has access to the Ads account. Google OAuth is how I grant the script that access as myself, so that it can manage my own Google Ads account on my behalf. The tokens it receives are stored locally on my own machine and are not sent to any third party or to any server operated by this website.

Privacy.

The privacy policy sets out exactly what this tool and this website do with data, including how the tool meets the Google API Services User Data Policy and its Limited Use requirements.
