Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how ThinkSocial ("we", "us", or "our"), an educational initiative operated by Talent Pot, collects, uses, processes, and protects your information when you visit our website at thinksocial.in, interact with our services, or authorize access through our ThinkSocial Marketing API integrations.
1. Information We Collect
ThinkSocial collects and processes two primary categories of information:
A. Information Submitted Directly Through Website Forms
When you fill out consultation forms, course application forms, newsletter signups, or contact forms on our website, we may collect:
- Full name and contact details (email address, phone number)
- Professional profile (student, working marketer, agency professional, business owner)
- Course interests and educational background
- Inquiries or messages submitted to our team
B. Data Accessed Through Authorized Third-Party Integrations (Google OAuth & MarTech APIs)
Through the ThinkSocial Marketing API, users, account administrators, or authorized instructors may explicitly grant ThinkSocial permissions to access third-party marketing and analytics platforms.
Google Ads & Analytics Account Access Specifics
For Google platform integrations (Google Ads API, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console), ThinkSocial may request authorized access to read:
- Google Ads account metadata, structure, campaigns, ad groups, and ads
- Keyword lists, match types, search-term performance reports, and Quality Scores
- Conversion tracking setup, impression share, impression loss metrics, and cost data
- GA4 property configurations, event dimensions, metrics, and conversion paths
- Search Console performance queries, clicks, impressions, CTR, and landing page URLs
2. How We Use Authorized Data
Data collected directly or accessed via authorized OAuth APIs is strictly used for:
- Educational Demonstrations: Generating anonymized or real-time diagnostic reports to teach campaign optimization, search term analysis, and conversion tracking workflows.
- Reporting & Analytics: Synthesizing advertising performance, calculating return on ad spend (ROAS), and identifying performance bottlenecks.
- Internal Marketing Workflows: Supporting authorized audit, management, and technical experimentation within the ThinkSocial Marketing Lab.
- Communication: Responding to advisor consultation requests and sending program updates.
3. Data Protection, Security & Token Storage
We employ industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard user data and API credentials.
- OAuth Credentials Storage: OAuth access and refresh tokens are stored server-side in restricted, non-public storage protected by operating-system file permissions and access controls. Tokens are never intentionally exposed in public web directories, client-side code, or API responses.
- Transport Security: all data transmissions occur over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections
4. Non-Sale of Google User Data
ThinkSocial explicitly commits that Google user data, advertising data, and OAuth token information are not sold, rented, leased, or traded to any third parties for monetary consideration or commercial exploitation outside our authorized educational service scope.
5. Account Authorization & Revoking Access
Access to Google Ads, GA4, or other advertising accounts via the ThinkSocial Marketing API requires explicit, affirmative consent by an authorized account owner or administrator.
You retain total control over your connected accounts and can revoke access at any time. To revoke ThinkSocial’s access to your Google Account:
- Visit your Google Account Security Dashboard at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Locate ThinkSocial Marketing API under "Third-party apps with account access".
- Click Remove Access. Upon revocation, ThinkSocial's refresh token will immediately become invalid.
6. Data Retention & Deletion Requests
Form submission details are retained for as long as necessary to fulfill student support and advisory inquiries. Marketing performance telemetry accessed via API is cached temporarily for active diagnostic sessions and reporting workflows.
You may request permanent deletion of your contact details or cached integration data at any time by emailing our data privacy coordinator.
