What do you do with my data? Is it safe?

We will never utilize your data in any way other than to serve your dashboard. All of the information we gather for your site is firewalled off from us, no employee will ever see it and we never share it with anyone else. Ever. Plus, if you have additional team members on your account, you can control how much of your sensitive data they can see—so your VA can’t get access to your revenue/ranking/rpm numbers if you don’t want them to see.
