Privacy Policy

Last updated October 22, 2026

TrafficBud is operated by Archieboy Holdings, LLC. This policy explains what information TrafficBud collects, why, who receives it, how long it is kept, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

  • Account details: your name, email address, and password (stored only as a secure hash) or your Google sign-in.
  • Websites and reports: the web addresses you submit and the audit, sitemap, mobile, spelling, schema and other reports TrafficBud generates for them.
  • Google Search Console data: if you choose to connect it, read-only performance data for sites you have verified with Google.
  • Payments: subscription and purchase records. Stripe processes card payments; TrafficBud stores transaction and subscription identifiers, not card numbers.
  • Managed-service intake: the site, platform, safe access preference and priorities you provide. Do not submit passwords or secret keys through an intake form.
  • Usage and technical data: account activity, the IP address and country recorded when you register, and how you arrived at the site (such as the referring page or campaign).
  • AI-assistant connections: if you connect ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant, the requests it sends to TrafficBud and a record of the connection (see the section below).

How we use it

To provide the service: run the checks you request, save and show your reports, manage your account and subscription, send service and account emails, prevent abuse, and understand and improve how TrafficBud is used. We do not sell your personal information.

Who receives it

  • Service providers: Amazon Web Services (hosting and email delivery), Stripe (payments), Cloudflare Turnstile (abuse prevention on the public audit), and Google (sign-in, and the Search Console and Keyword Planner data you request).
  • AI providers: some checks send page text or web addresses to OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter to produce results such as the grammar and style pass.
  • Analytics and advertising: our web pages use Google Analytics, Google Ads and the Meta pixel to measure visits and the performance of our advertising.
  • AI assistants you connect: results go back to the assistant you connected.
  • Legal: where required by law or to protect the service and its users.

Website analysis

The audit uses bounded, read-only requests to public website pages. TrafficBud does not use a submitted address to access private networks or password-protected content.

Google Search Console

If you choose to connect Google Search Console, TrafficBud requests read-only access to verified-site performance data. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. You can disconnect the integration from TrafficBud, which revokes and removes the stored connection.

ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants

You can connect TrafficBud to ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol. You approve each connection on a TrafficBud sign-in screen, and it acts only for your TrafficBud account.

What TrafficBud receives: only the requests the assistant sends to TrafficBud's tools, such as the web address to check, a schema type or seed keywords. TrafficBud does not receive your conversation, your chat history or your assistant account details.

What it is used for: running the check you asked for and returning the result to the assistant. Results are saved to your TrafficBud account like any other report, and the check counts toward your monthly allowance. We also record when each connection was made and how many requests it has sent, so we can show them to you and measure how the feature is used.

Who else sees it: the result goes back to the assistant you connected, whose provider handles your conversation under its own privacy policy.

How long it is kept, and your controls: the connection is stored as hashed tokens. Access tokens expire after a day and renewal tokens after 90 days without use. You can disconnect at any time from API keys & connections or from the assistant's own settings, which stops it working immediately.

How long we keep it

We keep your account details, reports and connection records while your account is open. When you ask us to delete your account, we delete it and its data, except records we must keep for security, accounting or legal reasons.

Your choices

You can disconnect Google Search Console and any AI assistant at any time from your dashboard, and unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any email. For access, correction or deletion of your information, contact TrafficBud support.
