Security by design, control by you
Minimum permissions. Maximum transparency. Your data, your rules.
Built from the ground up with your security in mind.
We request only the permissions we need and give you full control over your data at every step.
Read-only by default
BidHelm starts in read-only mode. We can analyze your campaigns but can't change anything until you explicitly enable write access.
Minimum OAuth scopes
We only request the permissions we need — nothing more. No access to billing, payment methods, or personal data.
Complete audit trail
Every action logged with timestamps, reasoning, and before/after data. Export anytime for your records or compliance.
Revoke anytime
Your Google account, your control. Revoke BidHelm's access instantly from Google Account settings — no support needed.
Exactly what permissions we request and why.
