AdLoop is an open-source, locally-run tool. It has no backend, no servers, and no telemetry. This policy exists because Google requires one for OAuth verification.
When you authorize AdLoop, you grant it permission to:
- Read your Google Analytics (GA4) data — property summaries, reports, realtime data, event configurations
- Modify GA4 settings — required by the Google Analytics Admin API scope, though AdLoop currently uses it only for read operations (listing properties)
- Read and manage your Google Ads account — campaigns, ads, keywords, search terms, performance metrics, and the ability to create/pause/modify campaigns and ads
These permissions are requested through Google's standard OAuth consent flow. You see exactly which permissions are requested before granting them.
- All data stays on your machine. AdLoop runs locally as an MCP server inside your code editor. There is no AdLoop server, cloud service, or hosted backend.
- OAuth tokens are stored locally at
~/.adloop/token.jsonon your filesystem. They are never transmitted anywhere except back to Google's APIs to authenticate requests. - No data is collected, stored, or transmitted to AdLoop's developers or any third party. The only network requests AdLoop makes are directly to Google's APIs (Analytics Data API, Analytics Admin API, Google Ads API) on your behalf.
- No analytics or telemetry. AdLoop does not track usage, collect crash reports, or phone home in any way.
- Audit logs are local. All operations are logged to
~/.adloop/audit.logon your machine for your own review.
AdLoop communicates exclusively with Google's APIs:
- Google Analytics Data API (
analyticsdata.googleapis.com) - Google Analytics Admin API (
analyticsadmin.googleapis.com) - Google Ads API (
googleads.googleapis.com)
No other third-party services are contacted.
You can revoke AdLoop's access to your Google account at any time:
- Go to Google Account → Security → Third-party apps with account access
- Find "AdLoop" and click Remove Access
- Delete
~/.adloop/token.jsonfrom your machine
AdLoop's source code is publicly available at github.com/kLOsk/adloop. You can audit exactly what the tool does with your data.
