Terms of Service

Our terms and conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using TrustSEO ("the Service"), a brand operated by Hovers.ai, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.

TrustSEO provides verified Google Search Console (GSC) insights, SEO recommendations, and related analytics. By using our Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

2. Description of Service

TrustSEO provides:

  • Verified Google Search Console data visualization
  • SEO leaderboard rankings based on verified GSC metrics
  • League-based categorization (Rising, Growth, Authority)
  • Proprietary SEO metrics including TrustSEO Score, Momentum, Efficiency, and Footprint
  • Real-time data retrieval from connected GSC accounts

The Service retrieves authorized Google Search Console data in real time to answer requests and generate recommendations. We do not store your Google Search Console data.

3. User Accounts and Registration

To use certain features of the Service, you must:

  • Create an account with accurate and complete information
  • Maintain and update your account information
  • Connect your Google Search Console account via OAuth 2.0
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Google Search Console Integration

By connecting your Google Search Console account:

  • You grant TrustSEO permission to access your GSC data
  • You authorize us to retrieve and display your verified SEO metrics
  • If you opt into a public leaderboard, you understand that limited derived or aggregated metrics may be displayed
  • You can disconnect your GSC account at any time from your settings

We use OAuth 2.0 authentication and only access data you explicitly authorize. TrustSEO requests read-only Google Search Console access and cannot modify your properties, settings, or data. OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. We do not store your Google Search Console data; it is fetched from Google in real time when needed. We do not store your Google account password.

5. MCP Tool Connections

TrustSEO may be connected to ChatGPT, Claude, or another compatible application through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). By connecting an MCP client, you authorize TrustSEO to respond to supported tool requests for your authenticated account and the Google Search Console properties you explicitly select.

  • MCP tools are limited to site discovery, Google Search Console analytics, SEO analysis, and recommendations
  • MCP tools are read-only with respect to Google Search Console and cannot modify, publish, or delete GSC data
  • OAuth connections use consent and PKCE; API-key connections require an authorized TrustSEO credential
  • Google Search Console information used by MCP tools is fetched in real time and is not stored by TrustSEO
  • TrustSEO may record limited operational telemetry for security, reliability, and abuse prevention, but does not record bearer tokens or MCP tool arguments in operational logs

You are responsible for reviewing the permissions and privacy practices of any MCP client you connect. You may disconnect the client or revoke its TrustSEO credential at any time.

6. Data Usage and Leaderboard

By using the Service, you acknowledge that:

  • If you opt into a public leaderboard, limited derived or aggregated GSC metrics may be displayed
  • Any public leaderboard information is limited to derived or aggregated metrics and is displayed in accordance with our privacy policy
  • We calculate proprietary metrics (TrustSEO Score, Momentum, Efficiency, Footprint) based on your GSC data
  • Leaderboard rankings are determined by verified metrics and our proprietary algorithms

You retain ownership of your Google Search Console data. We do not store that data or expose it through the Service. You may control whether optional derived metrics are shown publicly.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
  • Attempt to manipulate or game the leaderboard rankings
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers
  • Access the Service through automated means without permission
  • Impersonate any person or entity
  • Violate any applicable laws or regulations

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its original content, features, and functionality, is owned or operated by Hovers.ai under the TrustSEO brand and is protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

Our proprietary metrics (TrustSEO Score, Momentum, Efficiency, Footprint) and algorithms are our intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works based on our Service without express written permission.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee:

  • Uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service
  • Accuracy or completeness of displayed data
  • That the Service will meet your specific requirements
  • That rankings or metrics will improve your SEO performance

Data displayed is fetched from Google Search Console in real time and is subject to Google's data availability and accuracy.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Trust SEO shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service.

11. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms of Service or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.

You may terminate your account at any time by disconnecting your Google Search Console account and deleting your account. Upon termination, your data will be removed from public leaderboards, but historical data may be retained in accordance with our privacy policy.

12. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify users of any material changes via email or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
