AdLoop is an open-source, locally-run tool. It has no backend, no servers, and no telemetry.
What AdLoop Accesses
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.
How Your Data Is Handled
- 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.json on 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 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.log on your machine for your own review.
Third-Party Services
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.
Revoking Access
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.json from your machine
