Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 July 2026

Frugle ("Frugle", "we", "us") is a free, read-only tool that lets you view and export your own Google Ads spend history. Frugle is operated by Fernlabs (fernlabs.xyz). This policy explains what we access, how we use it, and your choices.

Information we access

When you sign in with Google, Frugle requests permission to access:

Basic profile — your name, email address, and profile picture (via the openid, userinfo.email, and userinfo.profile scopes), used only to show who is signed in.
Google Ads data (read-only) — via the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords scope. Frugle issues only read (SELECT) queries and reads: the accounts you can access (ID, name, currency) and your monthly advertising cost. Frugle never creates, edits, pauses, or deletes campaigns or any other data in your account.

How we use it

We use this information solely to display your spend history back to you as charts and tables, and to generate the CSV you choose to download. We do not sell it, share it, use it for advertising, use it to train machine-learning models, or use it for any purpose beyond providing this feature to you.

Frugle's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Storage and retention

Tokens. Your Google access and refresh tokens are stored only in a signed, HTTP-only session cookie in your browser. They are not written to our servers, disk, or any database, and the session expires after 24 hours.
Your Ads data. Frugle does not retain your Google Ads spend data on its servers. It is fetched live, shown to you, and discarded when your session ends. CSV files are generated on demand and downloaded directly to your device.

If we ever introduce optional server-side storage of your spend history, we will update this policy first and it will be used only to display your own data back to you.

Third parties

Google — authentication (OAuth) and the Google Ads API, governed by Google's own privacy policy.
Fly.io — hosts the application. Standard request logs may contain IP addresses and request metadata for operating the service.

Security

Traffic is served over HTTPS. Session cookies are signed and HTTP-only. No Google credentials are logged or stored server-side. No system is perfectly secure, but we aim to minimise what we hold — largely by holding nothing.

Your choices

Sign out at any time to clear your session.
Revoke Frugle's access entirely at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Because we do not retain your data, signing out or revoking access leaves nothing for us to delete. For any question, contact us below.

Changes

We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
