2. What data is processed?
The extension processes the following personal and usage-related data:
2.1 Data stored locally in the browser (chrome.storage.local)
| Data category | Description |
|---|---|
| Licence key | Stored encrypted locally in the browser. Used for authentication against app.sea-suite.de. Encryption is performed in JavaScript; complete protection against manual access is technically limited. |
2.2 Data synchronised via Google account (chrome.storage.sync)
The following data is stored in chrome.storage.sync and synchronised across browsers via the user's Google account:
- User settings (configuration layer of the Usability Booster)
- Statistical data (date of first use)
- Version data of the extension
This data is processed by the Chrome Sync mechanism of Google LLC. Neither Party A nor Party B has any influence over Google's processing. Google's privacy policy applies (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
2.3 Data transmitted to app.sea-suite.de
When the extension connects to the server app.sea-suite.de, the following data is transmitted:
| Data category | Description |
|---|---|
| IP address | Transmitted technically with every connection. |
| Licence key | For authentication and identification of the user. |
| Google Ads Customer ID | The Customer ID of the Google Ads account active in the browser (will be transmitted in a future version of the extension; not yet implemented). |
| Task parameters | Controls which data the server returns (e. g. issue queries for specific accounts). |
2.4 Data returned from app.sea-suite.de
The server returns issue data for the Google Ads accounts linked to the user's licence key in the SEA Suite. This includes: Google Ads Customer ID, number and priority of issues, script names and links to the SEA Suite interface. This data is displayed exclusively within the user's Google Ads interface.
3. Purpose of processing
| Purpose | Description |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Verification of the valid licence key against app.sea-suite.de. |
| Provision of functionality | Retrieval and display of SEA Suite issue data directly within the Google Ads interface. |
| Configuration | Storage of user-specific settings for the extension. |
| Operations and security | Connection logs to ensure secure server operations. |
4. Legal basis
Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract). The user enters into a licence agreement with InBiz Online Marketing GmbH & Co. KG for the use of the SEA Suite. Processing of the stated data is necessary for the performance of this contract.
5. Retention periods and deletion
| Data category | Retention period / deletion |
|---|---|
| Connection logs (server-side) | Automatically deleted after a maximum of 30 days. Server location: Hetzner, Falkenberg, Saxony (EU/Germany). |

Handled in accordance with the behaviour of the Chrome Sync mechanism (Google). Users can delete this data via Chrome settings. |
6. Disclosure of data
Personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data transmission takes place exclusively between the extension (client-side) and the server app.sea-suite.de operated by Party A. The server is hosted by Hetzner in Germany; no transfer of data to third countries outside the EU takes place.
Exception: The use of chrome.storage.sync means that configuration data is synchronised by Google LLC (USA). Google's privacy policy applies to this processing by Google.
