Cold Audit Terms

Effective 11 August 2026 · Version 1.1 · These terms are accepted in the account-connection flow before a Cold Audit is produced. Read with our Privacy Policy (section 8).

1. What you are authorising

By accepting these terms and completing the Google authorisation, you authorise Kliksight (Pty) Ltd, registration number 2026/622670/07, of Stanley and Dock Road, Cape Town, Western Cape, 8001 ("Kliksight"), to access the Google Ads account you connect, on a read-only basis, for the sole purpose of producing a one-off invalid-traffic reconciliation (the "Cold Audit"). You warrant that you are the holder of the account or authorised to act for the account holder.

2. What we read, and what we never do

We read aggregate reporting and invalid-activity credit data only: campaign and ad-group reporting and credit adjustments. We do not read click-level records, we write nothing to the account, and we use the data solely to produce your Cold Audit. We do not use it for any other purpose, including any cross-customer statistics, benchmarks, or shared signals, and we do not sell or share it.

3. Who receives the audit

The Cold Audit is provided to the account holder. If an agency requested the audit on your behalf, the audit is provided to that agency only where you authorise this in the connection flow. Without that authorisation, the requesting agency receives no account data and no audit.

4. Disconnection and deletion

When the Cold Audit is complete, we disconnect our access and delete the authorisation token. We delete the audit data, including the audit output we hold, within 90 days of the audit date, unless the account holder or the requesting agency enters a subscription with Kliksight, in which case the audit is retained under the subscription agreements.

5. Confidentiality, security and processing role (all jurisdictions)

We treat the connected account's data as confidential, protect it with the safeguards described in section 16 of our Privacy Policy, including encryption and least-privilege access, and process it on your instruction, which these terms and your authorisation record. Our sub-processing is limited to our cloud hosting provider. We will inform you without undue delay of any security compromise affecting your data. Under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act, which protects companies as well as individuals, your account information is processed on the basis of this authorisation, and these terms serve as the written mandate the Act requires.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to the connected account and any personal data is processed under these terms, Kliksight processes it as a processor, only on the account holder's documented instructions as recorded in these terms and the authorisation, with access limited to persons bound to confidentiality, and the scope, security, sub-processing, deletion, breach-notification and assistance commitments in these terms constitute the processing terms required by Article 28; requests for information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance are honoured via privacy@kliksight.com. Because Cold Audit reads are aggregate reporting only, no visitor-level personal data is accessed. For account holders subject to United States state privacy laws, Kliksight acts as a service provider or processor, processes the connected account's data solely as these terms permit, and does not sell it, share it, or use it for cross-context behavioural advertising or any purpose outside these terms.

6. General

The Cold Audit is an estimate produced from platform reporting; it is not financial, legal or tax advice, and it does not promise that any advertising credit will be recovered. Nothing in these terms limits any right the law gives you, and where the law gives you more, the law prevails. These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa.
