Security
Connecting an advertising account requires trust. This page summarizes what AdCue accesses, how credentials are stored, and how you stay in control.Principles
Authentication layers
Website login (Auth0)
- Sign-in uses Auth0 Universal Login.
- AdCue requires a stable subject, email, and verified email.
- The browser does not receive raw Auth0 access tokens for casual inspection; the server binds the session to an internal user.
Google Ads OAuth (separate)
- Initiated from Connections via AdCue’s Ads connect routes.
- Scope:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords - Does not grant Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or unrelated Google APIs.
- Stored refresh tokens are encrypted and used only for Ads API calls on your behalf.
MCP client access
- Remote MCP at
https://mcp.adcue.app/mcp - Clients authenticate as your AdCue user (OAuth and/or API keys depending on product path)
- The MCP server injects tenant identity; clients should not pass raw multi-tenant credentials
Google Ads permissions
MCP safety (product rules)
See the full Safety model. Highlights:- Creates land PAUSED
- Destructive

What we store (product data)
Exact retention for analytics features may evolve; account deletion remains the hard stop for product-owned user rows.
Infrastructure (high level)
Account deletion
From Settings, permanent delete:- Removes the AdCue user and cascaded product rows (connections, MCP entitlements owned by that user, plans, related app state)
- Best-effort revokes the stored Google Ads refresh token
- Ends the website session
- Does not delete Auth0 tenant identities via Management API, and does not remove independent waitlist signups
