Common questions

Where is my analytics data processed?

Entirely in your browser. The OAuth handshake routes through Google directly; the access token returned is held in browser memory for the session only. Chart computation and rendering happen client-side. There is no DATA HIT server in the data path for the free tools.

Does this work with Universal Analytics (GA3)?

No. Universal Analytics stopped collecting data on 1 July 2023 and its API was retired on 1 July 2024. The Seasonal Spiral and Timing Grid connect to Google Analytics 4 only.

What is the difference between the free tools and Pro?

The Seasonal Spiral, Timing Grid and Search Seasonality are free to use. AI Answer Monitor and AI Answer Stability need a free account, and their AI checks use AI credits; free accounts get a monthly allowance. Pro adds more AI credits, topic scans, 10- and 20-run Stability checks, tracked-keyword weekly SERP snapshots, saved views, cross-tool annotations and a Monday email digest. Raw analytics data is never stored on our servers. See the Pro plans page for details.

Is there an API?

Not publicly. The tools are designed as a visual surface, not a data API. If you have a legitimate need for programmatic access (agency integration, paid product embedding), email hello@datahit.co.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Email hello@datahit.co with a screenshot if possible. We don't run a public issue tracker yet.
