Growcord is a connected business suite: the store admin, Books, CRM and the other Growcord products, all opened with one sign-in called Growcord ID. This page lists every Google permission Growcord asks for, why each feature needs it, and how Google data is used, kept, deleted and revoked.

Businesses run their online store and their back office on Growcord. A store's staff work in the Growcord store admin, Books, CRM and the other Growcord products. Staff and shoppers sign in with Growcord ID at id.gc.mw.
The Growcord products are grouped below. Each one has its own page with what it does.
Leads, messages and marketing
Staff and shoppers can choose to sign in to their Growcord ID with their Google account. It is optional.

The store's sitemaps, URL indexing results and organic clicks, impressions and rankings.
