Audit depth and accuracy
All solutions available on the market today are based on auditing GA4 data through the GA4 API, which means being subject to sampling, cardinality, and aggregation. These API-based audit tools can’t dig deeper than the limited data the GA4 API provides them with. Analytics Detective, on the other hand, taps directly into raw, unsampled, unaggregated data at the event level. Find issues hiding so deep that they are invisible to other tools, using several unique checks that are impossible to perform via API.
Privacy, Data Processing, and Ownership
All the other tools that are available on the market fall into one of two categories:
- The audit is simply a Looker Studio report or Google Sheet template, and all checks and processing happens within Looker Studio or the spreadsheet. This definitely makes the audit solution privacy-compliant, as everything happens on the fly. The data only transfers between GA4 and the client’s own browser and the processing happens in the browser.At the same time, this adds considerable limits on the types, depth, and accuracy of checks that can be performed.
- They access your GA4 data through the API and then store and process it on their own servers and data warehouses. Your data will be transferred to their system for analysis, and the audit results will be stored on their systemsand they will keep your audit results there as well. While acceptable by some companies for some use cases, This practice is not acceptable by the more strict privacy and compliance policies of organizations operating in sensitive industries or those who arecompanies subject to more strict regional or local data privacy and governance laws and regulations.
Analytics Detective uses your own service account to generate a single-use access token for the duration of the audit session (meaning the time it takes for the data connector to connect to the GA4 export table and perform the analysis). The processing itself will happen directly in your own Google Could Platform project, and at the same data storage and processing location (US, EU, etc.) used for storing your GA4 export table. Your raw data and the results of the audit never leave your Google Cloud: neither for processing nor for storage.
This makes Analytics Detective one of the rare GA4 audit solutions that is compliant with your organization’s privacy and data governance laws: If your organization and use of Google Cloud is compliant with GDPR, HIPPA, CCPA, or other regulations, then the audits you perform with Analytics Detective will also be compliant.

Got Questions? Here are some answers!
Can I customize the dashboard with my company or client's logo?
Absolutely. Make it your own and show them insights they've never seen before.
How long does it take to perform an audit?
Thanks to BigQuery (and Analytics Detective’s quick deductive powers), your audit takes seconds, or minutes at most, to complete once you set up the data connector.
Do you use, store, or sell my data?
No. Your data and audit results never leave your Google Cloud Platform and your designated data storage and processing location (US, EU, …). Your service account is only used to generate a temporary access token for the duration of performing the audit, which will expire after the session is ended. We do not store your service account key or the access token.
Not only your data not stored outside your Google Cloud, but all the processing is done using your own GCP resources as well. You data doesn’t even pass through ours or any 3rd party servers while being audited.
Can I get my money back if you don’t like the results?
Absolutely. We offer lifetime money-back guarantee on what you didn’t pay: Dude, it’s free! :)
We can try to offer a lifetime money-back guarantee, but that's hard since Analytics Detective is free! :)
