Pretty sure the privacy policy for Analytics prevents them from doing this.

  Yeah wasn't sure if that's the case or not. Why else would the offer analytics for free though? It's been (relatively) recently they've allowed people to import GA sessions for retargetting. Always thought it was for being able to improve rankings.

    They charge for it above a certain volume and for various enterprise features. It’s always integrated well with Google Ads. I imagine it also boxes out other companies who might want that data.

  Perhaps worth a re-read.

    I think there is a more specific DPA for analytics. But in any event google says analytics isn’t used for search rankings https://www.seroundtable.com/google-algorithm-google-analytics-data-24065.html https://www.seroundtable.com/google-algorithm-google-analyti...
