Our Application
GermData operates a private, multi-tenant web application that our team uses to deliver services to client sellers.
We are an independent service provider and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon.
Who can use it
The application is not listed publicly on the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore. It is offered only to sellers who have a service agreement with Germ Bud LLC. Each seller's data is logically separated, and our team members can only see data for the sellers they are assigned to.
How authorization works
The seller authorizes the application through the Selling Partner API OAuth workflow in Seller Central, and through Amazon Ads authorization for advertising data. The seller sees the requested access on Amazon's own consent screen and can decline or revoke it at any time.
We never ask for Seller Central passwords, and we do not log in to seller accounts with shared credentials.
