Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 20, 2026.
Most privacy policies read like legal fiction. We write ours differently. You trust us to dissect your Google Business Profile, analyze your local competitors, and fix your NAP consistency. That requires transparency. We handle your data with the exact same precision we apply to your local SEO campaigns.
We collect information to do exactly two things. We communicate with you about your map pack rankings. We analyze website traffic to write better content. Nothing else.
Read this document carefully. It outlines exactly what we track, why we track it, and how you control it.
The Data We Actually Collect
You leave a digital footprint when you visit seomappackservice.com. We categorize this into two distinct buckets. Information you hand to us directly. Information our systems gather automatically.
When you fill out our contact form or request a local SEO audit, you provide specific details. We ask for your name, your email address, and your business website URL. Sometimes you drop your exact Google Maps CID link in the message box. We need this data to look at your current proximity signals and review velocity. We store this information securely in our client management system.
Automatic data collection happens in the background. Our servers log your IP address, browser type, and operating system. We track which pages you read. We see if you bounce off our citation building guide or spend ten minutes reading about review generation. This is standard web traffic data.
We do not ask for sensitive personal data. We never request your social security number, personal banking details, or home address. If you accidentally include that information in a contact form, we delete it immediately.
How We Use Your Information
We hate spam. We never sell your email address to third-party lead brokers. We use your contact details strictly to reply to your inquiries, deliver your map pack analysis, and send occasional updates about Google algorithm shifts.
We use your website analytics to illuminate our blind spots. If eighty percent of visitors leave our page on local schema markup within ten seconds, we know that content failed. We rewrite it. We use Google Analytics to find the noise in our content and replace it with signal. This tracking directly improves the quality of the local SEO advice we publish.
Your data dictates our editorial calendar. We see what you search for. We build resources to answer those specific questions. If fifty local business owners search our site for GBP Q&A optimization, we write a guide about it.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They create friction-free browsing. We use them. You control them.
We deploy two types of cookies on this site. Functional cookies keep the site running. They remember your preferences. They stop you from having to dismiss the same notification banner three times a week. Analytics cookies give us high-resolution data on user behavior.
We rely on Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These tools drop their own cookies to track your journey across our pages. They aggregate this data. We look at the macro trends, not your individual browsing habits. You can disable cookies in your browser settings right now. The site will still work. You just lose some personalized functionality.
Third-Party Data Sharing
We keep your data locked down. We do not rent, trade, or sell your personal information. Period.
We do share data with specific, vetted service providers. These are the tools that keep our agency running. We use secure email hosting to communicate with you. We use analytics providers to parse our traffic. We use a cloud-based CRM to track our local SEO campaigns. Every single provider we use complies with strict data protection regulations.
Legal compliance forces our hand in rare situations. We will disclose your information if a court orders it. We will hand over data to investigate fraud or protect the security of our infrastructure. We have never had to do this. We are prepared if it happens.
Your Control Over Your Data
You own your personal information. You dictate what happens to it. We respect your rights completely.
You have the right to access the data we hold about you. You can ask us for a complete copy of your file. You have the right to correction. If you change your business name or email address, tell us. We update our records immediately.
You have the right to be forgotten. Send us an email requesting deletion. We will scrub your name, email, and website URL from our active databases within forty-eight hours. We only retain data required for legal tax compliance.
Opting out of our communications takes one click. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Hit it. You never hear from us again.
Security Measures
The internet is hostile. We treat your data accordingly.
We secure seomappackservice.com with industry-standard SSL encryption. Any data you submit through our forms travels through an encrypted tunnel. We restrict access to your personal information. Only team members actively working on your local SEO audit can see your details.
No system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security. We promise to act immediately if a breach occurs. We will notify you within seventy-two hours if malicious actors compromise your data. We take this responsibility seriously.
Data Retention Timelines
We do not hoard information. We keep your data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.
If you request a map pack audit but never hire us, we delete your intake data after ninety days. Active client data stays on our servers for the duration of our working relationship. We archive basic billing records for seven years to satisfy tax authorities. Analytics data automatically expires after fourteen months.
Clean databases run faster. Deleting old data is good security practice.
International Data Transfers
We operate a global website. Your data crosses borders. When you submit a contact form from the UK, that data travels to our servers in the United States. We ensure these transfers meet all legal frameworks for data protection.
