Introduction
At SEO is Alive, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways, including:
- Automatically Collected Data: When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited. This helps us understand how visitors use our site.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) and similar analytics services to track user behavior and improve your experience.
- Information You Provide: If you contact us or subscribe to updates, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To improve our website content, design, and functionality
- To analyze site traffic and user behavior
- To send you educational content and updates (if you opt-in)
- To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- To comply with legal obligations
Third-Party Services
Our website uses the following third-party services that may collect data:
- Google Tag Manager: For analytics and tracking. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy
- Hostinger: Our hosting provider. Their privacy policy is available on their website.
Google Search Console Dashboard (OAuth)
Our Search Console Dashboard lets you sign in with Google and view your own Search Console data. Handling of that connection follows Google's API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- What we request: the read-only
webmasters.readonly scope, which permits reading verified property metadata and search analytics data. We do not request write access.
- How the data is used: solely to render the dashboard back to you in your own browser session. We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell or share it with third parties, and we do not use it to train AI or ML models.
- Where it lives: the OAuth access token and refresh token are stored only in your server-side PHP session for the current browsing session. Search analytics results themselves are fetched on demand and are not written to any database or log file. No human at SEO Is Alive can view your Search Console data.
- How to revoke access: click "Disconnect" inside the dashboard at any time to revoke the token and clear the session, or remove SEO Is Alive from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
- Retention: tokens are cleared when you disconnect or when your browser session ends. Nothing about your Search Console data persists on our servers between visits.
Data Security
We take data security seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no transmission of data over the internet is completely secure.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:
- The right to access your data
- The right to correct inaccurate data
- The right to request deletion of your data
- The right to opt-out of analytics tracking
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience, including a theme preference cookie (seo-theme) that stores your light/dark mode preference. You can control cookie settings through your browser.
