Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to GetSEO Tools ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools at getseo.tools (the "Service").

Unlike most online services, we've designed GetSEO Tools to minimize data collection. We believe you should be able to use professional SEO tools without sacrificing your privacy.

2. Information We Don't Collect

To be crystal clear, here's what we DON'T do:

• We don't require account registration or login
• We don't collect your name, email, or contact information
• We don't track you with cookies or tracking pixels
• We don't build user profiles or behavioral data
• We don't sell, rent, or share your data with third parties
• We don't use advertising networks or analytics trackers

3. Information We May Collect

3.1 Server Logs

Like most websites, our servers automatically collect standard technical information when you visit:

• IP address (anonymized and not stored long-term)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring page (if you clicked a link to reach us)
• Date and time of access
• Pages visited

This information is used solely for maintaining service security, preventing abuse, and understanding general usage patterns. We don't use it to identify individual users.

3.2 Tool Usage Data

When you use our SEO tools:

• Data you enter into tools (URLs, keywords, content) is processed temporarily in your browser
• Most processing happens client-side (in your browser)
• Data is not stored on our servers unless temporarily necessary for processing
• Any temporarily stored data is automatically deleted after processing

3.3 Contact Information

If you contact us directly via email:

• We'll have your email address and any information you choose to provide
• We use this only to respond to your inquiry
• We don't add you to mailing lists without explicit permission

4. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used only for:

• Providing and maintaining our Service
• Detecting and preventing technical issues
• Protecting against abuse and spam
• Improving our tools and user experience
• Responding to support requests

5. Data Storage and Security

5.1 Data Minimization

We practice data minimization—we only collect what's absolutely necessary and delete it as soon as it's no longer needed.

5.2 Security Measures

We implement appropriate security measures to protect the limited data we handle:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Secure server configuration
• Regular security updates
• Limited data retention

5.3 Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary:

• Tool processing data: Deleted immediately after use
• Server logs: Kept for 30 days maximum for security purposes
• Contact emails: Kept only as long as needed for correspondence

6. Third-Party Services

We minimize third-party services, but some aspects of our Service may involve:

6.1 Hosting Provider

Our website is hosted on servers that may collect standard server logs. Our hosting provider is bound by their own privacy policies and data protection agreements.

6.2 No Analytics or Advertising

We explicitly do NOT use:

• Google Analytics or similar tracking services
• Facebook Pixel or social media trackers
• Advertising networks
• Third-party cookies

7. Your Rights

Since we don't collect or store personal data about you, there's typically nothing to access, correct, or delete. However, you have the right to:

• Use our Service anonymously without providing personal information
• Contact us with privacy concerns
• Request information about any data we might have
• Request deletion of any emails you've sent us

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is available to users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information, there are no special considerations for children's use of the Service. However, we recommend parental supervision for users under 13.

9. International Users

Our Service is accessible worldwide. If you're accessing from the European Union or other regions with data protection laws, please note:

• We don't collect data that would fall under GDPR's personal data definition in most cases
• We practice data minimization by design
• We don't transfer personal data internationally because we don't collect it

10. Do Not Track Signals

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, since we don't track users anyway, the presence or absence of DNT signals doesn't change our behavior.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted at the top of the policy.

Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. California Privacy Rights

If you're a California resident, you have additional rights under CCPA. However, since we don't collect, sell, or share personal information as defined by CCPA, most CCPA provisions don't apply to our Service.

13. Our Commitment

We built GetSEO Tools with privacy as a core principle, not an afterthought. We believe:

• You shouldn't need to give up privacy to use good tools
• Data minimization is better than data protection
• Transparency builds trust
• Your data belongs to you, not us
