Information We Collect
What Information I Collect
I collect information in two ways:
- Information you provide directly — When you fill out the contact form, request an audit, or send an email, I collect your name, email address, company name, and any details you share about your project.
- Information collected automatically — When you visit this website, standard server logs and analytics tools (Google Analytics) collect your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time on site, and referring URL. This data is aggregated and non-personally identifiable.
How I Use It
How Your Information Is Used
The information I collect is used solely to:
- Respond to your enquiries and provide the SEO services you’ve requested
- Send project updates, reports, and relevant communications you’ve opted into
- Improve the website experience based on aggregated usage patterns
- Comply with legal obligations if required
I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Ever.
Cookies
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
This website uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to improve functionality and understand how visitors use the site.
Essential cookies are required for the site to function correctly (e.g. form submissions, navigation). Analytics cookies (via Google Analytics) help me understand which pages are most useful so I can improve them. These are anonymised and do not track you personally.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
Third-Party Services
Third-Party Tools & Services
To run this website and deliver services, I use a small number of trusted third-party tools:
- Google Analytics — Website analytics (data processed under Google’s Privacy Policy)
- Google Workspace — Email and document management
- WP Engine / Cloudflare — Website hosting and security
- Payment processors (Stripe / Razorpay) — For invoicing and payments, governed by their own privacy policies
Each of these services handles your data under their own privacy policies, which I encourage you to review.

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include SSL encryption on this website, secure email practices, and restricted access to personal data.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While I take every precaution, I cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have concerns about sending sensitive information, please contact me directly.
