Privacy Policy: What Data We Collect,
Why We Need It & How We Protect It.
No robot legalese. No 47 different "legitimate interests." Just a clear explanation of how we treat your data as if it were our own.
Hey. It’s me again.
I know what you are thinking.
"A Privacy Policy? Isn't that just a boring legal box I have to check?"
Honestly? Most companies treat it that way. They copy-paste some template from 2007, bury it in the footer, and hope nobody reads it.
I hate that approach.
Your privacy isn't a checkbox. It's a promise. When you visit SEO Backlink Building Services, you are sharing information about yourself. You are trusting us not to abuse that data, sell it to strangers, or lose it in a breach. That trust is everything.
So, forget the robot legalese for a minute. Let me walk you through exactly what data we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe. No jargon. No fine print tricks. Just the truth.
1. Who We Are (The Humans Behind This Policy)
SEO Backlink Building Services is a link building and digital PR agency. We help websites rank higher on Google by earning honest, high-quality backlinks.
If you ever have a question about your data—not just a "legal query," but a genuine "Hey, what did you do with my email?"—you can email me directly. I read every message.
2. What Data Do We Actually Collect?
Let’s break this down into plain English. We collect stuff you choose to give us and stuff your device automatically shares.
Voluntary Data
- Contact forms (Name, Email, Website)
- Purchase details (Billing address)
- Booking info (Availability, Goals)
- Email interactions (Opens, Clicks)
Device Footprint
- IP Address & Location
- Browser Type & Version
- Referring URLs (SEO, Social, etc.)
- Pages Visited & Time Stayed
Why? We need this to invoice you, build your backlinks, protect your account from fraud, and figure out which of our blog posts you actually like.
3. Cookies: The Truth
Cookies are not evil. They are small text files your browser stores so websites remember who you are. We use three types:
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Make the website work (Login, Checkout). | Session-based |
| Analytics | See where users get stuck. Anonymous data. | Up to 2 years |
| Marketing | Show relevant ads on social media (FB/LI). | Varies |
You can block all cookies in your browser, but the checkout process may break.
4. The "No Creeps" Clause
We will NEVER:
- Sell your data to third-party advertisers.
- Rent your email to "marketing partners."
- Use your brand name without asking first.
We use your data only to provide services, communicate strategy, improve our tools, and prevent fraud. Simple.
5. When Shared? (Spoiler: Almost Never)
Service Providers
Google (Email), Stripe (Payments), Ahrefs (Research). They can't sell your data.
Legal Obligations
Only if a court order is legitimate. We fight bad requests tooth and nail.
Business Transfers
Only if we are acquired, to ensure your services continue uninterrupted.
6. Retention
Contact forms are deleted after 2 years. Invoices kept for 5 (tax laws). Email data deleted 30 days after you unsubscribe.
7. Protection
SSL/HTTPS encryption, 2-factor authentication for staff, and zero credit card storage (Stripe handles the heavy lifting).
8. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
EU (GDPR)
- Right to access all held data.
- Right to rectification (fixes).
- Right to be forgotten/erased.
- Right to object to processing.
California (CCPA)
- Right to know collected info.
- Right to delete personal info.
- Right to opt-out of sales (we don't sell).
To exercise these: Email privacy@seobacklinkbuildingservices.com with subject "PRIVACY REQUEST".
9. Minor's Privacy
We don't target anyone under 18. If a minor shares data, contact us for immediate deletion.
10. Third-Party Links
Once you click a link to Forbes or a client site, you leave our playground. Read their policies.
11. Policy Changes
The internet evolves. Significant changes will be emailed; smaller ones posted here with a date.
12. "Do Not Track"
We don't currently respond to DNT signals as no universal standard exists yet. Use cookie settings.
13. International Transfers
By using the site, you consent to data being transferred to and stored in the United States, protected by equivalent safety levels.
Let Me Be Blunt
A lot of companies write privacy policies to protect themselves from lawsuits. I wrote this one to protect you.
I don't want your data sitting in a shady database. I don't want strangers emailing you. I don't want to wake up and read that we cut corners on security.
My personal promise: If we ever mess this up, I will personally email every single client and admit exactly what happened. No spin. Just accountability.
Questions? Send an Email.
If you have questions about this policy—big or small—I want to hear from you. Don't send a lawyer. Just send an email. Usually, I reply within 24 hours.
