Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 23, 2026.
Most privacy policies read like a terms of service for a nuclear power plant. We run a local SEO agency. We help businesses dominate the Google Maps 3-Pack. We do not need a 40-page legal document to explain how we handle your email address.
We believe in absolute transparency. You trust us with your business data. We protect it. This page explains exactly what we collect, why we need it, and how you can control it.
The Information We Collect
We gather information in two distinct ways. You hand it over directly. Our systems track it automatically.
First, you give us direct information. You fill out our contact form. You request a GBP audit. You hand over your name, your email address, your phone number, and your Google Business Profile URL. We need this raw data to do our jobs. We cannot analyze your local search visibility without knowing who you are and where your business operates.
Second, our systems collect data automatically. When you browse Boost Your 3-Pack Rank, your browser talks to our server. We log your IP address. We record your browser type, your operating system, and the exact pages you visit. We see how long you spend reading our guide on citation consistency. We see if you bounce immediately from our page on review velocity.
Why We Need Your Data
We collect data to operate a functional, effective business. We do not hoard information for the sake of it.
We use your contact details to reply to your inquiries. If you ask us why your plumbing company vanished from the map pack, we use your provided URL to investigate. We check your NAP consistency across directories. We look at your proximity signals. Then we email you our findings.
We use analytics data to improve our content quality. This matters heavily. We watch our traffic patterns closely. If 500 local business owners click on our guide to optimizing GBP Q&A sections, but 450 of them leave after ten seconds, the content failed. We rewrite it. Analytics show us the exact friction points on our website. They tell us what local SEO problems you actually care about. We build better resources based on that reality.
We also use automated data to secure our infrastructure. Logging IP addresses helps us identify and block malicious bots trying to scrape our ranking case studies or spam our contact forms.
Cookies and Tracking Technology
We use cookies. These are small text files dropped into your browser cache. They make the modern web function.
We deploy session cookies to keep the site running smoothly while you navigate between pages. These expire the moment you close your browser.
We use persistent cookies for our analytics stack. We run Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These tools show us the high-resolution picture of our website traffic. They tell us if you found us through an organic Google search or a direct link. They help us measure the effectiveness of our own SEO campaigns.
You have total control here. You can block all cookies through your browser settings. The core functions of our website will still work. You will just become a ghost in our analytics dashboard. We respect that choice completely.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We never have. We never will. Data brokers get absolutely nothing from us.
We share your data strictly with the infrastructure partners that keep this agency operational.
- Our web hosting provider stores our site files and databases.
- Our email service provider routes our outgoing messages.
- Google processes our anonymized traffic data.
We vet these vendors. They maintain their own strict privacy protocols. They cannot legally siphon your data for their own marketing campaigns. We grant them access only to perform specific, necessary functions.
Data Retention Timelines
We keep contact form submissions for two years. If you reach out to us today, and then email us again 18 months from now about a new map pack algorithm update, we need that historical context. We need to remember your business.
Analytics data ages out of our active systems after 14 months. We purge old records on a strict schedule. Less stored data equals less liability. We keep only what serves a current operational purpose.
Your Rights and Control
You own your digital footprint. Depending on where you live, laws like the GDPR or CCPA grant you specific legal rights. We extend these rights to all our users, regardless of geography.
- You can request a full export of the personal data we hold on you.
- You can demand we delete your name, email, and business details from our active databases.
- You can request corrections if we have outdated information on file.
Send your request to our privacy team. We process these demands within seven business days. Zero friction. Zero automated runaround. A real human handles the deletion.
Security Protocols
We protect our digital perimeter. We force HTTPS encryption across every page on this domain. Data traveling between your browser and our server stays locked down.
We secure our administrative accounts with complex passwords and mandatory two-factor authentication. We update our server software relentlessly to patch known vulnerabilities.
Is any system flawless? No. The internet carries inherent, unavoidable risk. We mitigate that risk through standard, proven security practices. If a data breach ever compromises your personal information, we will notify you via email within 72 hours. We will explain exactly what happened and what steps we took to stop it.
Third-Party Links
Our guides frequently link out to Google documentation, local directory sites, and SEO tool providers. We do not control those external websites. Once you click a link and leave Boost Your 3-Pack Rank, our privacy policy no longer applies. Read their policies before handing over your data.
Policy Updates
Local SEO tactics change constantly. Privacy regulations evolve just as fast. We update this policy when our data handling practices shift.
We will change the effective date at the top of this page when we make updates. We will not flood your inbox
