SEO Kickoff ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at https://seokickoff.com(the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. Please read it carefully.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide
We do not require you to create an account to use this Site. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you include in that message (e.g. your name and email address).
1.2 Automatically collected information
When you visit the Site, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may automatically collect standard server log data, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is used for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics. We do not use it to identify you personally.
1.3 SEO tool queries
When you use our free SEO tools, the URLs or text you enter are processed in real time to return results. We do not log, store, or share these inputs. Tool queries are not associated with your identity.
2. Cookies and Tracking
We use a minimal number of cookies necessary for the Site to function (e.g. page view counting stored in Cloudflare D1). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or behavioural tracking cookies.
If we display advertisements via Google AdSense, Google may set its own cookies in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalised ads via Google's Ad Settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To operate and improve the Site and its tools
- To respond to enquiries you send us
