Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 15, 2026

TL;DR — The Short Version

We collect minimal data — basically what you give us when you fill out a form or become a client. We don't sell your data. We don't buy data about you. We don't use creepy tracking. We use privacy-focused analytics (no cookies). We use your information only to communicate with you about our SEO copywriting services and deliver the work you hired us to do. That's the honest summary. The full details are below.

1. Who We Are

SEO Copywriting Lab ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website seocopywritingservices.us (the "Site"). We are a US-based SEO copywriting services agency serving businesses across all 50 states.

For the purposes of data protection laws, we are the "data controller" of your personal information. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@seocopywritinglab.com.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information automatically collected when you visit our Site. Here is exactly what each category includes.

2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you fill out our contact form, request a quote, or engage our services, we may collect:

  • Identity information: Your name
  • Contact information: Email address, phone number (optional)
  • Business information: Company name, website URL, industry (optional)
  • Project information: Details about your content needs, goals, timeline, and budget that you choose to share
  • Payment information: Billing address and payment details processed through our third-party payment processor (we do not store full credit card numbers)

You are never required to provide this information. However, if you choose not to, we may not be able to respond to your inquiry or provide our services.

2.2 Information Automatically Collected

When you visit our Site, we automatically collect limited technical information:

  • Usage data: Pages visited, time on page, referring source (e.g., Google, direct, social media)
  • Device data: Browser type, operating system, device type (desktop/mobile/tablet), screen resolution
  • Location data: Country and city-level location derived from your IP address (not precise GPS location)

Important: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics platform that does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track individuals across sites. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party advertising trackers on our Site. Your visit to our Site is not used to build a profile about you or target you with ads.

3. How We Collect Your Information

We collect information through:

  • Our contact and quote forms: When you submit information to request a quote or get in touch
  • Direct communication: Email exchanges, phone calls, and video meetings
  • Client onboarding: Information you share during the project scoping process
  • Plausible Analytics: Privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics script on our Site

We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or profiling purposes. Any session cookies are strictly necessary for Site functionality (such as form submission) and expire when you close your browser.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only for the following purposes, and only when we have a lawful basis to do so:

Purpose Data Used Lawful Basis
Responding to your inquiries and providing quotes for our SEO copywriting services Name, email, project details Legitimate interest / Pre-contractual steps
Delivering agreed services and managing client relationships All client-provided information Contract performance
Invoicing and payment processing Billing information Contract performance / Legal obligation
Sending project-related communications and updates Email, name Contract performance / Legitimate interest
Improving our Site based on aggregate usage patterns Anonymized analytics data Legitimate interest
Legal compliance (tax records, dispute resolution) Transaction records Legal obligation

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making, profiling, or any purpose that produces legal effects concerning you.

5. Who We Share Your Information With

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: Our email provider, hosting provider, payment processor, and subcontractor writers — all operating under written data processing agreements that restrict use of your data to the specific service they provide to us
  • Legal obligations: If required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect our legal rights
  • Business transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified if this occurs

Our subcontractor writers are bound by confidentiality agreements. They receive only the information necessary to complete the assigned work (typically: your business name, industry context, and project brief) — not your full client file.

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Inquiry data (no project resulted): Retained for 24 months after last contact, then deleted
  • Active client data: Retained for the duration of the client relationship
  • Former client data: Retained for 5 years after project completion for legal, tax, and potential re-engagement purposes, then securely deleted
  • Anonymized analytics data: Retained indefinitely in aggregate form (cannot be linked back to individuals)
  • Payment records: Retained for 7 years to comply with tax and accounting obligations

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted through our Site
  • Secure, access-controlled hosting infrastructure
  • Password-protected internal systems with role-based access
  • Regular security reviews of our service providers
  • Written confidentiality agreements with all contractors and service providers

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take the protection of your data seriously.

8. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data
  • Right to data portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@seocopywritinglab.com. We will respond within 30 calendar days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no fee for making a request unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) grant you additional rights:

  • Right to know: You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you, the sources of that data, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it
  • Right to delete: You may request that we delete personal data we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions
  • Right to opt-out of sale/sharing: We do not sell or share your personal data as defined by the CCPA. You have the right to opt-out nonetheless, and we honor that right
  • Right to correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Right to limit use of sensitive data: We do not collect or process sensitive personal information as defined by California law
  • Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights

To exercise your California privacy rights, email privacy@seocopywritinglab.com with "California Privacy Request" in the subject line. We will verify your identity and respond within 45 days as required by law.

Data we have not sold or shared in the past 12 months: We confirm that SEO Copywriting Lab has not sold or shared (as those terms are defined in the CCPA) any personal information in the preceding 12 months. Our SEO copywriting services business model is simple: clients pay us to write content. We don't monetize data.

10. GDPR Rights (EEA/UK Residents)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, including the rights listed in Section 8 above, plus:

  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your data violates GDPR
  • International transfers: Our Site is hosted in the United States. If you access our Site from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US. We rely on standard contractual clauses and adequacy decisions where applicable

11. Children's Privacy

Our Site and SEO copywriting services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us immediately.

12. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (such as client sites in our portfolio, or resources we reference in blog posts). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

13. Do Not Track Signals

Our Site responds to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Since we do not track users across third-party websites or build user profiles for advertising purposes, DNT signals do not change our data collection practices — which are already minimal. Your privacy is the default setting on our Site, not an opt-in.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. When we make changes:

  • We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date
  • For material changes, we will notify active clients via email at least 14 days before the changes take effect
  • Your continued use of our Site or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
