At Google SEO Pros, your privacy is a top priority. We are committed to safeguarding your personal information and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and share data when you visit our website: https://googleseopros.com.

Please note that while we provide services related to Google SEO and digital marketing, we are not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Google LLC, Alphabet Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://googleseopros.com.

Google SEO Pros is an independent provider of SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and digital marketing services. We work with small businesses, agencies, and enterprises to improve online visibility—but we are not owned or operated by Google or Alphabet.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection and website security.

Additionally, an anonymized string (called a hash) may be generated from your email address and provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly displayed alongside your comment.

We use comment data to foster engagement and interaction within our community, while prioritizing your privacy and data protection.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in your files. Visitors to the website can potentially download and extract any location data embedded in publicly accessible images.

We recommend removing geotags and other personal metadata before uploading images to protect your privacy and security.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and provide personalized services.

  • If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for future convenience. These cookies will last for one year, allowing you to skip re-entering details for future interactions.
  • When you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded once you close your browser.
  • Upon logging in, we set cookies to save your login credentials and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser to record the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie expires after one day.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may limit certain functionalities of the site.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, social media posts, etc.). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if you had visited those external sites.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content—including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that external site.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third-party sites before interacting with embedded content.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

However, in specific cases, such as when you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for added security verification.

We may also share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting providers, analytics platforms, spam detection services) under strict confidentiality agreements, solely to operate our website and services efficiently.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This enables us to automatically approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators also have access to this information for site management purposes.

Retention of data is conducted in compliance with applicable laws, including GDPR data minimization principles.
