Information We Collect

We only collect the data needed to deliver SEO services, operate our platform, and meet legal obligations. This includes:

  • Contact details: name, email address, company name, domain, and optional notes when you email us at hello@increasedomainrating.com or schedule a consultation.
  • Commercial information: project specifications, backlink requirements, and billing references shared during onboarding or when paying invoices via Stripe.
  • Technical data: IP address, device type, and analytics events captured via our privacy-focused analytics vendor (datafa.st) to understand site performance. We do not use invasive fingerprinting or sell this data.

How We Use Information

  • Provide quotes, statements of work, and project updates.
  • Deliver SEO audits, consulting, on-page/off-page improvements, and link building results.
  • Verify Domain Rating improvements and send confirmation emails.
  • Respond to support requests and troubleshoot issues.
  • Maintain security, detect abuse, and comply with accounting or tax requirements.

Legal Bases

For visitors and customers located in the EU, UK, or similar jurisdictions, we rely on the following legal bases under GDPR:

  • Contract: to deliver requested SEO services.
  • Legitimate Interests: to protect our platform, run analytics, and improve offerings.
  • Consent: for optional communications that require opt-in.
  • Legal obligation: for invoicing, bookkeeping, and regulatory compliance.

Sharing & International Transfers

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share limited data with:

  • Infrastructure and analytics providers (hosting, datafa.st) who act as processors under written agreements.
  • Payment processors such as Stripe, who process billing details on our behalf. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
  • Professional advisors (legal, accounting) where necessary.
  • Authorities if required by applicable law or to safeguard our rights.

When data leaves your home jurisdiction, we use standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards to protect it.

Data Retention

Project and billing records are retained for up to seven (7) years to satisfy contractual and tax requirements. Analytics logs are aggregated and deleted on a rolling 12-month basis. You can request deletion earlier unless we must keep the data for legal reasons.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your personal data. California residents can opt out of certain disclosures under CCPA. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@increasedomainrating.com and we will respond within 30 days.

Cookies & Analytics

We use lightweight, first-party cookies only when necessary for site functionality. Usage analytics is handled via datafa.st, which aggregates traffic and does not share personally identifiable information with third parties for advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings without losing access to our site.
