This policy explains what personal information GIMSEO (“GIMSEO”, “we”, “us”) collects through gimseo.com, how we use it and the choices you have. If you have any questions, email us at info@gimseo.com.
Information we collect
Information you give us. When you request a free SEO audit or send a project inquiry, we collect the details you enter in the form:
- your name, business email address and, if you choose to give it, your phone or WhatsApp number
- your company name and website address
- details about your project or SEO goals, such as the service you need, your budget range, your target country, competitor websites and any message you write
- your preferred contact method and your confirmation that we may contact you
If you email, call or message us on WhatsApp, we receive the information you share in that conversation.
Information collected automatically. To protect our forms from spam and abuse, we store a one-way encrypted (hashed) version of your IP address with each form submission, and we record which page the form was sent from. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) for security and to keep the website running.
How we use your information
- to reply to your request and prepare the audit, quote or proposal you asked for
- to contact you by the method you chose about your request
- to deliver and manage services if you become a client
- to keep our website and forms secure and prevent spam
- to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing without your permission.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies that are necessary for it to work, such as a cookie that remembers your cookie preferences. We do not currently use advertising cookies. If we add analytics or marketing tools in the future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent through the cookie banner where required. You can change your cookie choices at any time using the cookie settings on our site, or block cookies in your browser settings.
Who we share information with
We share your information only where needed to run our business and provide our services, for example with:
- our website hosting and email providers, who store data on our behalf
- messaging services such as WhatsApp (Meta), if you choose to contact us that way
- professional advisers, or authorities where the law requires it
If you become a client, we may share project information with platforms we use to deliver your service (for example your website platform or advertising accounts), only as needed for that work.
How long we keep information
We keep inquiry and audit requests for as long as needed to respond and follow up, and for up to 24 months afterwards in case you come back to us, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Client records are kept for as long as the law requires for accounting and tax purposes.
How we protect information
Form submissions are stored in our website’s database and are accessible only to authorised GIMSEO staff. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and we take reasonable steps to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us to:
- give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- correct information that is wrong or incomplete
- delete your information
- stop or limit how we use your information, or object to it
To make a request, email info@gimseo.com. We will reply within 30 days. You may also have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country.
International visitors
We work with clients in different countries, and our website and email providers may store data on servers outside your country. By contacting us, you understand that your information may be processed in other countries, and we will protect it as described in this policy.
Children
Our services are for businesses. Our website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Links to other websites
Our website may link to other websites. We are not responsible for how those websites handle your information, so please read their privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
