Information we collect
On some pages of our website, you may be asked to provide some limited personal information in order to enable the provision of certain services. SearchWaveSEO may store this information manually or electronically. By supplying this information, you are consenting to SearchWave SEO holding and using it for the purposes for which it was provided. Information provided will be kept for as long as is necessary to fulfil that purpose.
We may also collect information about your computer, including, where available, your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information to our webmasters. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, which does not identify any individual and allows us to ensure that content from our site is presented most effectively for you and your computer.
How we use collected information
Personal information provided to SearchWave SEO will only be used for the purposes stated when the information is requested. Personal data will not be sold to third parties or provided to direct marketing companies or other organisations without your permission. Personal information collected and/or processed by SearchWave SEO is held in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998.
Demographical and statistical information about user behaviour may be collected and used to analyse the popularity and effectiveness of the SearchWave SEO website. Any disclosure of this information will be in aggregate form and will not identify individual users.
How information is stored
Any information you provide will be stored on our secure servers. However, we work with third-party contractors, some of whom host and operate certain website features. Accordingly, information that we collect from you may be collected in or transferred to a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). That information may be processed by staff outside the EEA who work for us or one of our contractors. You agree to this transfer, storage, and processing by submitting personal information. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we are under a duty to disclose or share such information to comply with any legal obligation or to protect the rights, property or safety of SearchWave SEO, its members or others.
