Privacy Policy

1. Controller

seomarketingtactics, Lärchenstraße 18, 39120 Magdeburg-Hopfengarten, Germany. Contact: support@seomarketingtactics.com / +49 178 7994140.

2. What this policy covers

This policy explains what personal data seomarketingtactics collects when you visit this website, contact us, or place an order, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3. Data we collect

• Contact form: name, company (if given), email, phone (if given), and the content of your message.
• Checkout: name, company, email, phone (if given), billing address, VAT ID (if given), website URL, target markets/languages (if given), preferred start date (if given), and order details.
• Analytics (only with consent): pages visited, approximate location (country/city level), device and browser type, referral source — collected via Google Analytics 4.
• Server logs: standard technical data (IP address, timestamp, requested page, browser type) generated by any web request; used for security and stability, not for profiling.

4. Why we collect it (legal basis)

• Contact-form and checkout data: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to, and performance of, a contract) and, for the contact form specifically, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
• Analytics: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent, given via the cookie banner) — never loaded or set before you actively accept it.
• Server logs: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a secure, stable website).

5. How your data reaches us

• Contact form: the form hands off to your own email client ("mailto") to send your message directly to support@seomarketingtactics.com; if your device has no configured email client, the form also displays the composed message on-screen with a "Copy to clipboard" option so you can send it yourself. seomarketingtactics does not operate a server-side backend for this form.
• Checkout: order data is processed and stored to fulfil your order and issue an invoice; where you choose the demonstration payment option, no card data is collected anywhere on this site.

6. Processors and third parties

• Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics 4) — only after you consent to analytics cookies; data may be transferred to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or equivalent safeguards, per Google’s own terms.
• If you choose the payment-link option, a payment service provider (e.g. Stripe) processes your payment directly on their own hosted page; seomarketingtactics does not receive or store your card data.
• No data is sold, rented, or used for third-party advertising.

7. Retention

• Contact-form messages: since the form hands off to your own email client, retention of the message itself is governed by your and our respective email systems rather than a database we control; we retain resulting email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, typically no longer than 24 months, unless German commercial/tax law requires longer.
• Order and invoice data: retained for the statutory German retention periods for commercial and tax documents (currently up to 10 years under §§ 147 AO / 257 HGB).
• Analytics data: retained per Google Analytics 4's default retention settings; withdrawing consent stops future collection at any time.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15); request correction of inaccurate data (Art. 16); request erasure (Art. 17); request restriction of processing (Art. 18); receive your data in a portable format (Art. 20); object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21); and withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal (Art. 7(3)). To exercise any of these rights, email support@seomarketingtactics.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — the competent authority for Saxony-Anhalt is the Landesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz Sachsen-Anhalt.

9. Cookies

See the Cookie Policy for the full list of cookies used, their purpose, duration, and how to manage your preferences. Non-essential cookies (analytics) load only after you actively opt in via the consent banner; essential cookies (cart contents, your consent choice itself) are always active because the site cannot function without them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the site’s data practices change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
