Privacy Policy for GMB Ranking Toolkit
Effective date: May 18, 2026.
We hate legal jargon. You probably do too. You’re here to figure out how to push your Google Business Profile into the map pack, not to read a law textbook. But data privacy matters. We run a real business here. We collect some data to make this site work. We protect that data. We never sell it.
Read this policy to understand exactly what we track, why we track it, and how you control it.
The Information We Actually Collect
We keep things minimal. We only ask for what we need to operate the site and answer your questions.
When you fill out a contact form to ask about NAP consistency or request a site audit, you give us your name and email address. You often drop your website URL or a link to your GBP listing. We store that information. We use it to reply to you.
That is the entire scope of our direct data collection.
We don’t scrape your personal data. We don’t buy email lists. We don’t run shady background scripts.
- Direct Contact Data: Name, email address, and any specific local SEO problems you type into our forms.
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device type, and basic log files.
- Usage Data: Which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what links you click.
When you run an audit through our tools, our servers log the request. We see the IP address. We see the browser type. This is standard web infrastructure, not a surveillance operation.
How We Use Your Data
Data sits idle unless you give it a job. We use your data for three specific jobs.
First, we communicate with you. If you ask us why your review velocity dropped, we need your email to send you an answer. We reply to real questions from real business owners.
Second, we improve our content. We watch the noise and find the signal. If our analytics show that 80 percent of visitors drop off halfway through our citation building guide, we know that guide is boring or broken. We rewrite it. We use usage data to spot friction on the site. We fix the friction. We want you ranking in the map pack, not struggling with our site navigation.
Third, we protect the site. Local SEO attracts a massive amount of spam. Competitors try to scrape data. Bots try to inject garbage links into forms. We monitor IP addresses and traffic patterns to block malicious traffic. We keep the site fast and secure for actual human readers.
