Introduction and Scope
At Local SEO Experts NYC, we take privacy compliance seriously. This document outlines how we collect, store, and process business lead information gathered via our Free Local SEO Audit and Strategy Call request forms. This policy applies to all visitors, clients, and local business operators who engage with our digital search platforms.
Information We Collect
We collect business coordinates, website URLs, phone numbers, contact names, and email addresses submitted directly by users. This data is used solely to evaluate search engine visibility, generate audit diagnostics, and communicate recommendations.
Additionally, we may collect technical metadata such as browser headers, IP addresses, and session request parameters to prevent spam listing injections and secure our site directories.
How We Use Data
We utilize the gathered info to:
- Compile diagnostic rankings reports and Maps pack reviews statistics.
- Conduct live screen-shares to review optimizations.
- Submit directory listing corrections to third-party maps engines if authorized by your business representatives.
We do not use your information for unrelated advertising pitches or sell it to external lead-generation brokers.
Information Security Protocols
All form submissions utilize secure session tokens (CSRF) and validation structures. Lead information is stored securely in a protected local data directory and is only accessible by authorized system administrators.
We implement TLS encryption for all transit parameters and conduct weekly security sweeps to verify directory privacy standards.
Cookies and Tracking Policy
We employ standard HTTP cookies to manage secure form submission sessions and track anonymous aggregate traffic via Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand which optimization resource articles are most helpful to our local audience.
You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or notify you when cookies are sent, though some interactive audit functions may operate with limited features.
Third-Party Data Sharing
We do not share your private coordinates, phone numbers, or email listings with third parties, except in the following limited cases:
- Where explicit consent is provided to submit business parameters to Google Business Profile or other citation directories.
- To comply with legal process demands or local search regulatory requirements.
Your Data Rights
You maintain full control over your business data parameters. You may request to:
- Access all stored contact records and diagnostic histories.
- Correct or update directory metadata or phone listings.
- Delete your lead record completely from our server archives.
To exercise these rights, please contact our data team via email.
