How we collect, use, and protect your information.
SEOsophist ("Company", "we", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the SEOsophist platform, website, and related services ("Service").
By using our Service, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.
When you connect your Google Search Console account, we access your search performance data (clicks, impressions, CTR, average position, queries, and pages) via Google's API. This data is processed within your Google Sheet and is not stored on our servers. Our OAuth integration requests only the minimum permissions necessary.
When you use AI-powered features, your content and prompts are sent to third-party AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) via your own API keys. We do not store the data sent to or received from these services. Please review the privacy policies of these providers for details on how they handle data.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share your Google Search Console data or API keys with any third party.
Your SEO data lives in your own Google Sheet — we do not host it on our servers. Account and billing information is stored securely using industry-standard encryption (TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest).
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you cancel your subscription and request account deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., financial records for tax compliance).
Usage analytics data is retained in anonymized, aggregated form and cannot be traced back to individual users.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@seosophist.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Your data may be processed in countries outside your own, including Australia and the United States (where third-party service providers are located). Where we transfer data outside the EEA/UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
SEOsophist is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
