Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 January 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal data when you use this website.
Who we are (data controller)
Website: https://theseomarketingagency.com
Brand/trading name: The SEO Marketing Agency
Data controller: Jose McGill Design (“we”, “us”, “our”)
Contact (privacy): info@theseomarketingagency.com
Business address: 36 Grant St, Norwich NR2 4HA, United Kingdom
If you have questions about this policy or want to exercise your data rights, contact us using the details above.
What personal data we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:
1) Data you provide to us
Contact form enquiries: name, email address, and any information you include in your message (for example phone number, business name, website URL, project details).
Email enquiries: if you email us directly, we collect what you send us.
2) Data collected automatically
Analytics data (GA4): information about how you use the site (pages visited, interactions), device and browser information, and approximate location.
Security / technical data: IP address, browser user agent, timestamps, and logs used for security and troubleshooting.
3) reCAPTCHA (spam protection)
We use Google reCAPTCHA v2 on our contact form to help prevent spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA may collect information about your device and browser and may set cookies or use similar technologies.
How we use your data (and our legal bases)
We only use your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so under UK data protection law.
Responding to enquiries and providing services
Purpose: reply to messages, provide quotes, deliver services, and manage the client relationship.
Lawful basis: legitimate interests (running our business and responding to enquiries) and/or contract (steps prior to entering a contract and delivering agreed services).
Improving and measuring website performance (GA4)
Purpose: understand site usage and improve content, performance and user experience.
Lawful basis: consent (for analytics cookies and similar tech, where required).
Spam prevention and site security (reCAPTCHA, logs)
Purpose: protect the website and contact forms from spam and abuse, maintain security.
Lawful basis: legitimate interests (keeping the site secure) and, in some cases, legal obligation (where security logging is necessary).
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use:
Essential cookies (needed for the site to function properly and securely).
Non-essential cookies (for example, analytics) — used only where you have provided consent via our cookie settings/banner.
Google reCAPTCHA may also set cookies or use similar technologies as part of its spam-prevention function.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site and to improve it. GA4 may collect information such as:
pages visited and actions taken on the site
device and browser information
approximate location (derived from IP, typically at a regional level)
Google may process this information on our behalf to provide analytics reporting. We configure analytics to support privacy where possible and rely on consent for analytics cookies where required.
Google Search Console (GSC)
We use Google Search Console to monitor how the site performs in Google Search (for example, impressions, clicks and query performance). This is primarily a site-owner tool and does not generally involve placing cookies on visitors via our site in the same way analytics does, but it is a Google service we use for performance monitoring.
Contact forms and Google reCAPTCHA v2
When you submit an enquiry via our website contact form, we collect the information you provide so we can respond. We use Google reCAPTCHA v2 to reduce spam submissions. ReCAPTCHA may analyse traffic and behaviour to determine whether a user is human and may involve data processing by Google.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and deliver services, such as:
Website hosting provider (for site delivery, security and logs)
Google (GA4, Search Console, reCAPTCHA).
Email provider (to receive and respond to enquiries).
We only share what is necessary to provide the service.
International transfers
Some providers we use (including Google) may process data outside the UK. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law (for example, contractual protections) to help protect your data.
How long we keep your data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above:
Enquiries (contact form / email): typically remain open for 12–24 months after the last contact, unless you become a client or we need to keep it open for legitimate business or legal reasons.
Client communications and project records: for the duration of the relationship and then typically up to 6 years for tax/accounting and business record-keeping (adjust to your actual practice).
Analytics data: retained in accordance with our GA4 settings.
Your data protection rights
You may have rights under UK data protection law, including the right to:
access your personal data
correct inaccurate data
request deletion (in certain circumstances)
restrict or object to processing (in certain circumstances)
withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
To exercise your rights, contact us at info@theseomarketingagency.com
Complaints
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your personal data, you have the right to complain to the UK regulator:
Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
Website: ico.org.uk
We’d appreciate the chance to address your concerns first, so please contact us using the details above.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. However, no website or transmission is completely secure.
Children
This website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when changes were made.
