Privacy Policy

1. Who I Am

I am Noman Habib, a freelance local SEO specialist operating as a sole trader. This website is used to present my services and allow potential clients to contact me.

Contact: hello@nomanhabibseo.com

2. What Information I Collect

Information you give me directly — when you fill in the contact form, you may provide:

• Full name
• Email address
• Phone number / WhatsApp number (optional)
• Website URL (optional)
• Details about your business and enquiry

Information collected automatically — when you visit this website, Google Analytics 4 automatically collects:

• Pages visited and time spent
• General geographic location (country/city level)
• Device type and browser
• Referral source (how you found this site)

3. How I Use Your Information

I use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your enquiry and assess whether I can help your business
• Communicate with you about potential or ongoing projects
• Understand how visitors use this website so I can improve it (via Analytics)

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. I do not send unsolicited emails or newsletters.

The legal basis for processing your contact form data is legitimate interest (responding to a business enquiry you initiated). Analytics data is processed on the basis of consent, where required by law.

4. Third-Party Services

This website uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

When you submit the contact form, your data is transmitted to Formspree’s servers (based in the USA) before being forwarded to my email. Formspree is compliant with GDPR and uses Standard Contractual Clauses for international data transfers.

5. Cookies & Analytics

This website uses cookies placed by Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with the site. These cookies collect anonymised data — they do not identify you personally.

Google Analytics cookies typically include:

• _ga — distinguishes unique users (expires: 2 years)
• _ga_[ID] — stores session state (expires: 2 years)

I have enabled IP anonymisation in Google Analytics so your full IP address is never stored.

Beyond Google Analytics, this website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or social media cookies.

6. How Long I Keep Your Data

I retain contact form enquiries for as long as is reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry and manage any resulting business relationship — typically up to 2 years from the date of last contact.

If we enter into a client relationship, project-related communications may be retained for up to 6 years for accounting and legal compliance purposes.

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months (the minimum available setting in GA4).

You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting me (see Section 11).

7. Your Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are based in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data protection laws, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data I hold about you
• Right to rectification — you can ask me to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you can ask me to delete your data (“right to be forgotten”)
• Right to restrict processing — you can ask me to limit how I use your data
• Right to data portability — you can request your data in a portable format
• Right to object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interest

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at hello@nomanhabibseo.com. I will respond within 30 days.

If you are in the UK, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). If you are in the EU, you may contact your local data protection authority.

8. Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your information. This website is served over HTTPS (encrypted connection). Contact form data is transmitted securely via Formspree and received in my email inbox, which is protected by a strong password and two-factor authentication.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but I aim to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information.

9. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for business owners and professionals. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe a minor has submitted information through this website, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will always show the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
