This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our website, AI tools, online services, contact forms, accounts, and related features. It does not apply to information collected offline or through services that we do not control.

Where a cookie consent tool is provided, you may use it to manage available cookie preferences.

Small SEO Tools AI does not directly control cookies, identifiers, or information-processing activities operated independently by third-party advertising providers.
Depending on applicable law and the technologies being used, certain advertising disclosures may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or use of personal information for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. Where legally required, users may exercise applicable opt-out rights through available consent controls, recognized browser signals, or by contacting us.

10. Data Retention

The purpose for which it was collected.
Security and fraud-prevention requirements.
Technical and operational requirements.
Applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Whether the information is connected to a dispute, complaint, or investigation.
Backup and disaster-recovery schedules.

When information is no longer required, we may delete it, anonymize it, aggregate it, or securely isolate it until deletion is possible.
11. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction.
These measures may include:
Access restrictions.
Security monitoring.
Firewalls and anti-abuse systems.
Encrypted communications where supported.
Server and software updates.
Logging and incident investigation.
Database maintenance and automated data cleanup.
However, no website, AI system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the website and submit information at your own risk.
12. International Data Transfers
Small SEO Tools AI and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live.
These countries may have different data-protection laws. Where required by applicable law, reasonable safeguards may be used for international transfers, such as contractual protections, approved transfer mechanisms, or other legally recognized safeguards.
13. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, advertisements, tools, or services.
Small SEO Tools AI does not control and is not responsible for the content, security, availability, or privacy practices of third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites or services operated by other organizations.
You should review the privacy policy of each third-party service before providing information to it.

We will consider valid privacy requests in accordance with the laws that apply to our activities.
17. Browser Privacy Signals
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track,” Global Privacy Control, or similar preference signals.
Because there is not one universally accepted standard for every type of browser signal, the website may not respond to all signals. Where a legally recognized opt-out preference signal must be honored, we will process it as required by applicable law.
18. Children’s Privacy
Small SEO Tools AI is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Where local law requires a higher minimum age for a person to consent to data processing, that higher minimum age may apply.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise children’s online activities. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through our website, please contact us. After receiving sufficient information to identify the relevant data, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and delete it where required.
