Privacy Policy

Effective August 4, 2026

HawaiiWebSEO respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through hawaiiwebseo.com, why we use it, the service providers that help us operate the Website, and the choices available to you.

Information you provide

When you contact us, we collect your name and email address. You may also choose to provide your phone number, business name, the services you are interested in, and a message. We use this information to understand your inquiry and respond to you.

When you subscribe to our newsletter or unlock the Free SEO Checker, we collect your name and email address. Subscribing unlocks the checker and creates a newsletter subscription record. We use that information to manage your subscription and checker access. When newsletter delivery begins, we may also send occasional HawaiiWebSEO updates.

When you use the Free SEO Checker, you provide a Website URL. We send that URL to DataForSEO so it can generate the requested on-page analysis. The report is returned to your browser. HawaiiWebSEO does not store the checker report in its own database.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in a contact-form message or Website URL.

Information collected automatically

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Google Analytics may collect page views, session activity, approximate location, browser and device information, referring pages, and a first-party identifier stored in the _ga cookie. We do not send your name, email address, phone number, or contact-form message to Google Analytics. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled.

The Website also stores a small local browser setting after newsletter signup so the Free SEO Checker can remain unlocked on that device.

Our hosting, content-delivery, security, and database providers may process technical information such as IP address, user agent, request details, and service logs as part of operating and protecting the Website.

How we use information

We use information to:

• Respond to questions and service inquiries.
• Manage newsletter subscriptions and checker access.
• Produce the SEO Checker report you request.
• Measure Website traffic and engagement.
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and protect the Website.
• Meet legal obligations and enforce our rights.

How we share information

We share information only with service providers that help us operate the Website and deliver requested features:

• Lovable Cloud and Supabase provide application and database infrastructure.
• Cloudflare provides domain, delivery, and security infrastructure.
• Google Analytics provides Website measurement.
• DataForSEO processes Website URLs submitted to the Free SEO Checker.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Some may process information outside Hawaii or the United States.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect people or property, investigate misuse, or support a business transfer.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.

Cookies and your choices

Google Analytics uses cookies, including _ga, to distinguish visitors and sessions. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies may affect measurement but should not prevent you from viewing the Website.

You can also use Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (opens in a new tab).

Our Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. Because we do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising, we do not provide a sale or targeted-advertising opt-out.

Newsletter choices

When newsletter delivery begins, you can unsubscribe using the option included in an email. You can also unsubscribe at any time by emailing ryan@hawaiiwebseo.com with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line. We will process the request as soon as reasonably practical and within any legally required period.

Retention

Contact and newsletter records remain stored until we delete them or you ask us to delete them. We do not use an automatic deletion schedule. SEO Checker reports are not stored by HawaiiWebSEO. Google Analytics and our service providers retain information according to their settings and policies.

Your privacy requests

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you submitted through the Website, or to stop using it for marketing. Email ryan@hawaiiwebseo.com and describe your request. We may need to confirm your identity before completing a request. We will consider and respond to requests as required by applicable law.

Depending on where you live and whether a particular law applies to HawaiiWebSEO, you may have additional privacy rights. We will not discriminate against you for making a valid privacy request.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. These include secure Website connections, input validation, and restricted database access. No online service or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

The Website is intended for businesses and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so we can review and remove it.

International processing

Our service providers may process information in the United States or other countries. Privacy protections may differ from those in your location.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our Website, services, or privacy practices change. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date.
