Geek SEO ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of users ("you," "merchant") who install and use our SEO app on the Shopify platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information in connection with the Geek SEO app ("the App"). By using the App, you consent to the practices described herein.
Once you install the App, we automatically access certain personal information from your Shopify account as permitted by Shopify's API, including:
- Merchant identifying details: Name, store location, contact information associated with your Shopify account.
- Store-related data: Basic store info (e.g., domain, URL), product catalog snippets (names, SKUs for SEO analysis), and online store theme/config details relevant to SEO implementation.
We gather "personal information" (data that identifies or relates to you/your store) through:
- Tool usage data: Actions within the App (e.g., keyword research queries, SEO audit runs, optimization settings applied).
- Automated data capture: Technical info like IP address, browser type, device details, and usage timestamps (to troubleshoot issues, improve performance).
To optimize your store's SEO, we analyze aggregated, anonymized data about your website traffic (e.g., page views, referral sources) via tools like:
- Google Analytics integration (if enabled): We use anonymized traffic data (stripped of personal identifiers) to recommend SEO strategies.
We use collected data only to provide and improve the App's SEO services:
- To monitor App performance, troubleshoot errors, and enhance user experience.
- To communicate with you (e.g., notify about feature updates, critical SEO alerts) – you can opt out of non-essential communications via App settings.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only in these limited cases:
- With Shopify: As required to operate the App (e.g., authenticating your account, syncing store data per Shopify's platform rules).
- With trusted service providers: To support App functionality (e.g., cloud hosting providers, analytics tools – these partners are bound by strict data protection agreements).
- To comply with law: If required by legal obligations (e.g., responding to a valid subpoena or court order).
- Storage duration: We retain your data only as long as needed to provide the App (plus a short period for audit/legal compliance). If you uninstall the App, we delete your store-specific data (excluding aggregated, anonymized analytics).
- Security measures: We use industry-standard safeguards (encryption, access controls) to protect data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect App changes or legal requirements. We'll notify you of material updates via the App or email. Continuing to use the App after changes means you accept the revised policy.
