Privacy Policy

BacklinksGeek ("we," "our," or "us") provides bespoke, manual link building, content outreach, and SEO authority solutions for SaaS, AI, and technology brands. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your personal data with transparency, integrity, and security.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit our website at backlinksgeek.com, request a free backlink gap analysis, schedule a strategy consultation, or engage our link building services.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to deliver high-impact outreach campaigns and maintain effective client communications. The types of data we collect include:

• Client & Contact Details: Name, work email address, phone number, company name, and job title provided when submitting a contact request or booking a strategy call.
• Website & SEO Data: Your website URL, target landing pages, competitor domains, target keywords, anchor text preferences, and current backlink profile details provided for campaign scoping.
• Communication Records: Messages, email exchanges, notes from strategy calls, and feedback submitted through our forms or direct correspondence.
• Billing & Transaction Details: Invoicing address, company tax registration details, and payment records when entering into a paid service agreement. Payment transactions are processed securely through PCI-compliant payment gateways; we never store raw credit card numbers.
• Technical & Log Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and session duration collected via standard server logs and privacy-focused site analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect solely for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Reviewing your website and competitor backlink profiles to prepare tailored link gap analyses and outreach proposals.
• Executing manual outreach campaigns, researching topical publications, pitching editors, and securing approved editorial backlinks.
• Communicating project updates, monthly delivery reports, keyword movement tracking, and live placement notifications.
• Invoicing, processing payments, and maintaining proper accounting and tax records.
• Improving website functionality, user experience, and preventing fraudulent or abusive activity.
• Sending occasional industry insights or service updates if you have opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time).

3. Manual Outreach and Editorial Data Handling

As a boutique link building agency, our outreach is conducted manually by research strategists. We never sell, rent, or trade your company information, target URLs, or proprietary campaign data with third-party link brokers, data aggregators, or automated email blast systems.

When pitching relevant webmasters, journalists, and editors on your behalf, we present content angles and editorial resources that align with your approved guidelines.

4. How We Share and Disclose Information

We do not sell personal data. We only share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Trusted Service Providers: Vetted third-party service providers who assist our business operations under strict data processing and confidentiality agreements (such as cloud hosting, email delivery, CRM, and analytics).
• Legal & Regulatory Compliance: When required by applicable law, court order, governmental regulation, or legal process.
• Protection of Rights: When necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of BacklinksGeek, our clients, or the public.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses essential and performance cookies to remember user preferences and monitor overall site traffic. You can adjust your browser settings to reject cookies or alert you when cookies are placed. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect site navigation and usability.

6. Data Security and Retention

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. We retain your personal and campaign data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to satisfy legal, accounting, and reporting obligations.
