GDPR

Updated at: 2022-11-11.

SEO Rank (“we”, “our”) is fully committed to the users’ privacy, as outlined in our Privacy Policy. Besides the users (“you”, “your”) who are living in the European Union (EU), Norway, United Kingdom, or Iceland, they may enjoy additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding their personal information.

SEO Rank (“we”, “our”) processes Personal Information as a “processor,” “joint controller,” and as a “controller” under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. A “controller” is an entity that determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal information is processed. Any third parties that act as our service providers are “data processors” that handle your Personal Information in accordance with our instructions. With respect to your Personal Information that you enter or that is received through our website is the controller.

  1. How we will use and share and secure your Personal Information

    We will use, share and secure your Personal Information as described in this section and elsewhere in our Privacy Policy.

  2. Basis for processing of your Personal Information

    We rely on three primary bases for processing EU Users’ Personal Information. Those are as follows,

    • The first one is our legitimate interests, which we weigh against any risks to your rights. By “legitimate interests,” we mean the ordinary needs and objectives of a business that offers the types of services available on our website, including security, quality assurance (such as preventing the dissemination or malware and misuse of our Sites and services), customer service, communicating with users to better serve them, and improving and developing new products and services.
    • The second one is when processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.
    • The third basis is consent – you will know when we are relying on consent because we will have expressly asked you for your consent (and if you don’t give us consent, we won’t perform the processing in question). Also, the sections titled “How We Use the Collected Information” and “Share Personal Data with Others” flag the uses that are based on consent by marking them with an asterisk.
    • We may also process your Personal Information on the basis that we need to do so to fulfill our legal obligations. We expect this would be a rare situation.
  3. Revoking your Consent

    If you have given us consent to process your Personal Information, you can withdraw it by emailing us. You can withdraw your consent at any time, although your withdrawal will not apply to processing that took place with your consent before you withdrew it.

  4. “Special” or “sensitive” personal data

    We do not intentionally collect any Personal Information that is considered “special” or “sensitive” under the GDPR, including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, genetic data, biometric data or data concerning health or anything to do with a person’s sexuality. We also do not collect information about criminal convictions or offenses. We request that you refrain from sharing any such Personal Information via the Sites or in connection with our Services.

  5. Access, correction, restriction and deletion

    Your right to access your data and/or correct your data, and how to make a request, is described in the section titled “Your Right Over Your Personal Information” You may request a copy of your Personal Information, and we reserve the right to providing a copy to you, as permitted by applicable law. You may also request that your data be deleted, and we will comply with your deletion request unless applicable law permits us to refuse the request, in which case we will tell you that we have rejected your request and give you the reasons why. You may request that the use of your Personal Information be restricted, subject to Article 21 of the GDPR. If you make a data restriction request, we will discuss it with you and, in any event, we will comply with any obligations we may have under Article 21 of the GDPR. Where appropriate, we may address your request by de-identifying the data such that it no longer identifies you, consistent with applicable law.

  6. Data Portability

    The GDPR provides certain rights relating to data portability. You may request data portability to the extent provided by applicable law.

  7. Profiling

    Under the section titled “Share Personal Data with Others” describes how we use Personal Information for profiling, and how we share profiles with third parties. You can opt out of profiling for direct marketing at any time by contacting us at privacy@hhseorank.com and we will honor your request. When we engage in profiling for other purposes that don’t involve direct marketing, we will consider your request and honor it unless we determine that we have compelling legitimate in continuing the profiling that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the continued profiling is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. We expect that this would be rare, but one example might be profiling to prevent fraud or the misuse of our website and Services. We will explain our reasoning to you if we reject your request to stop profiling.

  8. How long we keep your Personal Information

    We retain your personal data as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained. We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you our Services, or as otherwise required by applicable law or related legal purposes. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your identifiable personal data to provide you our Services, contact us at privacy@hhseorank.com. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

  9. Who will receive your Personal Information

    See the provision titled “How we share information we gather’ of our Privacy Policy.

  10. Data transfers to third countries

    We provide our website and related services from the UK and may use service providers in various countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as is in your country.

  11. Complaints

    You have the right to make a complaint under the GDPR to your local data protection authority. Our e-mail address for complaints, requests or questions relating to this Privacy Notice is privacy@hhseorank.com
