1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed through getcounselseo.com and related website interactions controlled by GetCounselSEO. It does not automatically apply to third-party websites or services linked from this site.

2. Information You Provide

When you choose to contact GetCounselSEO, request information, or book a strategy call, you may provide information such as:

• Name and professional contact information;
• Law firm or company name and website;
• Phone number or email address;
• Practice areas, target markets, marketing goals, or project details;
• Information you include in messages, forms, or scheduling requests.

Please avoid submitting confidential client information, privileged legal information, passwords, financial account details, health information, or other sensitive data that is not necessary for a marketing inquiry.

3. Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, the site and its hosting, security, analytics, or performance services may receive technical information when you visit. Depending on the final configuration, this can include IP address, device/browser information, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP, and cookie or similar identifier information.

The exact analytics, cookie, advertising, or measurement tools used on the live site should be listed or described accurately before launch.

4. How Information May Be Used

Information may be used to:

• Respond to inquiries and schedule conversations;
• Understand a prospective client's requested marketing services;
• Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
• Measure website performance and the effectiveness of marketing;
• Maintain business records and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues;
• Comply with legal obligations or protect legal rights;
• Send requested communications or follow up on an inquiry, subject to applicable law and your choices.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The live website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site operation, security, preferences, analytics, or marketing, depending on the tools ultimately installed. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete certain cookies, although doing so can affect website functionality.

If non-essential analytics or advertising technologies are used in jurisdictions that require notice or consent, the site's cookie banner and preference controls should be configured accordingly.

6. Service Providers

GetCounselSEO may use service providers to support website hosting, security, forms, scheduling, email, analytics, customer relationship management, advertising, or other business operations. Those providers may process information on GetCounselSEO's behalf according to their agreements, privacy terms, and applicable law.

Before launch, identify the actual providers in use and determine whether additional disclosures or contractual terms are required.

7. Sharing of Information

Information may be disclosed to service providers that help operate the website or business; when required by law, court order, or lawful process; to protect rights, safety, or security; or in connection with a business reorganization, merger, sale, or transfer where permitted by law.

This draft does not make a categorical promise about “selling” or “sharing” personal information because the final advertising, analytics, and tracking configuration has not yet been confirmed. The live policy should state the actual practice accurately and provide any legally required opt-out mechanisms.

8. Data Retention

Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, business recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, or legal obligations. The final retention practice should reflect the systems actually used.

9. Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards should be used based on the nature of the information and the systems involved. No website, email service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or certain uses/disclosures of personal information. You may also have choices regarding marketing communications and cookies.

Requests can be submitted through the site's contact page. Before launch, add the business's preferred privacy contact email or mailing address if legally or operationally required.

11. Third-Party Links

The website may link to third-party websites, platforms, directories, search engines, or tools. Their privacy practices are controlled by those third parties, not by this policy. Review their notices before providing personal information.

12. Children's Privacy

This website is directed to law firms and business professionals, not children. GetCounselSEO does not intentionally design the site to collect personal information from children. If the site's audience, services, or data practices change, this section should be reviewed for applicable children's privacy requirements.

13. International Visitors

Visitors may access the site from different countries. Information may be processed in countries where GetCounselSEO or its service providers operate. Applicable transfer, notice, consent, and privacy-right requirements should be reviewed based on the final business structure and vendor locations.

14. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated when website tools, data practices, services, or legal requirements change. The effective date should be updated when material changes are published.

15. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, use the GetCounselSEO contact page. Before launch, add a dedicated privacy email and any required business address/contact information.

Effective Date

Draft prepared: August 11, 2026. Confirm and replace with the actual effective date at launch.
