Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 21, 2026.

We run a local SEO agency. We optimize Google Business Profiles. We track local search metrics. We also respect your privacy. This page outlines exactly what data gbpfaster.com collects, why we collect it, and how we protect it. No legal jargon. No hidden clauses. Just plain English.

What We Collect When You Visit

When you land on this site, we gather specific information. We split this into two distinct categories. First, the data you actively provide. Second, the data our systems collect automatically.

If you fill out our contact form for a local SEO audit, you hand over your name, your email address, and your website URL. You usually include your Google Business Profile map link. We need these exact details to evaluate your current map pack positioning. We look at your review velocity. We check your NAP consistency across primary data aggregators. We cannot do that work without your specific business details.

Then we have automated data. Our servers log your IP address, browser type, and the exact time of your visit. Every website does this. We use it to keep the site secure and monitor traffic patterns.

How We Use Your Information

We use your email to send you the audit you requested. If you ask us why your service area business vanished from local search, we reply with our findings. We do not add you to a daily newsletter without your explicit consent.

We send occasional updates regarding major Google algorithm shifts. If a new proximity signal update rolls out, we tell our subscribers. You can opt out of those emails instantly. Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom. We remove you from the list immediately.

We never sell your contact details. We despise the practice of trading lead lists. We refuse to participate in it. Your data stays strictly with us.

Cookies and Analytics

We deploy cookies on gbpfaster.com. These small text files sit on your device. They make the site function correctly. They also help us separate the signal from the noise.

We run Google Analytics and Google Search Console. These tools track user behavior across our pages. We watch which local SEO guides actually help readers and which ones cause them to bounce. If our guide on optimizing GBP Q&A sections gets zero traction, the analytics data tells us to rewrite it. We use this information strictly to improve content quality. We want to publish material that solves real local search problems.

We use functional cookies to remember your preferences. If you dismiss a notification banner, a cookie ensures it stays hidden on your next visit.

You retain full control over this process. You can disable cookies in your browser settings right now. The site will still load. You can still read our guides. You just might have to re-enter your details on our contact form the next time you request an audit.

Third-Party Data Sharing

We share data only with the essential infrastructure providers that keep this agency operational. Our hosting company processes basic server logs. Our email service provider routes our outgoing messages. Our CRM software stores your contact details securely.

We vet these providers strictly. They comply with major data protection regulations. They do not have permission to use your data for their own marketing.

We do not trade your information with other marketing agencies. We do not rent your email address to software vendors.

If a law enforcement agency presents a valid, legally binding subpoena, we comply. We follow the law. Outside of that specific scenario, your data remains locked down.

Data Retention

We do not hoard old data. We keep your contact information only as long as we have an active working relationship.

If you reach out for a citation audit, review the results, and decide to handle the optimization yourself, we close your file. We delete your specific business details from our active CRM after 90 days. We keep a basic anonymized record of the inquiry for our internal conversion tracking.

Analytics data aggregates over time. It loses individual identifiers almost immediately. Google Analytics automatically purges user-level data after 14 months.

External Links

We link out to other websites frequently. We point you toward Google’s official documentation. We link to citation directories like Yelp or industry-specific aggregators. We reference local SEO testing tools.

We do not control those external sites. We hold no responsibility for their privacy practices. When you click a link and leave gbpfaster.com, this policy no longer applies. Read their privacy policies before you hand over your business details.

Your Rights Regarding Your Data

You own your personal information. You dictate what happens to it. We respect your rights completely.

The right to access. You can request a full copy of the data we hold on you. Ask us, and we will export your file.
The right to deletion. You can demand immediate erasure. Tell us to delete your record, and we wipe it from our systems.
The right to correction. You can fix inaccurate details. If you rebrand your HVAC company or change your primary agency email, let us know. We update our records to maintain accuracy.
The right to restriction. You can ask us to hold your data but stop actively using it
