Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Long Island SEO Company is a search engine optimization agency serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York. We operate this website (longislandseocompany.co) and provide local SEO, technical SEO, content, and link building services to businesses.

This website is operated by Danish Mehmood. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at hello@longislandseocompany.co.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide to us. When you submit our audit request form (on the contact page or a pricing popup), we collect:

• Your name
• Your business name
• Your email address
• Your phone number (only if you choose to provide it)
• Your website URL (only if you choose to provide it)
• What you want to rank for, and any other details you include in your message
• Which pricing plan you selected (if you submit from a pricing popup)

Information we collect automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and our analytics tools may automatically log basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages visited. We use this data in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site — not to identify you personally.

3. How we use your information

We use the information you provide for the following purposes:

• To respond to your audit request and prepare your SEO audit
• To communicate with you about our services, pricing, and proposals
• To perform the SEO services you engage us for
• To send you relevant updates about your campaign (if you become a client)
• To improve our website and services

We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent, trade, or disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Ever.

4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

• Consent — you provide your details voluntarily through our forms
• Legitimate interest — responding to business inquiries and providing the services you requested
• Contract — where processing is necessary to perform an agreement with you

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting hello@longislandseocompany.co.

5. How your form data is transmitted

Our forms are processed by FormSubmit.co, a third-party form-to-email service. When you submit a form, your information is transmitted securely (HTTPS) to FormSubmit and delivered to us by email. FormSubmit's handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policy. We do not store form submissions in any database on this website.

6. Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Essential operation — cookies required for the site to function
• Analytics — to understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g., which pages are visited, how long visitors stay)
• Google Fonts — the site loads fonts from Google's CDN; Google's privacy policy applies to that connection

We do not use cookies for advertising or for building profiles of individual visitors. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without breaking the core functionality of this site.

7. How long we keep your information

We keep your information only as long as needed to fulfill the purpose it was collected for:

• Inquiries we don't work with: up to 12 months, so we can follow up if you return
• Active clients: for the duration of the engagement plus a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping and legal obligations (typically 6 years for tax/accounting records)

When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

8. Who we share data with

We share your information only with the service providers needed to run the business:

• FormSubmit.co — form processing (transmits your inquiry to our email)
• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, and security (handles traffic data)
• Email provider — to receive and manage the inquiries sent to hello@longislandseocompany.co
• Analytics provider — aggregate site usage statistics (no personal identifiers)

We will never share your information with another marketing agency or lead-buyer. If required by law, we will disclose information only to the extent required.

9. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information: HTTPS encryption in transit, access limited to the people who need it to respond to you, and password-protected email and accounts. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we follow industry-standard practices.

10. International data transfers

Your information may be processed by service providers (such as FormSubmit, Cloudflare, and our email provider) that operate servers in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required by law, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the provider's certification under applicable frameworks.

11. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion — ask us to delete your personal data
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data
• Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interest
• Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent
• Complaint — lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@longislandseocompany.co. We respond to all verified requests within 30 days.

12. Children's privacy

This website is intended for business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Third-party links

This website may link to third-party sites (e.g., Google, directories). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be announced on this page — we recommend checking back periodically.
