Privacy policy.

Webolific ("we", "I") is an independent SEO consultancy based in South Wales, UK. This policy explains what personal data this website collects, why, and your rights. Contact for anything privacy-related: via the contact page.

What we collect and why

Contact form

When you submit the contact form we collect your name, email address, and anything you choose to include (phone number, website, message), plus your IP address. This is used solely to reply to your enquiry, on the lawful basis of legitimate interest (responding to a request you made). Enquiries are retained for up to 24 months, then deleted.

Spam protection (reCAPTCHA)

The contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which collects hardware and software information (such as device and application data) and sends it to Google to distinguish humans from bots. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Analytics cookies

With your consent (the banner you see on first visit), we use Google Tag Manager and analytics to understand which pages are useful — page views, approximate location, device type. Analytics is not loaded, and no analytics cookies are set, if you decline. You can change your mind by clearing this site's data in your browser, which will re-show the banner. We do not use advertising cookies and we do not sell data.

Location personalisation

The footer may personalise the list of areas served using your approximate town, derived from your IP address via a lookup to ipapi.co. The IP is processed transiently for this lookup and is not stored by us.

Server logs

Our hosting provider (IONOS) keeps standard server logs (IP address, pages requested, timestamps) for security and diagnostics, per their retention policies.

Sharing

Data is shared only with the processors that make the site work: IONOS (hosting and email), Google (reCAPTCHA, Tag Manager/analytics where consented), and ipapi.co (location lookup). We never sell or rent personal data.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict processing, and request portability. To exercise any of these, get in touch via the contact page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

This policy is provided in good faith and reviewed periodically; it is not legal advice.
