Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 31, 2026
1. What We Collect
Account information — your email address, provided when you run an audit or create an account.
Google Search Console data — if you connect GSC, we access your top keywords, clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position via read-only OAuth (scope: webmasters.readonly). We never modify your Search Console data.
Session data — your IP address and user agent are stored with your session for security and rate limiting.
Usage data — which keywords you click or interact with inside the dashboard.
2. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to:
- Deliver SEO audit results and keyword scoring
- Send transactional emails (audit results, password reset, billing notices)
- Process payments and manage your subscription
- Rate-limit audit requests (3 per day per IP) to prevent abuse
- Improve the scoring engine and product experience
We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.
3. Third-Party Services
We share limited data with the following services to operate SEO Triage:
- DataForSEO — we send keywords and location codes to fetch SERP data, search volume, and keyword difficulty. No personal information is sent.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookies.
5. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on self-hosted infrastructure. GSC OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest. All connections use HTTPS. Passwords are hashed — we never store them in plain text.
