Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Prashant Sharma, an independent local SEO consultant based in Jaipur, India ("we", "us", "our"). For any privacy-related queries, email hello@hiprashant.com.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to deliver our services and improve the site.

• Contact information you submit through forms, email or call — name, email, phone number, business name and website URL.
• Engagement data if you become a client — Google Business Profile access, analytics access, billing details and project communication.
• Usage data collected automatically — IP address, browser, device, referrer, pages viewed and time spent, via privacy-respecting analytics.
• Cookies for essential site functionality and anonymized analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

3. How we use your information

• To respond to enquiries and provide the local SEO services you request.
• To manage client engagements, billing and project reporting.
• To improve the website, fix issues and understand which content is useful.
• To send service updates, reports and (with consent) occasional educational emails.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal basis

We process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, performance of a contract with you, our legitimate interests in running this business, and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited information only with trusted service providers strictly to operate this business — for example, hosting (Cloudflare), analytics, email delivery, payment processors and Google services. Each provider is bound by their own privacy policies and contractual data-protection obligations.

6. Data retention

We retain client and engagement information for as long as the engagement is active and for up to seven years afterwards to meet tax, accounting and dispute-resolution requirements. Marketing contacts are kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain uses. To exercise these rights, email hello@hiprashant.com and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls, and limited admin privileges. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure — please do not send sensitive information by email.

9. Children

This website and our services are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will always reflect the current version. Significant changes will be communicated to active clients by email.
