Privacy Policy

Introduction

Emerald Dreams SEO ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website www.emeralddreamsseo.com.

Information We Collect 

We may collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you fill out forms (like contact or quote requests), sign up for services, or reach out to us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, or other details you choose to share. This helps us respond and deliver what you’ve asked for—some fields might be required, but it’s up to you to provide the rest. Under the GDPR (for EU visitors) and CCPA (for California residents), this counts as personal data you’ve actively given us, and you have rights over it—see ‘Your Privacy Rights’ below.
• Usage Data & Analytics: We automatically gather info about your device and how you browse our site—like your IP address, browser type, pages you visit, and where you came from (referring URLs). This powers tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel to improve our site and tailor your experience. For GDPR, we treat IP addresses as personal data and process them based on our legitimate interest in site optimization. For CCPA, this may be ‘personal information’ sold to third-party analytics providers—check ‘Data Sharing & Security’ for more.
• Cookies & Tracking Technologies: See below.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and improve our website and services
• To personalize your experience and analyze visitor trends
• To communicate with you about inquiries, promotions, or updates
• To monitor and prevent fraud, security breaches, or unauthorized access

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tech (like web beacons) to:

• Analyze site traffic with tools like Google Analytics
• Remember your preferences
• Keep the site running smoothly and user-friendly
  For example, cookies help track visits and show you relevant ads via Facebook Pixel. You’re okay with this by using our site, but you can manage or turn off cookies in your browser settings—check www.allaboutcookies.org for how-tos. Under GDPR, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies (like analytics and ads), which you can withdraw anytime. Under CCPA, you can opt out of these being ‘sold’ to third parties—see ‘Your Privacy Rights’ for options.
  
  

Third-Party Services

We team up with third-party services for analytics and marketing. They might collect data about how you use our site, like:

• Google Analytics (tracks visitor trends with stuff like IP addresses and page views)
• Facebook Pixel (helps us remarket and measure ad performance)
• These partners process this info under their own privacy policies—see Google’s and Facebook’s for details. For GDPR, we’ve got agreements with these providers to protect your data as ‘data processors.’ For CCPA, sharing with them might be considered a ‘sale’ of personal info, but you can opt out—check ‘Your Privacy Rights.’

Data Sharing & Security

We don’t sell, rent, or trade your personal info in the traditional sense. We only share data with:

• Service providers assisting in website operations (e.g., analytics like Google Analytics, hosting)
• Legal authorities if required by law or for fraud prevention
• For GDPR, we process data based on legitimate interests (e.g., site improvement) or your consent (e.g., cookies), and third-party providers are bound by data protection agreements. For CCPA, sharing usage data with analytics tools like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel might count as a ‘sale’—you can opt out under ‘Your Privacy Rights.’ We take reasonable measures to protect your data but can’t guarantee complete security due to internet risks.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you’re at, you might have rights like:

• Accessing, updating, or deleting your personal info
• Opting out of ad-related data collection
  For example, you can ditch Google Analytics tracking with their add-on here or tweak Facebook ads in your account settings.
• GDPR (EU Visitors): You’ve got the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, or request it be transferred elsewhere. We process personal data based on consent (e.g., cookies) or legitimate interests (e.g., analytics for site improvement).
• CCPA (California Residents): You can request to know what personal info we’ve collected, sold, or shared in the past 12 months, delete it, or opt out of its ‘sale’ to third parties like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel. We don’t charge you more for exercising these rights.

To use these rights or ask about your data, email us at contact@emeralddreamsseo.com—we’ll respond within 30 days (or 45 for CCPA if we need extra time).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with a new "Effective Date." Your continued use of our website indicates acceptance of these changes.
