Privacy Policy

Everything below this section is the same four points written at legal length. If you only read one part, read this one.

• No analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising cookies. Not a reduced set — none at all. This site does not measure you.
• The only thing stored about you is what you type into the contact form, and only if you choose to send it.
• Nothing is sold and nothing is shared with anyone outside the short list of service providers in section 06.
• You can ask me to delete it at any time, and I will, unless I am legally required to keep it.

There is no cookie banner on this site because there is nothing to consent to. See section 05 — it is the shortest section here for a reason.

This site is operated by an independent SEO consultant working on guest posting and link building. For the purposes of data protection law, I am the person responsible for the information described in this policy.

Questions about this policy, or a request to see or delete what I hold, go to the address above. It reaches me directly rather than a shared inbox.

It is worth separating two things that most policies blur together: what a site gathers about you automatically as you browse, and what you actively hand over. On this site the first list is essentially empty.

Collected automatically: nothing. There is no analytics package on this site. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no Vercel Analytics, no Meta pixel, no LinkedIn insight tag, no heatmap or session-recording tool. Your visit is not counted, timed, or attributed to a source.

Collected because you sent it: whatever you enter into the contact form. That is set out field by field in section 04.

One unavoidable exception, stated plainly: my hosting provider keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses. I do not read them, query them, or connect them to anything else — but they exist, and a policy that claimed otherwise would be wrong.

The form asks different questions depending on what you are getting in touch about. Every field exists to answer a question I would otherwise have to ask you by email, and nothing is asked that does not change my reply.

Name and email

So I can reply, and address you properly when I do. Required on every version of the form.

Website or domain

The subject of the work. On the free-look version this is the only thing I need.

Target pages

The URLs you want to rank. This decides which sites are worth pitching, which is the substance of the reply.

Volume and timeline

Whether what you are after is something I can actually deliver in the time you have.

Link history

Whether links have been bought before. It changes what the first month of work is, and it is never used as anything but that.

Anything else

Optional, free text. Send as much or as little as you like.

What you send is used to answer you and to decide whether the work is a fit. It is not added to a mailing list, not passed to any other party, and not used to contact you about anything you did not ask about.

This site sets no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no third-party cookies of any kind. There is nothing here that follows you to another site.

• Your light or dark preference is stored in your browser's local storage — not a cookie, never sent to a server, and cleared whenever you clear site data.
• A sign-in session cookie exists on the private admin area of this site. It is issued only to me when I log in to edit content. A visitor never receives one.

That is the complete list, which is why you were not asked to accept anything on arrival. No consent banner is shown because there is no non-essential cookie to consent to.

Running a website means a small number of companies necessarily handle data on my behalf. They are listed here by role rather than left implied, and each is bound by its own agreement to process data only as instructed.

Hosting

Serves the pages and keeps standard server logs, as described in section 03.

Database

Supabase, which stores the site's own content — articles, case studies, testimonials. It holds no visitor records.

Email

My email provider, which carries any correspondence between us in the ordinary way.

Your information is never sold, rented, traded, or provided to advertisers or data brokers. There is no arrangement of that kind and there will not be one.

The one remaining case is legal compulsion: if a valid legal order required disclosure, I would have to comply. It has never happened.

Indefinite retention is the default almost everywhere, and it is a bad default. These are the periods I actually work to.

An enquiry that goes nowhere

Deleted within twelve months. Most are gone well before that.

An enquiry that becomes work

Kept for the engagement, then as long as tax and accounting rules require.

Correspondence

Kept while there is a reason to have it, and cleared out periodically.

Server logs

Held on my host's own retention schedule, typically a short rolling window.

If you would rather not wait for any of that, ask and I will delete it sooner. Section 08 covers how.

Depending on where you live, some of these are legal rights and others are simply how I would prefer to work. I do not intend to draw a line between the two — if you ask for any of the following, you get it.

• A copy of what I hold about you. Usually a short email, because there is not much.
• A correction, if something is wrong.
• Deletion. I will remove it unless I am legally required to keep it, in which case I will tell you which part and why.
• A copy in a portable format, if you want to take it elsewhere.
• An objection, if you disagree with something being held at all.

Email hello@tanzeel.com and say what you want done. There is no form to fill in and no account to create. I aim to reply within a few days and to have it resolved within thirty.

If you are not satisfied with how I have handled a request, you are entitled to raise it with the data protection authority in [Country] or in your own country of residence.

If what this site does changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves. That date is maintained deliberately — it is the only way you can tell whether what you are reading is current.

Nothing here is applied retroactively in a way that reduces protection for information already sent. If a change ever did that, I would say so at the top of the page rather than leave you to compare versions.

Anything unclear, or anything you think is wrong: hello@tanzeel.com. A question about a privacy policy is a reasonable thing to send and it will get a real answer.
