Privacy Policy

Who we are

This privacy policy explains how [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us", "our") collects and uses personal data when you visit link-building-uk.com or contact us about UK link building services.

We are the data controller for personal data described in this policy. Our registered address is [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. For privacy enquiries, email [CONTACT EMAIL].

Link Building UK operates as part of INTSEO Media. Where we deliver services jointly with group companies, we will identify the relevant controller in your contract or proposal.

What data we collect

Contact form: when you submit our contact form, we receive the fields you complete, typically including your name, email address, company name, website URL, and message content. Submissions are processed through Formspree, our form delivery provider.

Technical data: when you browse the site, our hosting and server logs may record IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and pages viewed. We use this data for security, debugging, and aggregate performance understanding.

Correspondence: if you email us or continue a conversation after the form, we keep the content needed to respond and deliver services.

We do not intentionally collect special category data through the website. Please do not send sensitive personal data via the contact form unless we ask for it and you agree to the processing.

How we use your data

We use personal data to respond to enquiries, prepare quotes, deliver link building services, manage client relationships, issue invoices where applicable, and improve how the site functions.

We may use your email to send administrative messages about an active project. We do not sell personal data. We do not use contact form submissions for unrelated marketing lists unless you opt in separately and we document that consent.

Legal bases under UK GDPR include: performance of a contract or steps at your request before a contract; legitimate interests in operating a B2B service, securing the site, and responding to enquiries, balanced against your rights; and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

Formspree and other processors

Contact form submissions are transmitted to Formspree (Formspree, Inc.) so we can receive your message by email. Formspree acts as a processor on our instructions for that transmission. Their handling of data is governed by their terms and privacy documentation.

We use hosting, email, and business tools from third-party providers. Those providers process data only as needed to deliver their service to us. We select vendors with appropriate security measures and contractual terms where required.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our cookie policy describes cookies and similar technologies in more detail. In summary, this site is intended to rely on essential cookies and similar storage required for basic operation and security. We do not use advertising or analytics tracking cookies on this site unless we update the cookie policy and, where required, obtain consent.

Retention

Enquiry data is kept for as long as needed to respond and, if you become a client, for the duration of the relationship and a reasonable period afterwards for legal, tax, and dispute purposes.

Server logs are retained for a limited period unless needed for security investigation. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal requirement.

Sharing and international transfers

We share personal data with service providers who assist with hosting, form delivery, email, and project management. We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Some processors may store or process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that occurs, we use appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent mechanisms recognised under UK data protection law.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and data portability where applicable.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom if you believe our processing violates data protection law. We encourage you to contact us first at [CONTACT EMAIL] so we can try to resolve your concern.

Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No online transmission is completely secure. You provide information at your own risk when using the contact form or email.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Material changes may be noted on the site where appropriate.
