We use the minimal information collected only for these specific purposes:

• To display your approximate location and IP in the app topbar (cosmetic only)
• To run SEO analysis calculations entirely on your device (no server involved)
• To save your audit history locally on your device for your convenience
• To enforce the 3 free analyses per month limit on the free plan
• To respond to your customer support enquiries via email
• To show relevant advertisements to free plan users via Google AdMob
• To verify and process in-app subscription purchases via Apple/Google
• To improve app performance and fix technical issues

On-Device Storage (localStorage & Cookies):
All SEO analysis data, audit history (last 20 results), and usage counts are stored exclusively in your device's browser localStorage and cookies. This data:

• Never leaves your device
• Is not transmitted to our servers
• Can be deleted by clearing your browser/app data at any time
• Usage counts reset automatically on the 1st of each month

Contact Form Data:
When you submit the contact form, your name, email, and message are transmitted securely via Web3Forms to our email address (iamnitindeshmukh@gmail.com). We retain this correspondence for up to 2 years for support purposes only.

We operate NO databases storing user SEO audit results, analyzed URLs, or behavioral data. All such data lives only on your device.

The free plan of SeoAiPilot is supported by advertisements served by Google AdMob. Paid subscribers (Standard and Premium plans) are completely ad-free.

What AdMob may collect from free users:

• Advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, GAID on Android) — with your permission
• General location (country/city level, not GPS)
• Device information (type, OS version, screen size)
• Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks)

App Tracking Transparency (iOS):
On iOS 14+, we request your permission via Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework before allowing AdMob to use your Advertising Identifier (IDFA) for personalized ads. You can change this permission anytime in:
iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking

Opt out of personalized ads:
iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → Turn off
Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Delete advertising ID

SeoAiPilot offers optional paid subscriptions:

• Standard Plan: $9.99 / 3 months — 60 analyses, no ads
• Premium Plan: $24.99 / year — 300 analyses, no ads, all features

Payment Processing:
All payments are processed exclusively through Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). SeoAiPilot does NOT:

• Process payments directly
• Store your credit card, debit card, or UPI information
• Access your Apple/Google payment details
• Handle refunds directly (contact Apple/Google for refunds)

Subscription management, billing history, and cancellations are handled through:

• iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions
• Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & Subscriptions

SeoAiPilot integrates these third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:

SeoAiPilot uses browser localStorage, sessionStorage, and cookies stored entirely on your device to maintain app functionality. No tracking cookies are used to follow you across other websites.

AdMob may also set its own cookies/identifiers for ad serving. See Google's Cookies Policy for details.

SeoAiPilot is designed for users aged 13 and older (or the minimum digital age of consent in your country). The app is an SEO analysis tool intended for website owners, developers, digital marketers, and businesses.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information through our contact form, we will delete such information immediately.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted information through our contact form, please contact us immediately at iamnitindeshmukh@gmail.com.

You have the following rights regarding your data:

Since all SEO analysis data is stored locally on YOUR device and never transmitted to us, you have full control over it at all times. To exercise any rights above, contact us at iamnitindeshmukh@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any information we handle:

• All data transmitted via contact form uses HTTPS encryption
• Web3Forms uses encrypted API endpoints for form submissions
• No sensitive data (passwords, payment info) is ever stored by us
• SEO analysis data never leaves your device — zero server exposure risk
• Usage tracking keys are obfuscated in local storage
• Payment data is handled exclusively by Apple/Google — PCI DSS compliant

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons.

• The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision
• For significant changes, we will notify users via an in-app notification
• Continued use of SeoAiPilot after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy
• Previous versions of this policy are available upon request

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
