Privacy Introduction
At GEO Search & Social, we value your privacy and are fully committed to protecting your data. This page outlines how we collect, use, and manage cookies and other tracking technologies on our website, in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Use of Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and serve personalized content. You have complete control over your cookie preferences, which can be managed at any time through the Cookiebot consent banner on our site.
Cookiebot
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
We use CookieYes to manage cookie consent, ensuring our website is GDPR compliant. Upon your first visit, you are prompted to accept or deny different categories of cookies. Only necessary cookies are loaded by default—remaining cookies are activated only after your explicit consent.
You can review or modify your cookie settings at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page.
Google Tag Manager (GTM)
GEO Search & Social leverages Google Tag Manager to manage marketing and analytics tags efficiently. Any tags that set cookies or process personal data are only activated if you have provided your consent via Cookiebot.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand website usage while maintaining user privacy. GA4 is configured with IP anonymization, and no data is collected unless you have consented. Information collected may include anonymized website usage and technical data (such as browser type, device model, etc.).
Embedded content from other websites
We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy and to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Anonymous analytical data (such as aggregate statistics) may be kept for analysis and site improvement, but will not identify you personally.
If you request the deletion of your data or withdraw your consent, we will erase your personal information promptly, except where continued retention is required by law.
Who we share your data with
GEO Search & Social does not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties. The only exceptions are:
- Trusted service providers (such as Cookiebot and Google Analytics 4) who help us operate our website and who are contractually required to process data in compliance with GDPR.
- Legal requests by law enforcement agencies are only made where required by law.
We maintain strict controls to ensure that third-party partners meet our data protection standards.
How long we retain your data
We only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy and to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Anonymous analytical data (such as aggregate statistics) may be kept for analysis and site improvement, but will not identify you personally.
If you request the deletion of your data or withdraw your consent, we will erase your personal information promptly, except where continued retention is required by law.
Why We Don’t Use Paid Ads
We focus on honest, organic growth and genuine user engagement rather than intrusive advertising. As a company, GEO Search & Social does not use paid advertising, retargeting, or third-party ad networks of any kind.
Why We Don’t Use Email Marketing
We believe that your inbox should be free of unwanted commercial messages. GEO Search & Social does not engage in email marketing, newsletters, or promotional mail-outs. You will only hear from us if you contact us directly.
Our Hatred for Spam
We have a strong aversion to spam, both as individuals and as an organization. We pledge never to spam you or your data. We view spam as an intrusion on digital freedom, and we design our practices to prevent unwanted contact and maintain your online peace of mind.
Your Rights
As a user, under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Be informed about what data we collect and how it is used
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccuracies in your data
- Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Restrict or object to data processing
- Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the legality of previous processing
To exercise your rights, please get in touch with us.
Data Security
At GEO Search & Social, we employ appropriate security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and potential breaches.
