Please read this policy to understand how we collect and process your personal information.
Data Protection Principles
AT SEO complies with the rules outlined in the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR). The principles we follow for processing personal information are:
- Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: When collecting and using people’s information, you should be open and honest about it, and they should know what you’re doing with their data.
- Purpose Limitation: Only collect data for a specific and reasonable purpose, and don’t use it for anything else without permission.
- Data Minimisation: Only collect the information that’s necessary for your purpose and don’t go overboard.
- Accuracy: Keep the data accurate, and if you find mistakes, fix them.
- Storage Limitation: Don’t hold onto people’s information longer than you have to. When you don’t need it anymore, get rid of it safely.
- Integrity and Confidentiality: Protect the data from being accessed or stolen by unauthorised people.
- Accountability and Transparency: Make sure you do what the law says and show that you’re doing it right.
- Data Subject’s Rights: People have rights over their data, like the right to see it, change it if it’s wrong, or even ask you to delete it.
We take your privacy and security very seriously. We’ll always stick to these principles and make sure to ask how you’d prefer us to get in touch with you. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) oversees GDPR compliance. You can find more details at the end of this page.

Why Do We Collect Your Data?
Ever wonder why we’re interested in your data? Well, it’s all about understanding your needs and preferences. When we gather your information, it helps us tailor our offers and services to suit your interests.
Cookies and IP Addresses
Let’s talk cookies. No, not the ones you eat, but the ones your web browser encounters. These are like little files that contain an identifier, a mix of letters and numbers. Websites send them to your browser, and your browser stores them. Every time you request a page from the website, it sends that identifier back.
These cookies are useful for web servers to track your journey across their site and recognise you when you return. There are two types: persistent cookies, which stick around until a specified expiry date (unless you delete them), and session cookies, which call it a day when you close your browser.
Essential Cookies
Some cookies are crucial for our website to run smoothly. Without them, certain parts, like contact forms, wouldn’t work as they should.
Analytical Cookies
We also use analytical cookies to keep an eye on how you use our website. They help us serve you better and highlight areas that might need a little maintenance.
Third Party Cookies
You might be wondering about IP addresses. They’re like your digital postal code and can tell us about your Internet Service Provider and location. Don’t worry; they can’t spill your personal details.
Taking Control of Cookies
Here’s the deal: you’re in control when it comes to cookies. You don’t have to accept them if you don’t want to. Your browser allows you to see, manage, or block cookies. But here’s the catch – disabling cookies may impact your web experience, potentially slowing things down.
You can customise your cookie settings too. Maybe you want to cancel those third-party cookies or even pick and choose which companies can drop cookies on your device. It’s all up to you.

Opting Out of Online Behavioral Advertising
