Privacy policy
How information is handled when you visit this website or contact me.
Who I am
This website, seowebsiteanalysis.co.uk, is operated by Michael J. Stewart, an independent SEO consultant in the United Kingdom. For privacy enquiries, please email me.
What information I receive
There is no contact form or visitor account on this website. If you choose to email me, I receive the address you write from and anything you include in your message. My hosting provider may also process technical data, such as IP addresses, browser information and request times, in server logs for site operation and security.
Why I use information
I use correspondence to respond to enquiries, discuss potential work and provide agreed services. Depending on the circumstances, the lawful basis may be my legitimate interests in handling business correspondence, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract and performing a contract. Information needed to meet statutory accounting or other legal requirements is handled on the basis of legal obligation.
Technical log data may be processed for the legitimate interests of keeping the website available, secure and functioning correctly.
Cookies and tracking
The static pages in this website package do not themselves set analytics or advertising cookies, include a contact form, or store a light/dark theme preference. The email link is assembled in your browser when you select it; this does not send your enquiry through the website.
Hosting infrastructure or other services may still use essential technical cookies or process server logs. This policy must be reviewed if analytics, advertising tags, embedded third-party media or other tracking technologies are added.
Sharing and international processing
Information may be handled by service providers needed to run the website, deliver email or provide business services, and disclosed if required by law. Any transfers outside the UK must be assessed against the safeguards and requirements applicable to the service being used.
How long information is kept
I keep enquiries and business correspondence only for as long as needed for their purpose, including any ongoing business relationship or applicable legal and record-keeping obligations. Technical server-log retention is determined by the hosting configuration. You can ask me about retention of information relating to you.
Your rights and complaints
Subject to the circumstances and applicable exemptions, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your personal information, restrict its use, object to certain processing, or request data portability. You can contact me using the email link above to exercise these rights or raise a concern.
You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk.
Updates
Last updated: 8 November 2026. This notice describes the static website package as supplied and should be checked against the actual hosting, email, analytics and retention arrangements before publication.
