LEGAL & DATA GOVERNANCE

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 | Last Updated: October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Jiad Hassan, operating as California SEO Expert, collects, uses, protects, and handles your information when you visit californiaseoexpert.com or submit inquiries regarding SEO consulting services.

1. Overview and Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the website californiaseoexpert.com and all related professional communication channels operated by Jiad Hassan (“Consultant”, “I”, “me”, or “my”). I provide independent search engine optimization consulting services to businesses throughout California, operating remotely from Bangladesh.

I am committed to transparency, data integrity, and respecting the privacy of business owners, marketing managers, and website visitors who engage with this site. I collect only the minimum information necessary to communicate with prospective clients, evaluate website performance, and deliver professional consulting services.

2. Information Collected Through This Website

I collect information in two distinct ways: information you directly provide, and technical information collected automatically through standard server mechanisms.

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide:
When you reach out via email, WhatsApp, or through any consultation inquiry channels on this website, you may provide:

Your name and job title
Your business email address and telephone or WhatsApp number
Your company name, business category, and primary service area
Your website URL and domain details
Information regarding your organic search goals, current technical hurdles, and competitive landscape

B. Technical Server Information:
Like virtually all web servers, the hosting infrastructure serving this website automatically logs basic HTTP request data, including your IP address, browser type and version, referring URL, pages visited, and date/time stamps. This data is used solely for server maintenance, security monitoring, and network troubleshooting.

3. How Submitted Information Is Used

Any information you provide is used strictly for legitimate commercial consulting purposes, specifically:

Responding to your direct inquiries and scheduling diagnostic discovery calls
Performing preliminary manual evaluations of your website architecture and search visibility
Formulating tailored consulting scopes of work, project proposals, and technical audits
Delivering contracted SEO deliverables, client communications, and monthly performance reviews
Maintaining internal administrative, invoicing, and accounting records

I do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal or business information to third-party data brokers, advertising networks, or marketing lists under any circumstances.

4. Cookies and Web Technologies

This website employs only essential technical cookies necessary for core CMS functionality, session management, and font rendering. I do not run intrusive behavioral tracking pixels, third-party remarketing tags, or cross-site surveillance scripts.

You can configure your browser to reject cookies or alert you when cookies are being placed. If you disable cookies, the informational content on this website will remain fully accessible.

5. Data Protection, Security, and Confidentiality

I take reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect your business information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data transmitted between your browser and this website is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (HTTPS/TLS).

Furthermore, when clients grant read-only access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, or server diagnostics for consulting evaluations, that data is treated under strict commercial confidentiality and is never shared outside the scope of the engagement.

6. Data Retention Practices

I retain client communications, audit artifacts, and project records only as long as necessary to fulfill the commercial consulting engagement, provide ongoing support, comply with accounting and tax requirements, or resolve any contractual questions. When prospective inquiry records are no longer needed, they are securely purged from communication archives.

7. International Service Model & Data Transfers

My consulting practice operates remotely from Bangladesh, delivering specialized SEO strategy to commercial businesses located throughout California, USA. By communicating with me and providing your business details, you acknowledge and consent to the international transfer of your inquiry details solely for the purpose of receiving consulting evaluations and advisory services.

8. Your Privacy Rights and Inquiries

Depending on your jurisdiction, including California consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to request access to the personal data I hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate records, or request the deletion of your personal information from my communication archives.

To exercise any of these rights, please email me directly at jiad@californiaseoexpert.com. I review and respond to all genuine privacy inquiries promptly.
