Privacy Policy

1. Scope and operator

Aekpani Networks operates Aekpani SEO, including the public SiteScan, customer workspaces, reports, integrations, and billing workflows. This policy applies to information processed through those services. A customer remains responsible for information they upload or connect to their workspace and for having authority to do so.

2. Information we collect

Public scans

• The website address submitted for scanning, resolved pages, response data, detected SEO signals, scan results, timestamps, and technical status.
• A pseudonymous signed visitor identifier, IP address, and limited request information used to enforce the daily free-scan allowance and protect the service.

Accounts and workspaces

• Name, email address, password hash, email-verification status, account role, workspace membership, preferences, and authentication records.
• Websites, verification details, scans, issues, keywords, competitors, backlinks, content briefs, scheduled jobs, reports, and activity history created in a workspace.

Connected services

If you connect Google or a search-engine webmaster service, we process authorization tokens, property identifiers, and the search-performance or indexing data you authorize. Tokens are used only to provide the requested connection and synchronization.

Payments and support

For manual bank transfers, we process the selected plan, amount, reference, notes, receipt file, review status, and related account details. We do not ask you to upload card credentials or online-banking passwords. Support communications may include the details you choose to provide.

3. How we use information

• Provide scans, reports, monitoring, account access, integrations, and customer support.
• Verify ownership or authorized access, enforce plan limits, and maintain workspace permissions.
• Detect abuse, investigate errors, secure accounts, enforce free-scan limits, and maintain audit records.
• Review manual payments, activate subscriptions, and keep financial and operational records.
• Improve reliability, performance, usability, and the accuracy of deterministic SEO checks.
• Send essential service messages such as verification, password reset, payment status, and monitoring notifications.

4. Legal and operational grounds

We process information as needed to deliver the service you request, administer our agreement with you, protect the service and its users, comply with legal obligations, and pursue legitimate operational interests such as security and fraud prevention. Where consent is the appropriate basis, you may withdraw it, although a connected feature may then stop working.

5. Sharing and service providers

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with hosting, email, storage, monitoring, authentication, search-engine, and payment providers that help operate the service; with workspace members according to their permissions; with professional advisers; or where required to comply with law or protect rights and safety. Connected providers also process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

6. Storage, security, and international processing

We use access controls, hashed passwords, signed cookies, private receipt storage, encrypted transport, role-based permissions, and logging appropriate to the service. No system is completely secure. Information may be processed where our infrastructure or service providers operate, subject to reasonable contractual and technical safeguards.

7. Retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain security and business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Retention varies by record type. Account content may remain until the account or relevant item is deleted; security and payment records may be retained longer. Backup copies can persist for a limited recovery period. Public scan results may be cached to improve speed and reduce repeated requests to a target website.

8. Your choices and requests

You may request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information associated with you, or object to certain processing. We may need to verify identity and may retain information required for security, legal compliance, payment records, or dispute resolution. Workspace owners should first manage their own members and content through account controls.

9. Children

The service is intended for businesses and people able to enter a binding agreement. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly request personal information from children.

10. Policy changes

We may update this policy as the product, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated date will appear above. Material changes may also be communicated within the service or by email.
