At SEOLinkScan (accessible at https://seolinkscan.com), your privacy is one of our primary commitments. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how we securely handle and utilize that data, and the legal choices available to you regarding your personal information.
If you have any questions or require additional details regarding our privacy practices, please reach out to our team at support@seolinkscan.com or via our Contact page.
1. Information We Collect
To provide high-performance, free SEO and webmaster utilities without requiring user registration, we collect minimal data:
- Target URLs Submitted for Diagnostics: When you input a website URL into our broken link scanner, internal link mapper, CMS detector, or PageSpeed checker, we crawl and test that specific URL and its linked pages to generate your diagnostic report.
- Server Log Files: Like standard web platforms, our web servers log basic visitor metadata. This includes your IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and click counts. This telemetry is anonymized and never linked to personally identifiable information.
- Abuse Prevention & Rate Limiting: To safeguard our servers from distributed scraping and bot attacks, an anonymized hash of your IP is cached temporarily to enforce our daily scan allowance. This counter resets automatically every 24 hours.
- Direct Inquiries: If you send us feedback or a support ticket through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message contents strictly to fulfill your request.
2. Purpose of Data Processing
We process collected data under legitimate business interests and necessary operational requirements, including:
- Executing automated broken link scans, Core Web Vitals checks, and website audits on demand.
- Maintaining platform stability, server security, and preventing denial-of-service attempts.
- Analyzing anonymous usage trends to optimize tool speed and usability.
- Delivering non-personalized or contextual advertising to keep the platform free for everyone.
