This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information submitted through our website, forms, and digital tools.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you interact with our website:

• Contact & enquiry forms — name, phone number, email address, business name, and message
• Consultation requests — project type, budget range, city, and requirements
• Keyword ranking tool — domain name and keyword entered for checking
• Google Search Console integration — OAuth token used to read your GSC data (read-only; we never modify your GSC account)

We do not collect payment card information directly. We do not run tracking pixels or third-party advertising cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Send you a confirmation email after form submission
• Improve our services and website experience

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Google OAuth & Search Console Data

Our keyword ranking feature uses Google OAuth 2.0 to access your Google Search Console data. When you authorize access:

• We request read-only access to your Search Console properties
• Your access token is stored only in your browser session and expires automatically
• We do not store, log, or transmit your GSC data to any external server
• You can revoke access at any time via your Google Account permissions

Our use of Google API data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

5. Data Storage & Security

Lead and enquiry data submitted through our forms is stored in a secured database hosted on Hostinger's servers located in the European Union. Access to this data is restricted to authorised Markvyo personnel only.

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, password hashing, and session management to protect your information.

6. Cookies

Our website uses minimal, functional cookies only — specifically PHP session cookies required for the Google Search Console integration. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.
