Privacy Policy

This policy applies to visitors and clients of raonoman.com, operated by Noman Mehmood (Rao Noman), Full Stack SEO specialist.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit raonoman.com, browse our portfolio, read our SEO services pages, or submit the contact form or free SEO audit request. We respect your privacy and handle personal data only for legitimate business purposes related to consulting, audits, and client communication.

By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site and do not submit forms that collect personal information.

Who We Are

The data controller for this website is Noman Mehmood, operating the brand Rao Noman / raonoman.com. For privacy-related questions, data requests, or corrections, please use the contact page on this website.

Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily. When you contact us or request a free SEO audit, you may submit your name, email address, phone number, website URL, industry or niche, goals, and message content. This information is sent through our secure form provider to our business inbox so we can respond to your inquiry.

Automatic technical data. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools may record non-identifying technical data such as IP address (often truncated or aggregated), browser type, device category, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate region. This helps us understand traffic patterns, fix errors, and improve site performance and content.

Local storage preferences. If you use the site color switcher, your accent color choice may be stored in your browser’s local storage so the site remembers your preference on return visits. This is not used to identify you across other websites.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to reply to messages, deliver free audit summaries, prepare proposals, perform contracted SEO services, send project updates you expect, and maintain client relationships. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may use aggregated or de-identified analytics to improve website content, internal linking, and user experience. Marketing communications are sent only where you have asked for information or where an existing client relationship makes follow-up reasonable; you may opt out of non-essential emails at any time.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable under privacy laws such as the GDPR, we process data based on: (1) your consent when you submit a form; (2) performance of a contract or steps prior to entering a contract when you engage our SEO services; (3) legitimate interests in operating and securing our website and business; and (4) compliance with legal obligations when required.

Sharing and Disclosure

We share information only with trusted service providers that help us operate the site and business—for example, form delivery (FormSubmit or similar), email hosting, website hosting (such as Hostinger), and analytics if enabled. These providers process data on our instructions and are expected to protect it appropriately.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or the rights of others. We do not share client strategy documents, Search Console exports, or confidential business details except as agreed in a written engagement or with your explicit permission.

Data Retention

Contact and audit form submissions are retained as long as needed to respond, pursue a legitimate business relationship, or meet record-keeping requirements. Inactive inquiry records may be deleted or anonymized after a reasonable period unless you become a client or request otherwise. Client project files are kept according to the service agreement and applicable tax or legal requirements.

Security

We use HTTPS on the live site, reputable hosting, and form providers that transmit submissions securely. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we encourage you not to send passwords or highly sensitive financial data through general contact forms. For signed engagements, we can agree on secure channels for credentials and analytics access.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. To exercise these rights, contact us through the contact page with enough detail for us to verify your request. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law.

You can control cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site appearance (for example, saved accent color) but core browsing should still work.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This site may use essential cookies required for security or hosting, and optional technologies for analytics or preference storage. Third-party embeds (such as social links opening external platforms) are governed by those platforms’ policies when you leave our site. We do not use cookies to sell personal information.

Third-Party Links

Our pages may link to Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, client websites, or tools such as Google Search Console in portfolio examples. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. Review their policies before submitting data on those platforms.

Children’s Privacy

This website and our SEO services are directed at businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has submitted data through our forms, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

International Visitors

Visitors from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, European Union, and other regions are welcome. Data may be processed in countries where our hosting and email providers operate. By using the site from outside your home country, you understand that protections may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, tools, or legal requirements change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective understanding at the top of the policy content. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
