Privacy Policy

Short version: we collect what we need to check your rankings and do the work you paid for. We do not sell your data, and we do not send you anything you did not ask for.

1. Who we are

1.1 MAPS SEO LIMITED (Companies House 17040615), registered in England & Wales, registered office Suite 20877, 5 Brayford Square, London E1 0SG. We are the data controller for the information described here.

1.2 Questions, or want your data deleted? Email contact us and a human will answer.

2. What we collect, and why

2.1 Free rank check. The search you want to win, your business name or Google Maps link, and your email — so we can run the check by hand and send you the result.

2.2 Your account. Name, email, phone number — so you can sign in and we can reach you about your order.

2.3 Your order. Business name, contact name, a short description, your Google Maps link, the area you want to be found in, and your target keywords — this is the work brief.

2.4 Ranking data. The positions we measure for your keywords across your service area. This is generated by us, kept in your panel, and yours to download.

2.5 Payment. Card payments run on Stripe. Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers — we only see that a payment succeeded, and the amount.

3. Business outreach

3.1 If we contacted you first, we used your business contact details from a published source — your own website, your Google Business Profile or a public register — under legitimate interest, business to business.

3.2 Every outreach email carries a one-click opt-out. Use it and we stop, permanently. You can also just reply and say so.

4. Who else sees it

4.1 The services that run our business: Stripe (payments), Resend and Google Workspace (email), Cloudflare (site delivery and security), and our own UK-facing server. Each sees only what it needs.

4.2 We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for anyone else's advertising.

5. How long we keep it

5.1 Account, order and ranking data: while you are a customer and for six years after, because HMRC requires business records to be kept that long.

5.2 Free rank check enquiries that never become orders: two years, then deleted.

5.3 Opt-out records: kept indefinitely, because that is the only way to guarantee we never email you again.

6. Your rights

6.1 You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email contact us — we will action it within 30 days and we will not ask you why.

6.2 If you think we have handled your data badly you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). We would rather you told us first so we can fix it.

7. Cookies

7.1 We use the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to keep the site secure. Analytics cookies only run if you accept them, and you can change your mind at any time.

8. Changes

8.1 If we change this policy we update the version and date at the top of this page.
