The Reality of Your Data Privacy
You run a business in Durham. You care about who holds your data. We feel the exact same way. This privacy policy explains exactly what happens when you visit durhamlocalseo.com. We wrote this in plain English. No legal jargon. No blind spots. Just the operational reality of how we handle your information. The effective date of this document is May 18, 2026.

The Information We Actually Collect
We collect personal information only when you actively hand it over. You fill out our contact form to request a Google Business Profile audit. You type in your name, your email address, and your company website. We store that specific data in our secure CRM. We use it to reply to your inquiry.
We never sell this list to third-party lead brokers. We never trade it with other North Carolina marketing agencies.
Your contact information stays strictly with us.
Sometimes we need specific access to your Google Business Profile or Search Console to run a technical diagnostic. We request standard manager access. We never ask for your primary owner passwords. Once our campaign concludes, we remove our agency access. Clean breaks. Zero lingering permissions.
