Privacy Policy for Local SEO Course Service
When you land on localseocourseservice.com, you want to learn how to turn local searches into actual paying customers. You want to rank higher in Google Maps. You do not want to read a wall of legal jargon.
We respect your time. We also respect your privacy. This page outlines exactly how we handle your data. No hidden clauses. No deceptive tracking. Just the operational reality of running a digital course platform.
This policy is effective as of May 19, 2026.
Information You Hand Us Directly
You give us data when you take specific actions on this site. If you fill out our contact form to ask about Google Business Profile optimization, you provide your name and email address. If you enroll in our course, you provide billing details.
We require this information to deliver the service. We need your email to send your login credentials. We need your name to set up your student profile. We do not ask for unnecessary details. We do not care about your home address unless your credit card processor requires it for verification.
You control what you type into our forms. You hit submit. We store it securely.
Information We Gather Automatically
Websites run on data. Ours is no exception. When you browse our guides on citation consistency or review velocity, our servers log technical details.
We record your IP address. We note your browser type. We track the time you spend on specific pages.
This is standard operational procedure. It gives us a high-resolution understanding of our traffic. We see the signal through the noise. We track your journey from our homepage to our map pack tutorial. We watch the drop-off rates. If a thousand visitors abandon our proximity signal video within ten seconds, we know the content failed. We rewrite it. We record new video. We use analytics strictly to improve content quality. Your friction becomes our fix.
How We Handle Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They get a bad reputation. In reality, they are essential for a functional website.
We use session cookies. They keep you logged in while you transition from the video on local rankings to the quiz on NAP consistency. Without them, you would have to enter your password on every single page. That creates massive friction. We eliminate that friction.
We also use analytics cookies. They tell us if you are a new visitor or a returning student. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If you do, parts of our course platform will break. You make the choice.
Third-Party Infrastructure We Trust
We do not build our own payment gateways. We do not write our own analytics software. We rely on specialized third-party services.
We use Stripe and PayPal for payment processing. When you buy the course, your credit card data goes directly to them. It never touches our database. These processors have massive security infrastructure. We trust them to handle the financial transaction.
We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console. They track user behavior across our site. Google processes this data to show us how people find our local SEO training.
We use an external email provider to send our newsletters. They store your email address and track open rates.
We vet these partners. We read their privacy policies. We ensure they align with our
