Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 18, 2026
At AfriSEO Intelligence, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users across the African continent. This policy outlines how we handle the data entrusted to us as part of our professional SEO intelligence services.
Data Security
We prioritize the protection of proprietary business data. All site links and keywords provided for visibility diagnostics are handled with professional-grade encryption (AES-256). We ensure that your strategic data remains confidential and secure within our infrastructure.
Data We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
Account Information
- Name and email address
- Password (stored as a bcrypt hash, never in plain text)
- Google account ID (if you sign in with Google)
Business & SEO Data
- Website URL and target country
- Business niches and SEO goals
- Keywords you research or track
- Content you submit for scoring or writing
Usage Data
- Tools used and when they were last accessed
- Support chat transcripts
- Subscription and payment status
Payment Information
- Transaction references and subscription codes
- We do not store credit card numbers — payments are handled entirely by our payment processors
Third-Party Services
We share data with the following third-party services only as needed to operate our platform. We do not sell your data to anyone.
Google (OAuth & Search APIs)
Authentication via Google Sign-In. Google Search APIs power our keyword research, SERP analysis, and Google Trends data. Google PageSpeed Insights is used for website audits.
Paystack & Flutterwave
Payment processing for subscriptions. These providers handle your card details directly — we only receive transaction references and subscription status.
OpenRouter (AI Models)
Powers our AI content writer and content scoring. Content you submit for writing or scoring is sent to AI models via OpenRouter to generate results. We do not use your content to train AI models.
Resend
Transactional email delivery for account verification, password resets, team invitations, and support escalations. Your email address is shared with Resend to deliver these messages.
Cloudflare
CDN and DDoS protection. Cloudflare processes request metadata (IP addresses, headers) as part of securing our infrastructure.
Authorized Use Only
Data collected during the onboarding phase — including your selected country and business type — is used strictly to tailor our localized market insights to your specific national environment. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond providing the service.
Full Transparency
We provide clear visibility into what data is being analyzed. Our diagnostics are designed to give you professional intelligence without compromising your site's integrity.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, contact us at [email protected] and we will process your request within 30 days.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of AfriSEO after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
