Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

Summary: Altius SEO is a self-hosted plugin. Your visitors' analytics data stays entirely in your database and never reaches our servers. We only collect data necessary to operate this website and deliver the service.

1. Who we are

Altius SEO ("we", "us", "our") is a software product operated at altiusseo.com. You can contact us at support@altiusseo.com.

2. What data we collect on this website

Contact form submissions — When you use the support form at /support, we collect your name, email address, and message. This data is used only to respond to your inquiry and is stored in our email system (SendGrid).

Payment information — When you purchase a Pro or Agency license, payment is processed by Lemon Squeezy (our Merchant of Record). We receive your email address and subscription details. We never see or store your card details — those are handled entirely by Lemon Squeezy.

Website analytics — This marketing website (altiusseo.com) does not use third-party analytics. We do not use Google Analytics, cookies for tracking, or any external analytics service.

3. What data the plugin collects (for your app's visitors)

When you install Altius SEO in your .NET application, it tracks analytics for your visitors. This data is stored exclusively in your SQL Server database — it is never sent to our servers.

Data collected per page view includes: hashed IP address (one-way hash — not reversible), page URL, page title, referrer URL, user agent, session ID, timestamp, and device type. No cookies are set. IP addresses are hashed with a daily rotating salt before storage.

As the operator of Altius SEO in your application, you are the data controller for your visitors' data. You are responsible for maintaining an appropriate privacy policy and legal basis for processing this analytics data in your own application.
