Seowolf ("we," "us," "our") operates seowolf.org and its connected tool subdomains (including webmastertools.seowolf.org and seotools.seowolf.org), collectively "the Site." This policy explains what information we collect when you use our free SEO tools, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
We built Seowolf to be usable without an account. We don't ask for a signup to run a tool, and we don't sell personal information.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly. Most tools on the Site accept input you type or paste in — a domain, a keyword, a block of text, a URL. That input is processed to return a result and is not tied to your identity by us.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically log standard technical data when you visit, including:
- IP address and approximate location (country/region level)
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent, and referring URL
- General usage patterns, gathered through Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google tag / gtag.js) to understand aggregate traffic and improve the Site. Google may set its own cookies to support this; see Google's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle that data.
2. Cookies & Similar Technologies
The Site uses a small number of cookies and local storage entries to:
- Support analytics (Google Analytics)
- Track affiliate referrals (see our Affiliate Disclosure) via partner networks such as Impact and Awin
- Remember basic display preferences within individual tools where applicable
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how some tools behave but will not prevent you from using the Site.
3. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the tools on the Site
- To understand which tools are most useful and prioritize future development
- To detect, prevent, and address abuse, fraud, or technical issues
- To track affiliate conversions when you follow a partner link from the Site
We do not use the text, domains, or URLs you submit to our tools for advertising profiles, and we do not sell that data to third parties.
4. Third-Party Services
Some tools query third-party APIs or data sources (for example, WHOIS registries, DNS resolvers, or search engine indexes) to return results. When you use those tools, the input you submit (such as a domain name) may be sent to the relevant third-party service in order to fetch a result. We select providers that don't require us to hand over personally identifying information beyond what's needed to complete the request.
5. Data Retention
Aggregate analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings. We do not maintain a permanent database of individual tool inputs tied to visitors.
6. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for general business and marketing use and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Your Choices
- Use a browser extension or setting to block analytics and advertising cookies
- Use "Do Not Track" or similar browser signals, where supported
- Contact us if you believe we hold information about you that you'd like removed
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
