Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026. BeFirst SEO ("we", "our") is a free SEO audit tool run by Barira Sania from Bengaluru, India. Contact: LinkedIn.

What we collect

• Email address — when you sign up to run a free audit or get updates.
• Audited URLs and results — the pages you ask us to grade, so we can show your report and improve the tool.
• Basic technical data — e.g. IP-based rate limiting to prevent abuse (5 audits/hour).

How we use it

• To deliver your SEO audit reports.
• To send product updates (you can opt out anytime by replying to any email).
• To keep the service fast, fair and abuse-free.

Where it is stored

Signups are stored in our private Notion workspace with a local backup. Audit processing runs on our backend (Render) and hosting (Netlify). Page content you submit for audit may pass through our AI provider (Google Gemini) for analysis.

What we never do

We never sell your email or data. No ad trackers on this site. Your last audit is kept in your own browser (localStorage, 7 days) — not on our servers.

Your rights

Ask for a copy or deletion of your data anytime via LinkedIn and we will action it within 7 days.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
