BacklinkSky Privacy policy.
Last updated:
Who we are
This privacy policy explains how BacklinkSky (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit backlinksky.com (the “website”) or contact us about our link building and content writing services.
We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy. If you have any questions, email us at [email protected].
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you send a project brief through our contact form, we collect:
- your full name and email address;
- your website URL, if you provide it;
- the service you are interested in, your budget range and any package you selected;
- the project details you write in the brief.
If you email us or become a client, we also keep our correspondence with you and the information needed to deliver your order, such as target URLs, anchor text and content requirements.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting servers record basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you request and the date and time of the request. We use this to keep the website secure and working, including limiting repeated form submissions.
We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools on this website.
How we use your information
- to read and reply to your enquiry and prepare a proposal or quote;
- to deliver the services you order, including outreach, content writing and reporting;
- to communicate with you about your order, invoices and support;
- to protect the website against spam, abuse and security threats;
- to meet our legal, accounting and tax obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send you marketing emails unless you have asked to receive them.
Legal bases for processing
Where data protection laws such as the UK GDPR or EU GDPR apply, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Contract: to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and to perform our contract with you.
- Legitimate interests: to respond to enquiries, run our business and keep the website secure, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation: to keep records required by law.
- Consent: where we ask for it. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Third-party services
To display the website, your browser loads fonts from Google Fonts and animation scripts from the jsDelivr content delivery network. These providers receive your IP address and browser information when the files are requested, and handle it under their own privacy policies.
We also use trusted service providers, such as our hosting provider and email provider, to run the website and deliver messages. They process personal information only on our instructions.
When we place content on publisher websites, we share only what is needed for the placement, such as your target URL and anchor text. We do not share your contact details with publishers.
How long we keep information
We keep enquiries for as long as needed to respond and follow up on them. Client records are kept for the duration of our working relationship and afterwards for as long as required for legal, tax and accounting purposes. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.
You can ask us to delete your enquiry at any time.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access to enquiries restricted to authorised, password-protected accounts. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and will act promptly if a problem occurs.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- ask us to delete your information;
- object to or ask us to restrict how we use your information;
- receive your information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent where we rely on it.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within the time required by law. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure your information receives an adequate level of protection, such as relying on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
Children
Our website and services are intended for businesses and are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
