Privacy Policy

Effective date: 13 September 2026

This policy explains how Muthali Ganesh collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you use muthaliganesh.com, its free tools, courses, customer areas, and consulting forms.

1. Who is responsible for your information

Muthali Ganesh operates this website and is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. Questions or privacy requests can be sent through the contact details at the end of this page.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

  • Contact information: your name, email address, phone number, company details, and message when you submit an enquiry.
  • Account information: your email address and authentication data when you access a customer-only area or Local SEO workspace.
  • Course information: your email, course progress, quiz results, and certificate details when you use the free SEO course.
  • Tool inputs: URLs, keywords, business details, locations, or other information you enter into free tools or customer tools.
  • Usage and device information: pages viewed, approximate location, browser type, device type, referral source, and interactions with the site.
  • Communications: messages and records of conversations relating to enquiries, consulting work, support, or customer access.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to consulting enquiries and provide requested services;
  • create and manage customer access to private tools;
  • operate free tools, courses, quizzes, and downloadable certificates;
  • measure website performance and understand how visitors use the site;
  • protect the website, prevent misuse, and investigate technical problems;
  • maintain business records and comply with legal obligations; and
  • send service-related or marketing communications where permitted.

4. Legal grounds for processing

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent, the steps needed to answer your request or provide a service, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the site, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time, although this does not affect earlier lawful use.

5. Cookies and analytics

The site may use essential browser storage to keep accounts secure and maintain sessions. It also uses Google Tag Manager and may use connected analytics services to measure visits and interactions. These services may place cookies or collect device and usage data according to their own policies.

You can limit non-essential cookies through available consent controls and your browser settings. Blocking essential storage may prevent account areas or parts of the site from working correctly.

6. Free tools and submitted URLs

Some tools send the website address, keyword, location, or other input you provide to a service needed to produce the result. Do not submit confidential information through a public tool. Results are informational and may be temporarily processed or retained for operation, security, and troubleshooting.

7. Service providers and data sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared only with service providers that help run the website, customer accounts, analytics, email, content, hosting, and tool functionality. These may include Lovable, Google services, WordPress, and search-data providers where relevant to a feature you use.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect legal rights or safety, or in connection with a legitimate business transfer. Providers process data under their own terms and privacy obligations.

8. International transfers

Some providers may process information outside your country. Where required, we rely on recognised safeguards or other lawful transfer mechanisms intended to protect that information.

9. How long we keep information

We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, security, and legal compliance. Retention periods vary by record type. Information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer needed, subject to legal requirements.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so please avoid sending sensitive information unless it is specifically requested through an appropriate channel.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • ask for access to or a copy of your personal information;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion or restriction of processing;
  • object to certain processing or withdraw consent;
  • request portable data in an applicable format; and
  • complain to your local data-protection authority.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Legal exceptions may apply, and we will explain any restriction where required.

12. Children’s privacy

This website and its services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

13. External links

The site may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are controlled by their own policies, and this policy does not cover information you provide directly to them.

14. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the site, its services, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be revised when an updated version is published.
