Privacy policy

Autopilot SEO is a tool that writes and publishes blog posts to your website. Most of what we hold is about your website rather than about you personally, and this page is specific about which is which.

What we collect

Information you give us

• Your email address, when you start a trial or create an account. It identifies your account and is how we contact you.
• Your website address, and the answers you give during onboarding: what your business does, roughly where it operates, who your customers are, and how often you want to publish. These feed the content plan.
• Your publishing settings: how your site is connected, which path your blog lives at, and your schedule.

Information we collect from your website

When you connect a site, we fetch its public pages the way any visitor or search engine would, to work out what you sell, how you write and what platform you are on. We do not log into your site, and we do not ask for hosting credentials.

Information collected automatically

• Product analytics. We record which steps of signup and onboarding are reached, so we can see where people get stuck. This uses a random identifier stored in your browser. It is not your name or email, and we do not use it to build a profile of you elsewhere.
• Blog post views. Posts we publish for you count their own page views, so you can see which articles are working. We count views, not visitors: no cookie is set on your readers and nothing about them is stored.
• Ordinary server logs kept by our hosting provider, including IP address and browser type, used for security and debugging.

Payment information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. What we keep is your subscription status, the plan you are on, your renewal date and the email address attached to the subscription.

Why we are allowed to hold it

We hold your account details, site information and settings because we cannot provide the service without them. We hold payment records because we are required to keep records of what we have sold. We use product analytics on the basis of our legitimate interest in knowing whether our own signup works, and we keep that data minimal for exactly that reason.

Who else processes your data

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for anybody else’s advertising. Running Autopilot SEO does mean your data passes through a small number of specialist providers acting on our instructions:

• A hosting and content delivery provider, which serves the site and keeps ordinary server logs.
• A managed database and file storage provider, which holds your account, your site settings, your posts and their images.
• A payment processor, which takes your card details directly from you and tells us only whether your subscription is active. See the payment section above.
• AI model providers, which generate the text and the illustration for each post. They receive the topic, keywords and business context needed to write that post.

Each of them is bound to use your data only to provide their service to us. If you would like to know exactly which companies these are, before signing up or at any time afterwards, email support@getautopilotseo.com and we will tell you.

We may also disclose information if we are legally required to, or to protect the security of the service.

How long we keep it

Account and site data is kept while your account is open. If you close your account we delete it, other than records we have to keep for accounting. Posts already published to your own website are yours and stay on your site; deleting your Autopilot SEO account does not remove them from your server.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to support@getautopilotseo.com from the address on your account and we will action it. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to complain to a data protection regulator.

Storage in your browser

We use your browser’s local storage rather than tracking cookies: one entry keeps you signed in, one keeps your onboarding answers so you do not lose them on a refresh, and one holds the random analytics identifier described above. Clearing your browser data clears all three.

Children

Autopilot SEO is a business tool and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes

If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and the date at the top of it. If a change is significant, we will email account holders rather than quietly editing the page.
