H&U Solutions ("H&U", "we", "us", or "our") operates the website hnusolutions.com (the "Site") and provides a suite of free online SEO, AI, and compliance tools (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you visit our Site, use our Services, or communicate with us.

By accessing or using hnusolutions.com, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

This Policy applies to visitors from around the world, including users protected by regulations such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Pakistan's Personal Data Protection Bill, and other applicable data protection laws.

We collect information in two main ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information collected automatically as you interact with our Site.

2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

• Contact details — your name, email address, phone number, and company name when you submit the quote form, contact form, or email us directly.
• Project requirements — descriptions of your project, budget range, preferred services, and any files or URLs you share.
• Tool inputs — URLs, text content, keywords, or other data you paste into our SEO tools (e.g., AI Overview Checker, Meta Title Checker, Content Quality Checker). This input is processed in your browser or on our servers to generate results; we do not permanently store the content you submit to tools unless you create an account or save a report.
• Communications — the content of emails, WhatsApp messages, or other correspondence you send us.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Approximate location — derived from your IP address (city or country level only; we do not collect precise GPS location).
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 4 for details.

2.3 Information From Third Parties

• Analytics providers — aggregated and anonymized data from Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and similar services.
• Advertising networks — Google AdSense and its partners may provide us with aggregated performance data (see Section 5).
• Social media platforms — if you interact with our LinkedIn, Instagram, or other social profiles, we may receive public profile data.

We process personal information for the following purposes, each grounded in a specific legal basis under GDPR where applicable:

• To provide our Services — operate the Site, deliver tool results, respond to your inquiries, and fulfill contracted work. (Legal basis: performance of a contract / legitimate interests.)
• To communicate with you — respond to quote requests, send transactional emails, and provide customer support. (Legal basis: performance of a contract / legitimate interests.)

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site owners. We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and similar technologies (collectively, "cookies") on hnusolutions.com.

4.1 Categories of Cookies We Use

4.2 Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Our consent banner — adjust preferences anytime via the "Cookie settings" link in our footer.
• Browser settings — most browsers let you block, delete, or receive notifications for cookies. See allaboutcookies.org.
• Google Ad Settings — opt out of personalized Google ads at adssettings.google.com.
• Industry opt-outs — visit aboutads.info/choices (DAA) or youronlinechoices.eu (EDAA).

We use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements on certain pages of hnusolutions.com — primarily our free tools and blog content. These ads help us keep our tools free and support the ongoing development of the Site.

5.1 Google AdSense & the DART Cookie

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads across its ad network. This cookie allows Google and its partners to display personalized advertisements to users based on their browsing behavior.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5.2 Other Advertising Partners

We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) — or other third-party identifiers together — to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our Site.

Our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you targeted advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. H&U Solutions does not provide any personally identifiable information to advertisers or third-party sites that display our interest-based ads.

5.3 Where Ads Appear

Advertisements are shown only on a subset of our Site — primarily within the free tools hub (/tools/) and blog content (/blog/). Our core service pages, portfolio, contact page, and client work are kept advertisement-free to ensure a professional experience for prospective clients.

5.4 Your Choices Regarding Ads

• Opt out of personalized Google ads: adssettings.google.com
• Opt out of multiple advertising networks (US): optout.aboutads.info
• Opt out of multiple advertising networks (EU): youronlinechoices.eu
• Opt out of Network Advertising Initiative partners: optout.networkadvertising.org
• Use our consent banner to decline advertising cookies entirely on hnusolutions.com.

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Search Console to understand how visitors use our Site. These tools collect information such as which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and which search queries bring them to us — all in aggregated, anonymized form.

Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address, truncated by Google for anonymization) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States and other countries.

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies in your browser, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share information in the limited circumstances described below:

• Service providers — hosting (Hostinger), email delivery, analytics (Google), advertising (Google AdSense), CDN, and backup services. These providers access data only as needed to perform their services and are contractually bound to protect it.
• Business transfers — if H&U Solutions is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice on the Site before this happens.
• Legal requirements — we may disclose information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others.
• With your consent — we may share information with other third parties when you give us explicit consent to do so.
• Aggregated or anonymized data — we may share aggregated, anonymized statistics that cannot identify you individually.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• Contact form & quote submissions: up to 24 months after last meaningful contact.
• Client project data: for the duration of the engagement plus 7 years for tax and legal compliance.
• Tool input data: processed in real time, not retained beyond the session unless you explicitly save a report.
• Analytics data: aggregated data retained up to 50 months (GA4 default); individual event data retained per Google's policies.
• Server logs: up to 90 days for security and troubleshooting.
• Cookies: per the durations listed in Section 4.1.

When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Depending on where you live, you have specific rights regarding your personal data:

9.1 Rights for EU/UK Residents (GDPR / UK GDPR)

9.2 Rights for California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

hnusolutions.com is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

H&U Solutions is headquartered in Pakistan, and our servers and service providers (including Google, Hostinger, and others) are located in multiple countries, including the United States and European Union. This means your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside your own.

Where such transfers occur from the EU/UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection.

We implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encryption in transit — all traffic to and from hnusolutions.com uses HTTPS/TLS encryption.
• Secure hosting — managed hosting on Hostinger with regular security patches.
• Access controls — limited access to personal data on a strict need-to-know basis.
• Regular updates — WordPress core, themes, plugins, and dependencies are kept current.
• Input sanitization — all user inputs are sanitized and validated to prevent injection attacks.
• Rate limiting — tool endpoints enforce per-IP rate limits to prevent abuse.
• Backups — encrypted backups are maintained for disaster recovery.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via a prominent notice on the Site or by email.

We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please get in touch using any of the methods below. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
