Dr Urls ("we," "our," or "us") operates the drurls.com website and the Dr Urls SEO intelligence platform (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our Service. Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, information generated through your use of the Service, and information from third-party sources.
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, organization name, and any other information you choose to provide during registration. If you sign up through a third-party authentication provider (such as Google), we receive your name, email, and profile picture from that provider.
1.2 Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, scan configurations, search queries within the platform, timestamps of actions, and the frequency and duration of your sessions.
1.3 Device & Technical Information
We collect device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, IP address, referring URLs, and general geographic location derived from your IP address. This data helps us optimize the Service for the devices and browsers our users rely on.
1.4 Scan & Crawl Data
When you initiate a scan, we crawl the target website(s) you specify and collect publicly available data such as HTML content, HTTP headers, response codes, page load metrics, and link structures. This data is processed to generate your SEO reports and is associated with your account.
1.5 Payment Information
Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number, CVV, or bank account details on our servers. We receive and store a tokenized reference, your billing address, and transaction history from Stripe for invoicing purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Service delivery: To provide, maintain, and improve the Service, including running SEO scans, generating reports, calculating scores, and delivering audit findings.
- Account management: To manage your account, process subscriptions, handle billing, and provide customer support.
- Analytics & improvement: To understand how the Service is used, identify trends, detect errors, and improve performance and user experience.
- Communication: To send you transactional emails (scan completions, billing receipts, security alerts), product updates, and, with your consent, marketing communications.
- Security & fraud prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent unauthorized access, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Service.

3. Data Storage & Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Infrastructure: Our Service is hosted on Google Cloud Platform with data centers located in the European Union. We use managed database services with automated backups and point-in-time recovery.
- Tenant isolation: Your data is logically isolated from other customers' data. Access controls ensure that each organization can only access its own data.
- Data retention: We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Scan data is retained according to your subscription plan. Upon account deletion, we delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
- Access controls: Employee access to customer data is strictly limited, logged, and requires multi-factor authentication.
