Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2026

At Standard Syntax SEO LLC ("Standard Syntax," "we," "us," or "our"), we believe in data sovereignty and engineering privacy by default. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit standardsyntax.com.

1. The Data We Collect

We only collect data that is strictly necessary to communicate with you or to ensure the technical performance of our website.

  • Communication Data: If you contact us via email, we retain your email address and the contents of your message solely for the purpose of client communication and project fulfillment.
  • Technical Analytics: We practice what we preach. We utilize privacy-first, server-side analytics to monitor the health and performance of our website. This data is anonymized and aggregated.

2. First-Party Analytics & Cookies

Standard Syntax advocates for first-party data ownership. We do not sell your data to third-party advertising networks or data brokers. If we utilize analytics platforms, they are configured to minimize Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collection and respect browser-level "Do Not Track" requests wherever technically feasible.

3. Data Security

We employ industry-standard, enterprise-grade server architecture to protect any data submitted to us from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

4. Third-Party Links

Our website contains educational links to third-party resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these external domains.
