Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 27, 2026
1. Information We Collect
When you visit The Answer Engine website or use our services, we may collect the following information:
- Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and business details when you fill out our contact forms, territory check, or Answer Engine Audit request.
- Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website, including pages visited, time spent, and navigation patterns.
- Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and device identifiers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- Deliver our Answer Engine Optimization services
- Send relevant communications about our services (with your consent)
- Improve our website and services
- Comply with legal obligations
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering services, provided they agree to keep your information confidential.
Answer Engine Audit requests are processed through Formspree, Inc., our form-delivery provider. We send Formspree the business name, website, work email, business category, primary market, acquisition-spend range, location count, current inquiry capacity, optional competitor name, consent record, and limited source/plan attribution needed to deliver and evaluate the request. Formspree may process and store that submission in the United States or other jurisdictions under its Privacy Policy. We do not use the audit form to collect health, legal-case, financial-account, payment, or other sensitive personal details.
4. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
5. Cookies and Tracking
We use privacy-configured analytics and error-monitoring services, including PostHog and Sentry, to understand website usage, measure interactions with important calls to action, and diagnose technical failures.
Our analytics configuration masks form inputs, excludes private administration, client-report, signed, concept, social, and other designated non-public routes, and does not intentionally send contact-form contents, email addresses, telephone numbers, passwords, payment details, or AI prompt content to these services. Session recordings may capture how a visitor navigates public pages, but inputs and designated private elements are masked or blocked.
These services may use cookies, local storage, device information, and truncated page URLs to provide analytics and reliability reporting. You can limit cookies through your browser settings or use supported tracking-protection features. Blocking analytics does not prevent you from using the public website.
Optional Meta analytics remains off until you select "Allow analytics" in our on-site preference notice. If you decline, the Meta Pixel is not loaded. Your choice is stored in your browser; you can reset it by clearing this site's local storage and revisiting the site. Essential site functions and audit requests do not require analytics consent.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt-out of marketing communications
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
