Privacy and data use
Updated October 19, 2026
Optional Google Analytics.
If Google Analytics 4 is configured, we ask for consent before loading it. Declining keeps optional analytics off. We also respect browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals.
With consent, Google Analytics receives page visits and article selections. It may collect device, browser and approximate location information and set analytics cookies. We use these signals to understand which content is useful and where visits come from.
We do not send your email address or search text in these events. Page events omit URL query strings and fragments; referrers are limited to their origin. We do not enable advertising personalization, Google signals or session replay in our code.
Your analytics preference.
Your analytics preference is stored in this browser. You can change it at any time using the control above.
Previously submitted newsletter interest
Newsletter signup is currently closed and no newsletter emails are sent. Previously submitted interest records contain the email address, submission date and consent version. They are stored separately from analytics and are not public. Contact us to request deletion.
Pre-launch survey and email updates
If you submit the pre-launch survey, GEO50 stores your email, business or role, goals, selected language, submission time and consent record. We use your answers to understand product needs and your email only to send the GEO guide and launch notification you requested. Signing up does not create an account, verify your email or trigger an immediate email. Responses are available only to site administrators and are not sold or added to a general newsletter. We retain responses for this research and follow-up, then delete them when the follow-up is complete. To withdraw, correct your response or request deletion at any time, contact geo50team@gmail.com. You can also reply to any future email to opt out.
Operational requests.
The hosting provider may process basic request information to deliver and protect the website. When you email GEO50, we use your address and message to respond.
Contact and data requests
For privacy questions or to request deletion of an interest-list record, email GEO50. For deletion requests, include the email address used to sign up so we can locate the record. When you contact us, we use your email address and message to respond to your request.
