We use contact information to send transactional messages, security notices, billing notices, onboarding guidance, support replies, product updates, and marketing communications where permitted. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time.
4. AI and SEO Data Processing
VibeSEO uses automated systems and third-party providers to process Customer Content and generate SEO outputs, including topic ideas, keyword recommendations, article drafts, metadata, FAQs, internal link suggestions, summaries, and reports.
Information sent to AI or SEO providers may include website text, URLs, metadata, business context, search data, draft instructions, and generated outputs. We use these providers to deliver the Service, evaluate quality, troubleshoot, and improve reliability.
You should not submit highly sensitive personal information, regulated health information, financial account data, government identifiers, passwords, secrets, or confidential information that is not needed for SEO content generation.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, our legal bases may include performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent, compliance with legal obligations, and protection of rights, security, and safety.
For example, we process account, project, and billing information to provide the Service; usage and diagnostic data to secure and improve the Service; and marketing information based on consent or legitimate interests where permitted by law.
6. How We Share Information
Service providers: we share information with vendors that help us operate the Service, including hosting, databases, analytics, logging, payments, customer support, email delivery, AI processing, SEO data, security, and infrastructure providers.
Integrations you authorize: when you connect Google Search Console, a CMS, a publishing target, OAuth provider, or another integration, we exchange information with that service as needed to provide the requested integration.
Legal and safety: we may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, security, users, third parties, or the public.
Business transfers: if VibeSEO is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
With your direction or consent: we may share information when you ask us to, when you publish content publicly, or when you otherwise consent.

Public content may be cached, archived, copied, or indexed by third parties outside our control.
If you publish content to a custom domain, shared VibeSEO host, or third-party CMS, the domain owner, hosting provider, CMS provider, search engines, analytics tools, and visitors may process information according to their own policies.
