Data we process
When you contact us
When you use the contact form, we process your name, email and message. If you fill them in, we also process your company, phone number, website and the area you want to discuss. We also store the language you wrote in, the page you came from and any campaign parameters (UTM) in the address.
If you write directly to [email protected], we process the information you send us.
When you visit the site
The server records technically necessary data such as IP address, time and the page you visit. We use it only to run and protect the site.
If you accept statistics cookies, we load Google Tag Manager, which uses Google Analytics 4 to see how the site is used. Read more in our cookie policy.
When you use Octoras Portal
Octoras Portal (app.octoras.com) is only for our clients. When we give a client access, we process the user's name, email address and language, the password they choose (stored as an encrypted hash) and the time of their last login. The portal uses a session cookie, which is needed to stay logged in.
Data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console
When a client connects Google Analytics or Google Search Console to the portal, Octoras gets read-only access through Google's own login (OAuth). We store the email address of the Google account used and an encrypted access key.
We fetch only aggregated statistics about the client's own website: clicks, impressions, average position and the searches and pages with most clicks from Search Console, and visits, conversions and revenue per day from Google Analytics. We do not fetch data about individual visitors.
We use the data only to show the client their own visibility in the portal and in our work for them. We never sell it, never use it for advertising and never share it with others than the processors below. Octoras' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
The access can be removed at any time by writing to us or under Third-party apps & services in the Google account. Then we stop fetching data.
