Overview
Prime SEO ("the Plugin") is a WordPress SEO plugin developed by the Prime SEO team. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the Plugin collects, how it is stored, and what external services it connects to.
Data Storage
All data generated and managed by Prime SEO is stored locally in your WordPress database. This includes:
- SEO settings and configuration
- Post and page meta data (titles, descriptions, keywords)
- Redirect rules and hit counts
- 404 error logs (URL, referrer, user agent, and IP address for debugging purposes)
- AI crawler visit logs (bot name, URL, timestamp)
- Backup files stored in your
wp-contentdirectory
Prime SEO does not send any of this data to our servers or any third-party analytics service.
