Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

GroundWalker Media ("we," "us," "our") operates groundwalkermedia.com. This page explains what information we collect when you use our site or our free visibility check tool, how we use it, and your choices.

Information we collect

When you fill out our contact form, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, business name, email address, and trade.

When you use the free visibility check tool, we collect the business name, city, website URL, and search phrase you enter, in order to run the check and display results to you. We may retain this information to improve the tool and to follow up if you've asked us to.

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

How we use information

• To respond to inquiries and provide the services you request
• To run the visibility check you request and show you the results
• To improve our website and tools
• To contact you about GroundWalker Media's services, if you've given us your information for that purpose

We do not sell your personal information.

Third-party services we use

To operate this site and the visibility check tool, we rely on a small number of third-party services, which process data on our behalf:

• HubSpot — stores contact form submissions in our CRM
• SerpApi — used to check public Google search rankings and ad presence
• Yelp Fusion API — used to check public Yelp business listings
• Google PageSpeed Insights — used to check public website performance
• Vercel — hosts this website

These services only receive the information necessary to perform their specific function (for example, a business name and city to run a search). We don't share your contact information with them beyond what's needed to operate the tool.

Cookies and analytics

We may use standard website analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site, such as which pages are visited and how the visibility check tool performs. This helps us improve the site. We do not use this data to build advertising profiles about you.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act) to know what personal information we've collected about you, request deletion of it, or opt out of certain uses. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.

Data retention

We retain contact form and visibility check information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to your inquiry or provide our services, or until you ask us to delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
