Growth Architect AI (Pty) Ltd Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 August 2026

Growth Architect AI (Pty) Ltd (“Growth Architect AI”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to being clear about what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Growth Architect AI website and related services, including purchases, software licences, downloads, customer support, and use of our website.

A key part of Growth Architect AI is that the SEO analysis performed by the software is designed to take place locally on your own computer.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information that is necessary to operate our website, process orders, provide licences and downloads, communicate with customers, and provide support.

Depending on how you interact with the website, this may include:

• Your name
• Email address
• Billing or transaction information required to process an order
• Product and licence information
• Information you provide when contacting us for support
• Information required to deliver software downloads or licence keys
• Technical or usage information collected by the website where applicable

We only use this information for legitimate business purposes such as processing orders, providing products and services, communicating with customers, improving the website, and providing support.

2. Your SEO Data Stays on Your Machine

Growth Architect AI is designed as an offline SEO analysis solution.

When you use Growth Architect AI, your imported SEO data is processed locally on your own computer.

This includes data such as:

• Screaming Frog exports
• Google Search Console exports
• Google Analytics 4 exports
• Website URLs
• SEO metrics
• Website analysis data
• Client website data contained within those exports

We do not require you to upload this SEO analysis data to Growth Architect AI servers in order for the software to perform its analysis.

The software is designed to analyse the imported information locally and produce the resulting analysis and reports on your machine.

This means your SEO analysis data does not need to be sent to us simply because you use Growth Architect AI.

3. What We Do Not Receive From the Software

Simply using Growth Architect AI does not automatically send your website’s SEO analysis data to us.

We do not receive your:

• Screaming Frog crawl exports
• Google Search Console exports
• Google Analytics 4 exports
• Website analysis data
• SEO reports
• Client website data

as part of the normal local analysis performed by the software.

Your SEO data remains under your control on the computer where you perform the analysis.

4. Website Orders, Licences and Downloads

If you purchase or obtain a Growth Architect AI licence through our website, we may need to process information required to:

• Create and manage your order
• Provide your licence
• Deliver your software download
• Send order or licence-related communications
• Provide customer support
• Maintain appropriate records of transactions and licences

Our website uses WooCommerce and third-party services involved in payment processing, email delivery, hosting, downloads, or other website functions.

Information required by those services may be processed by the relevant service provider in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not control the privacy practices of third-party service providers.

5. Payments

Payment information submitted during a purchase is handled through the payment services made available through our website.

We do not need access to your complete payment-card details in order to provide Growth Architect AI.

Payment providers may collect and process payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies, security requirements, and applicable laws.

6. Website Analytics, Cookies and Technical Information

Our website may use cookies, analytics, security tools, or other technical services to operate the website, understand website usage, improve performance, maintain security, and improve the user experience.

The website may therefore collect limited technical or usage information such as:

• Browser type
• Device type
• Pages visited
• Approximate usage information
• Referring pages
• Technical information required for website operation
• Information associated with cookies or similar technologies where applicable

This website-level information is separate from the SEO data that you import into Growth Architect AI for local analysis.

Important distinction

The Growth Architect AI software is designed so that your SEO analysis data remains local to your machine.

This does not mean that the Growth Architect AI website itself never uses cookies, analytics, payment services, hosting services, or other technologies required to operate an online website.

7. Customer Support

If you contact us for support, we may receive information that you choose to provide, such as:

• Your name
• Email address
• Order or licence information
• Information about the problem you are experiencing
• Screenshots, documents, or other information you voluntarily provide to help us diagnose an issue

We use this information only for purposes such as responding to your enquiry, providing support, resolving technical issues, and maintaining appropriate customer-service records.

Your SEO data is not required to be sent to us for normal use of the software.

If you voluntarily send SEO information to us as part of a support request, that information will be handled as information you have chosen to provide to us.

8. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Process and manage orders
• Provide software licences
• Provide downloads
• Provide customer support
• Respond to enquiries
• Communicate important information about purchases or licences
• Maintain business and transaction records
• Operate and secure our website
• Understand and improve website performance
• Prevent abuse, fraud, or misuse
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

9. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including where necessary to:

• Complete transactions
• Maintain licence and order records
• Provide customer support
• Resolve disputes
• Maintain appropriate accounting or business records
• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements

Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the type of information involved.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

One of the principles behind Growth Architect AI is that customers can perform their SEO analysis locally rather than requiring their SEO datasets to be uploaded to a cloud analysis platform.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services.

These may include services involved in areas such as:

• Payments
• Website hosting
• Email
• Analytics
• Website security
• Software downloads
• Other website functionality

When you interact directly with a third-party service, that service may collect information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services that you use.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which laws apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include rights to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion where applicable
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request information about how your personal information is used

South African privacy requirements, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), may apply to our processing of personal information.

Where applicable, other privacy laws may also provide additional rights.

If you would like to exercise a privacy right, please contact us using the details below.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our website and software are intended for business and professional use.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the purpose of providing our services.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, services, technology, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Our core privacy principle

Growth Architect AI was built around a simple principle:

Your SEO data should remain under your control.

The software is designed to bring your Screaming Frog, Google Search Console and Google Analytics data together for analysis on your own machine, without requiring that SEO analysis data to be uploaded to a Growth Architect AI cloud platform.

That is what we mean when we describe Growth Architect AI as offline SEO intelligence.
