Privacy policy

When you run a website checkup. We take the web address you type, fetch that site's public pages the way a visitor's browser would, and ask Google PageSpeed Insights to test it. We save the report and a screenshot of the homepage for 30 days, so you can come back to it and share it. Anyone with a report's link can open it, and reports are kept out of search engines. A checkup looks only at what any visitor can see; it doesn't log in or test anything private.

To stop abuse. Forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that a person is using them. To limit how many checkups, messages and bookings come from one place, we keep a one-way scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address for 24 hours. We can't turn it back into your address.

When you ask for the one-page summary, send us a message or book a call. We collect what you give us: your email address, and as it applies your name, phone number, message or note, and which report it's about. We use it only to reply, to send what you asked for and to hold the call. It's saved for 180 days and emailed to our team's inbox.

When you book a call. We create the call on our own Google Calendar (nextwebsiteco@gmail.com), with your name and email as the guest and a Google Meet link. Google then emails you the invitation. The event stays on our calendar as a record of the call.

Businesses we contact first. We sometimes run the same checkup on a business's public website and contact the business at the contact details it publishes, to share what we found. Ask us to stop and we will, and we'll delete what we hold about you.

When you browse. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, handles every request to this site (including your IP address and browser type) to deliver pages and keep the site secure, and our error logs keep a few days of requests. Your choice of light or dark theme is kept in your own browser. We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking, and we don't run advertising trackers.

This site uses the Google Calendar API with our own Google account only. It reads when that calendar is free or busy, so it can show open times, and creates the events for calls you book, with a Meet link. You never sign in with Google here, and we never see or touch your Google account or calendar.

The data this site receives from Google is our calendar's busy times and the details of the events it creates. We use it only to show open times and to schedule, change or cancel your call. We don't sell it, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone, except as needed to provide booking or where the law requires.

Next Website's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We don't sell or rent personal information, or share it for advertising. These providers handle it for us, only to run the service:

• Cloudflare: hosting, storage of reports and requests, Turnstile, and delivering our team's email.
• Google: PageSpeed Insights (the address of a site being checked), Calendar and Meet for calls, and Gmail for our team's inbox.

We'd also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our users, our service or others from harm or abuse.

• Checkup reports and screenshots: 30 days.
• Summary requests, messages and booking details: 180 days, unless we're working together, when they become part of that project.
• Calendar events for calls: on our calendar until we delete them.
• The hashed IP address used to limit requests: 24 hours.
• Error logs: a few days.

Write to hello@nextwebsite.co to see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. That includes a report on your website, or a booking. We reply within 30 days. You don't need to give a reason, and we won't treat you differently for asking.

To cancel or move a call, reply to the calendar invitation or email us. We send one-off replies, not newsletters: we won't add you to a mailing list.

Everything travels over HTTPS. Stored information sits with our providers, and only our team can reach it. Our Google access is limited to reading free and busy times and managing the events this site creates. No system is perfectly secure. If something went wrong that affected you, we'd tell you promptly.

This site is for businesses and the people who run them. It isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

If we change this policy, we'll update it here and change the date at the top, and tell you directly about any change that matters for information you've already given us. Questions: hello@nextwebsite.co. See also our terms of service.
