Privacy Policy
How ScalingLadder collects, uses, and protects information across our website, SEO campaigns, and WhatsApp lead engine — written the way we'd want it explained to us, not the way a lawyer would bury it.
ScalingLadder ("we", "us", "our") is an organic digital marketing and SEO agency based in Nagpur, Maharashtra, helping Indian SMBs grow visibility online. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect when you visit scalingladder.odoo.com, message us on WhatsApp, or work with us as a client — and exactly what we do (and never do) with it.
Who we are
ScalingLadder is a digital marketing agency offering SEO, content strategy, link building, and analytics & reporting services to small and medium businesses across India. Our website is hosted on Odoo, and this policy covers data handled through that website, our lead-capture systems, and our direct client communications.
For the purposes of Indian data protection law, ScalingLadder acts as the Data Fiduciary for personal data collected through our website and marketing channels.
Information we collect
We only collect what we need to respond to you, run your campaign, or improve our website. This typically includes:
- Contact details — name, email address, phone/WhatsApp number, business/company name, and city.
- Business information — website URL, industry, and the goals you share with us when requesting a proposal or audit.
- Communications — messages sent through our contact form, WhatsApp chatbot, or email correspondence with our team.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, collected automatically through standard web analytics.
- Client account data — for businesses listed in our company directory portal, the business details and logo you provide for your public profile.
How we collect it
Information reaches us in a few specific ways:
- Forms you fill out — our contact form, audit request form, or directory listing form.
- Our WhatsApp lead-capture chatbot — when you start a conversation, the details you share are delivered to our team's inbox to follow up with you.
- Cookies and analytics — automatically, when you browse our website (see Section 05).
- Direct conversations — calls, emails, or WhatsApp messages exchanged once you become a client or lead.
How we use it
We use your information strictly to operate and improve our agency's services:
- Responding to enquiries and preparing SEO/marketing proposals.
- Delivering the services you've engaged us for, and reporting on results.
- Operating your listing in our company directory portal, where applicable.
- Sending updates relevant to your project, or — only with your consent — occasional content from our educational channels.
- Understanding how visitors use our website, so we can keep improving it.
- Meeting our legal, accounting, and tax record-keeping obligations.
Cookies & tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand traffic patterns, and measure which content and campaigns perform best. This includes standard web analytics cookies that track anonymised visit data such as pages viewed and time on site.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function, but won't prevent you from browsing or contacting us.
Tools we use
To run our website and lead pipeline reliably, we rely on a small set of trusted third-party platforms. Each only receives the data it needs to perform its specific job:
Each of these providers maintains its own privacy and security practices, and only processes data on our behalf, under our instructions.
Storage & security
Your data is stored on the secure, access-controlled infrastructure of the platforms listed in Section 06, all of which use encryption in transit. Within ScalingLadder, access to client and lead data is limited to team members who need it to do their work.
We retain personal data only for as long as needed to fulfil the purpose it was collected for — typically the duration of our working relationship plus a reasonable period for accounting and legal records, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Sharing & disclosure
We share information only in these limited circumstances:
- With the service providers listed in Section 06, strictly to deliver our services.
- If required by law, court order, or a legitimate request from a government authority.
- With your explicit consent — for example, featuring your business as a testimonial or case study.
- In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, where your data would remain subject to an equivalent privacy commitment.
Your rights
As a Data Principal under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and its implementing rules, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, simply message us on WhatsApp or email — we aim to respond within 7 working days.
Children's privacy
Our services are intended for business owners, marketers, and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18. If you believe a minor has shared data with us, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Policy changes
As India's data protection rules continue to roll out in phases through 2027, and as our tools and services evolve, we'll update this policy accordingly. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page always reflects the latest version — for significant changes, we'll highlight them on our website.
Grievance & contact
For any privacy questions, data requests, or complaints, reach out to our Grievance Officer directly. This policy is governed by the laws of India, with courts in Nagpur, Maharashtra having exclusive jurisdiction.
