Privacy Policy

Last updated October 22, 2026

RankCiter is operated by Farrukh Bilal, based in Pakistan. This policy explains what information RankCiter collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. Questions: hello@rankciter.com.

Information we collect

• Account details from Google sign-in: your name, email address and profile picture.
• Read-only data from Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 for the properties your Google account can access, such as clicks, impressions, queries, pages, sessions, users, traffic sources and key events.
• Settings you enter in RankCiter, such as AI check questions, brand names and report preferences.
• Billing details, which are collected and processed by our payment provider. We do not store card numbers.
• Basic technical logs needed to run and secure the service.

How we use information

• To build the reports, charts, AI visibility checks and recommendations you request.
• To operate, secure and improve the service, and to provide support.
• To process payments and send service emails about your account.

We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.

Google user data

RankCiter requests read-only access to Google Search Console (webmasters.readonly) and Google Analytics (analytics.readonly). This data is used only to show reports to you and the team members you invite. RankCiter's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google user data is not used to train general AI models, is not sold, and is not shared with third parties except the service providers listed below that process it on our behalf to provide the features you use.

Service providers

To run RankCiter we use trusted providers that process data on our behalf:

• Hosting and infrastructure (Vercel).
• AI providers that generate summaries, answers and recommendations from report data (such as Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude).
• Web search for AI visibility checks (Tavily), which receives the questions you enter but not your Google data.
• Optional keyword and performance data providers (DataForSEO, Google PageSpeed Insights), which receive keywords or page URLs.
• Payments (Lemon Squeezy).

Storage and retention

Report data is fetched from Google when you open a report. Some settings and recent results may be stored in your browser or in our database so you do not have to run them again. You can disconnect RankCiter at any time from your Google account permissions, and you can ask us to delete your account data by emailing us.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access to Google data is read-only and limited to signed-in users. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting hello@rankciter.com.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
