Privacy Policy

Draft — pending review by legal counsel. This template was AI-drafted as a starting point. Do not treat it as final before RankTool.ai handles real user data at scale.

1. Who we are

RankTool.ai is operated by Brick2Bytes Solutions FZE, a company registered in the United Arab Emirates ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use ranktool.ai and related services (the "Service").

4. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

Where GDPR applies, we rely on: contract performance, legitimate interests (security, analytics, product improvement), consent (newsletters, non-essential cookies, certain marketing), and legal obligation.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We may share information with:

• Infrastructure providers (hosting, email, CDN, error tracking) under data processing terms
• Analytics providers (e.g. GA4, Plausible) subject to your cookie choices
• Affiliate networks — click metadata only, not your account profile
• Authorities when required by law

6. International transfers

We may process data in the UAE and other countries where our providers operate. We use appropriate safeguards where required by law.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object or withdraw consent. Account holders can delete their account in Settings. Contact us to exercise other rights.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures including encryption in transit, access controls, and audit logging for admin actions. No method is 100% secure.
