1.Introduction

Rankify Xpert is an independent technology publication about Artificial Intelligence. We respect the privacy of everyone who visits the website and try to keep the information we handle to a minimum.

This policy applies to information collected through Rankify Xpert, including when you read articles, use the contact form or subscribe to updates. By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described here.

Some parts of this policy describe services that websites commonly use, such as analytics or advertising. These sections explain what happens if such services are used on Rankify Xpert, and where a specific service is in use, it will be named in this policy.

2.Information We May Collect

Information may reach us in two ways: information you choose to give us, and information that may be collected automatically when you use the website.

Information you provide

  • Name, when you fill in the contact form
  • Email address, when you contact us or subscribe
  • Contact form information, such as your subject and message
  • Newsletter subscription information, such as your email address and subscription status

Information that may be collected automatically

  • IP address, which can indicate your approximate location
  • Browser information, such as browser type and language
  • Device information, such as device type, operating system and screen size
  • Usage information, such as pages visited, time spent and how you arrived at the website

You do not need to provide any personal information to read articles on Rankify Xpert. Information you provide is only collected when you choose to submit it.

3.How Information May Be Used

Depending on the information and how it was collected, it may be used to:

  • Respond to inquiries, such as questions, corrections and suggestions sent through the contact form
  • Provide requested services, such as delivering content or features you have asked for
  • Send newsletters, only if you have chosen to subscribe
  • Improve website performance, such as page speed and how the website works on different devices
  • Understand website usage, such as which articles are most helpful, usually in combined, non-identifying form
  • Prevent abuse and security issues, such as spam, fraudulent activity and attempts to attack the website

We do not sell your personal information.

4.Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice.

Websites may use cookies to make pages work properly, remember settings, measure how the website is used, or show relevant advertising. Cookies generally fall into these types:

Essential cookies

Needed for the website to work correctly, for example to keep it secure or remember a choice you’ve made. These cannot usually be switched off without affecting how the website works.

Analytics cookies

Help a website understand how visitors use it, such as which pages are viewed most. They are only set if an analytics service is in use.

Advertising cookies

Used by advertising services to show ads and measure their performance, sometimes based on your interests. They are only set if advertising is in use.

The cookies actually set on Rankify Xpert depend on the services installed on the website. More detail is provided in our Cookie Policy.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

5.Analytics

Rankify Xpert may use a third-party analytics service to understand how visitors use the website, such as how many people visit, which articles are read and how visitors find the website. This helps us improve our content and the website itself.

If an analytics service is used, it may collect information such as your IP address, browser and device information, and pages visited, using cookies or similar technologies. This information is generally reported to us in combined form rather than identifying individual visitors.

6.Advertising

Rankify Xpert may display advertising in the future to help support the website. If advertising services are used, those services and their partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure how ads perform.

Depending on the service and your settings, ads may be based on the content you are viewing or on your interests, using information collected from your visits to this and other websites.

7.Newsletter

If you choose to subscribe to the Rankify Xpert newsletter, we will use your email address to send you updates such as new AI guides, tools and technology insights.

  • Subscribing is completely voluntary.
  • Your email address will only be used to send you the newsletter and related messages about your subscription.
  • You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in each email, or by contacting us.
  • After you unsubscribe, you will no longer receive newsletter emails.

Newsletters may be sent using a third-party email service, which stores subscriber information and may record whether emails are opened or links are clicked.

8.Third-Party Services

Like most websites, Rankify Xpert may rely on external services to operate. These can include website hosting, security and spam protection, web fonts, email delivery, and any analytics, advertising or newsletter services described above.

When these services process information, they do so under their own privacy policies and terms, which we do not control. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

10.Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. These may include secure connections, keeping website software up to date, spam protection and limiting access to information.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through the contact form or by email.

11.Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law. For example:

  • Contact messages may be kept for as long as needed to respond and to keep a reasonable record of the conversation.
  • Newsletter information is kept while you are subscribed, and may be kept afterwards only as needed to respect your unsubscribe request.
  • Technical information, such as IP addresses used to prevent spam, may be kept only briefly.

When information is no longer needed, it is deleted or made anonymous where reasonably possible.

12.Your Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights over your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • Access the personal information held about you
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain uses of your information
  • Withdraw consent where information is used based on your consent, such as unsubscribing from the newsletter
  • Receive a copy of your information in a portable format
  • Complain to a data protection authority in your country

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and some rights may be limited by applicable law.

13.Children’s Privacy

Rankify Xpert is a general technology publication and is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children under the age of 13, or the minimum age required by law in their country.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

14.Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when new services are added to the website or when laws change. Any updates will be published on this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continuing to use the website after changes are published means you acknowledge the updated policy.

15.Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to make a request about your personal information, you can contact Rankify Xpert through the contact page.
