At Rankerli, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This GDPR Compliance Statement explains how we adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European Union's comprehensive privacy law that came into effect on May 25, 2018.
We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that we process personal data in compliance with GDPR principles and to protect the rights of EU data subjects.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information from individuals who live in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). It strengthens and unifies data protection for individuals within the EU and addresses the export of personal data outside the EU.
The GDPR gives EU citizens greater control over their personal data and requires businesses to be transparent about how they collect, use, and store this data. It applies to all companies processing the personal data of data subjects in the EU, regardless of the company's location.
Rankerli is committed to GDPR compliance through the following measures:
We've integrated data protection principles into our business processes and product development from the outset.
Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service clearly explain how we collect, use, and protect your data.
We've implemented processes to respect all data subject rights under the GDPR.
We have procedures in place to detect, report, and investigate personal data breaches.
Our commitment to GDPR compliance is ongoing. We regularly review and update our practices as the regulatory landscape evolves and as we enhance our services.
Under GDPR, we must have a legal basis for processing personal data. Rankerli processes personal data on the following legal grounds:
We process your data when necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, such as providing our services after you sign up for an account.
We process data to pursue our legitimate interests, such as improving our services, security, fraud prevention, and marketing our services. We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.
We process certain data based on your explicit consent, such as when you opt-in to receive marketing communications or when you connect your Google Search Console account to our services.
We process data when necessary to comply with a legal obligation, such as responding to lawful requests from law enforcement authorities.
The GDPR provides various rights to EU data subjects regarding their personal data. As a Rankerli user from the EU, you have the following rights:
You have the right to request access to your personal data that we process and obtain information about how we use it.
You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected or incomplete data completed.
Also known as the 'right to be forgotten', you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, particularly for direct marketing purposes.
You can exercise any of these rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer at dpo@rankerli.com. We will respond to your request within one month, as required by the GDPR.
To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
Rankerli is based in the United States, and your data may be transferred to and stored on servers located in the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
We ensure that any international transfer of personal data is protected by appropriate safeguards. These include:
You can request a copy of the specific safeguards we use for the transfer of your personal data by contacting our Data Protection Officer.
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing questions regarding this GDPR Compliance Statement and our privacy practices. The DPO serves as a point of contact for data subjects and supervisory authorities.

In accordance with GDPR requirements, we have implemented procedures to detect, report, and investigate personal data breaches. A personal data breach is a security incident that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to personal data.
In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will:
Notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible.
Provide detailed information about the nature of the breach, the approximate number of individuals affected, the potential consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address the breach.
Communicate directly with affected data subjects without undue delay when the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms.
We maintain a record of all personal data breaches, including the facts surrounding the breach, its effects, and the remedial action taken.
When we introduce new technologies or processing activities that may pose a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs). These assessments help us identify and minimize data protection risks.
Our DPIA process includes:
We consult with the relevant supervisory authority prior to processing where a DPIA indicates that the processing would result in a high risk in the absence of measures taken by us to mitigate the risk.
We may update our GDPR Compliance Statement from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new statement on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
We will provide more prominent notice of material changes, such as by sending an email notification or displaying a notice on our website.
