Privacy Policy

RankViaLinks values your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it when you use rankvialinks.com or contact us.

What information do we collect

Information you give us

• Your name, email address, phone number, and company name
• Messages you send through forms, email, chat, or WhatsApp
• Details needed to deliver services, like website URLs, target pages, keywords, and campaign preferences
  

Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, some information is recorded automatically:

• IP address and general location (not exact address)
• Browser, device type, and operating system
• Pages you view, time spent, clicks, and referring pages
• Cookies or similar technologies are used for basic site functions and analytics

Why do we collect this information

We use your information to:

• Reply to your messages and answer questions
• Provide our link-building and SEO related services
• Send service updates, invoices, and important notices
• Improve our website performance, security, and user experience
• Share marketing updates only when you choose to receive them

Cookies and tracking

Cookies help the website work properly and help us understand what visitors find useful.

We also count page visits with our own first-party statistics, which do not use cookies. For each page view we record the page, the referring site, your browser and device type, your IP address and the country it belongs to (looked up with the DB-IP database). We use this to understand which pages are useful and to follow up on enquiries and unfinished marketplace orders. Raw visit records are deleted automatically after 90 days. If you add sites to the marketplace basket, we store the sites you chose and, if you type them on the checkout page, your name and email, so our team can help you complete the order.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work correctly if cookies are blocked.

Free SEO tools

When you use our free tools (for example the website SEO checker), we fetch the public web page you enter and send the details you type, plus a summary of that page, to OpenAI to generate your results. Do not enter personal or confidential information into the tools. We keep the website address or keyword you entered and a one-way hashed version of your IP address to prevent abuse, and cache results for up to 7 days.

The tools are protected by Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, which collects hardware and software information (such as device and application data) and sends it to Google to check that you are not a bot. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

When we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only when it is needed to run our business or deliver services, for example:

• Website hosting providers and security tools
• Analytics services to understand website traffic
• Communication tools like email or CRM systems
• Payment processors, if you purchase services
• Contractors working under confidentiality for specific tasks

We may also share information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

Client campaign data and confidentiality

If you share campaign details such as target URLs, anchor preferences, or strategy notes, we use them only to deliver your campaign and reporting.

Access is limited to team members or contractors who need the information to complete your work.

Marketing messages and opt-out

If you sign up or request information, we may send updates related to services and offers. You can stop marketing messages anytime by:

• Using the unsubscribe option in emails, if available, or
• Messaging us with a request to stop

SMS and phone communication

If you choose to receive messages by phone, message frequency can vary. Standard message and data charges may apply.

You can stop SMS messages anytime by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP or contact us directly.

How long do we keep your data

We keep information only as long as needed to:

• Provide services and support
• Maintain business and billing records
• Resolve disputes and meet legal requirements

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. No system is perfect, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may request:

• A copy of your personal data
• Corrections to inaccurate information
• Deletion of your data is allowed
• Stopping marketing messages anytime
  

Children

Our website and services are not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
