🔒 Short version: RankRax Tools processes all your files locally in your browser. Your uploaded files, documents, and data are never sent to our servers, never stored, and never shared with anyone.
1. Who We Are
RankRax ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website tool.rankrax.com and its subdomains. We provide free, browser-based utility tools for developers, analysts, and content creators. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our tools and website.
If you have questions, contact us at hello@rankrax.com.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to operate our website:
- Files you upload (CSV, JSON, Excel, PNG, audio, etc.): These are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. The file data is never transmitted to our servers. Once you close or refresh the page, all file data is gone.
- Usage analytics: We may use privacy-friendly analytics (such as Google Analytics or a self-hosted alternative) to understand general traffic patterns — e.g., which pages are visited and how long users stay. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
- Server logs: Like all websites, our hosting provider may log standard access data (IP address, browser type, referring URL, date/time of visit) for security and uptime monitoring. These logs are not linked to individual identities.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To serve the website and tools to your browser
- To monitor site performance, uptime, and security
- To understand aggregate usage trends and improve our tools
- To comply with legal obligations if required
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Cookies
RankRax Tools uses cookies in limited ways:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., session management). You cannot opt out of these without disabling the site.
- Analytics cookies: If we use Google Analytics or similar, anonymous cookies track general usage metrics. You can opt out via your browser's cookie settings or the Google Analytics Opt-out browser add-on.
- Advertising cookies: If we display Google AdSense advertisements, Google may set cookies to personalize ads. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details. You can manage ad personalization at Google Ad Settings.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
5. Third-Party Services
Our tools use the following third-party JavaScript libraries, loaded from CDNs:
- Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) — for typography
- PapaParse, jsPDF, SheetJS — for client-side file processing
- Google AdSense — for displaying advertisements (where applicable)
These services may collect their own usage data per their respective privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them if you have concerns.
6. Data Security
Since your files are processed locally in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, the risk of a data breach related to your files is effectively zero on our end. Our website is served over HTTPS (SSL/TLS) to protect data in transit between your browser and our servers.
7. Children's Privacy
RankRax Tools is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at hello@rankrax.com and we will delete it promptly.
8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or California, you may have additional rights regarding personal data:
- Right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold
- Right to object to or restrict processing
- Right to data portability
- Right to opt out of sale of personal information (we do not sell data)
Since we collect minimal identifiable data, most requests can be fulfilled simply by clearing your browser cookies. For other requests, email us at hello@rankrax.com.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our tools after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
