Privacy Policy
Effective: October 13, 2026
DankRank is built around evidence and clear decisions. That should apply to personal information too.
This Privacy Policy explains what DankRank collects through dankrank.ai, why we collect it, the service providers involved, how long we keep it and the choices available to you.
For privacy questions, access or correction requests, or a request to delete personal information, contact vee@dankrank.ai. Vee Popat is the privacy contact for DankRank.
What We Collect
Visibility Baseline requests
When you submit a contact or Visibility Baseline request, we collect the information you provide, including your name, work email, company and website details.
We don't ask for passwords, account credentials or sensitive account access through the form.
Contact inquiries
When you submit a contact or Visibility Baseline request, we collect the information you provide, including your name, work email, company and website details.
DankRank Intelligence
If you subscribe, we collect your email address and information needed to document/manage your subscription, such as signup date, source, consent wording/version and unsubscribe status.
A Visibility Baseline or Contact request does not subscribe you to marketing email.
Free AI Visibility Checker
When you run the Free AI Visibility Checker, DankRank processes the website or domain, question and country you submit to produce the result. Shared result links are unlisted, noindex and expire after 30 days.
If you ask us to email the result, we also collect your email address and keep the email address, result ID, send timestamp and delivery status for delivery and support, then delete them within 31 days.
Emailing yourself a result does not subscribe you to marketing.
To apply the free-check limit and stop abuse, the checker sets a necessary cookie that lasts up to 48 hours. It stores one-way keyed hashes of that cookie and of your network address, never the address itself, and deletes those hashed identifiers within four days of your most recent checker activity, including requesting an emailed result.
Technical/security information
Hosting, security and anti-spam systems may process technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as IP address, browser/device information, request timing and security signals.
Cloudflare Turnstile helps distinguish legitimate submissions from abuse. Verification is checked server-side. DankRank does not retain the raw Turnstile token after it is no longer needed to validate the request.
Analytics
When you choose Allow Analytics, DankRank uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 to understand site usage and successful conversions.
GA4 measurement is off until Analytics consent is granted.
When consent is granted, we also record which campaign, link, or referring page led to a specific form submission (Contact, Visibility Baseline, or Intelligence), so we can tell which outreach or channel generated that inquiry. This isn't collected if Analytics consent isn't granted.
DankRank does not send form names, email addresses, competitor details, messages or other form payloads to GA4.
Google Search Console may provide aggregate information about how the site appears in Google Search and does not depend on the site's optional GA4 consent.
Why We Use Personal Information
We use personal information to:
- prepare/deliver a requested Visibility Baseline
- run, save and deliver requested Free AI Visibility Checker results
- respond to inquiries
- operate and protect the site/forms
- prevent spam, fraud and abuse
- measure site use/conversions when Analytics consent is given
- send DankRank Intelligence after express signup
- maintain consent/unsubscribe records
- investigate security, legal or service issues where necessary
We don't sell personal information.
We don't treat a service-request form as marketing consent.
Service Providers
Cloudflare
Cloudflare provides site runtime and security services, including Turnstile verification. Information submitted through our forms may also be stored temporarily in Cloudflare D1 while we process and synchronize the submission. That lead payload is redacted after successful synchronization or, if synchronization continues to fail, no later than the seven-day retry limit.
Free AI Visibility Checker result records and results-email delivery records may also be stored in Cloudflare D1 so unlisted result links and email delivery can work, and are deleted within 31 days. Short-lived cached check data is kept there for no more than two days.
Resend
Resend is used for transactional website email and the DankRank Intelligence contact/broadcast system. It may process email addresses, delivery information and contact/subscription information required for those services. When you ask to receive a checker result by email, Resend also processes your email address and the message we send, which includes the website, country, question, a summary of the result and its link.
DataForSEO
The Free AI Visibility Checker sends the domain, question and country you submit to DataForSEO, which retrieves the Google Search, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT and Google AI Overview results the checker reports. Your email address and network address are not sent to DataForSEO.
When Analytics consent is allowed, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 process analytics, device and browser information used for site measurement. Separately, Google Sheets is used as the operational record for form submissions and may store the information you provide through those forms. This form-data processing is separate from Analytics consent.
If a provider changes in a way that materially affects personal-information handling, this Policy will be updated before that use goes live.
Retention
Non-client Visibility Baseline and Contact records are retained for 12 months after the last meaningful interaction, then deleted or anonymized.
If a prospect becomes a client, relevant information may move into the client record and be kept as required for the client relationship and applicable contractual, accounting or legal obligations.
GA4 user/event retention is configured to 14 months.
Intelligence consent records are kept while the subscription is active and as reasonably necessary afterward to document consent/unsubscribe and prevent unwanted re-mailing.
Turnstile verification tokens are not retained beyond technical validation.
Free AI Visibility Checker result records and results-email delivery records are deleted within 31 days.
Information may be kept longer where a legitimate legal, security, fraud-prevention or dispute requirement makes that necessary.
Your Choices and Rights
You may contact DankRank to ask about personal information held about you, request access/correction, withdraw consent where applicable, request deletion of information no longer required, or raise a privacy question/complaint.
Depending on where you live, additional rights may apply.
Email: vee@dankrank.ai
DankRank may need enough information to verify a request before disclosing or changing personal information.
You can unsubscribe from DankRank Intelligence through the unsubscribe mechanism in a marketing email.
You can change optional Analytics through Cookie Settings.
Cross-Border Processing
Some service providers may process information in Canada, the United States or other countries where they or their subprocessors operate. Information processed outside your province/country may be subject to laws in the jurisdiction where it is processed.
Safeguards
DankRank uses administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information collected, including limited access, secured provider accounts, server-side form validation, anti-abuse controls and keeping production secrets out of public source code.
No internet service can promise absolute security.
Children
DankRank is a business-to-business search agency. The site/forms are not directed to children, and DankRank does not knowingly seek personal information from children through the site.
Changes
If the tools/services behind DankRank materially change how personal information is collected, used or disclosed, this Policy will be updated. The effective date identifies the current published version.
