Privacy policy
RankShield is built on proof, not surveillance. Our products protect you, and our approach to your information reflects that: we practice data minimization, prove what needs proving without exposing what doesn't, and give you control. This page explains, in plain terms, how we handle information. It is a summary of our practices and may be updated; where a more detailed or jurisdiction-specific notice applies, that notice governs.
Our principle: minimum necessary
RankShield's core design is to verify and protect without collecting more than is needed. Our security products focus on integrity and threat signals — attack patterns, not your private content. Where we can prove something is safe without seeing the underlying data, we do.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly (such as an email address when you contact us or request access), information needed to deliver and secure our services (such as account, device-integrity and traffic-scoring signals relevant to protecting you), and standard technical information collected when you use our website (such as basic analytics and security logs). We aim to keep this to what is necessary for the purpose.
How we use information
We use information to provide, maintain and improve our products; to detect, prevent and investigate security threats and fraud; to communicate with you; and to meet legal and compliance obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
The RankShield Network
Our products share threat intelligence across the RankShield Network to make protection stronger — a threat seen in one place helps defend the rest. This intelligence is about attack patterns and integrity signals, not your private communications or content. The goal is collective defense, not profiling.
How we protect information
We apply strong technical and organizational safeguards, including modern and post-quantum-capable cryptography for the attestations and receipts our platform produces. No system can be guaranteed perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise; we design to contain and prove, and to fail safe.
Data sharing
We share information only as needed to operate our services (for example, with service providers acting on our behalf under appropriate obligations), to comply with the law, or to protect rights and safety. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. You can exercise these rights, or ask questions about this policy, by contacting us. We honor privacy-preserving technologies (such as Apple Private Relay) rather than penalizing them.
Cookies and analytics
Our website may use essential cookies and privacy-respecting analytics to operate and improve the site. Where required, we seek consent for non-essential cookies and default to the most privacy-preserving option.
Children
Our products are not directed to children under the age required by applicable law, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our products and legal obligations evolve. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date.
