Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to RankWriting ("we", "our", or "us"). We operate the website www.rankwriting.com and provide an AI-powered content generation service for WordPress sites. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Account information: name, email address, and password managed via Clerk authentication.
• WordPress credentials: your WordPress site URL, username, and application password for publishing articles.
• Content inputs: industry, topic, keywords, and other inputs you provide to generate articles.
• Payment information: processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card details.
• Usage data: number of articles generated, subscription plan, and activity logs.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the RankWriting service
• Generate AI-written articles and publish them to your WordPress site
• Process payments and manage your subscription
• Send you service-related notifications and updates
• Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent abuse

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our platform:

• Clerk — user authentication and session management
• Supabase — database storage for your connections and article history
• Stripe — payment processing and subscription management
• Anthropic (Claude API) — AI content generation

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in Supabase databases with row-level security policies that ensure each user can only access their own data. WordPress credentials are stored in our database to enable publishing on your behalf. We implement industry-standard security measures, but no system is completely secure. Please use a WordPress application password (not your main login password) when connecting your site.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data and generated article history for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it longer.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@rankwriting.com.

8. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session and remember your preferences. Authentication cookies are managed by Clerk. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect service functionality.

9. Children's Privacy

RankWriting is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.
