Effective Date: 26 May 2025.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. If significant changes are made, we may notify you via email or a notice on the website.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://readyrank.io.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view the Gravatar service privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be publicly visible in the context of your comment.
Email Marketing and Automation Tools
When you submit a form on our site — such as a contact form, newsletter signup, or request for a resource — we may collect personal information including your name, email address, and any other details you provide.
This information is used to respond to your query, deliver requested content, or send you relevant updates. If you sign up to our mailing list, your email address will be added to our email marketing platform (we currently use MailerLite) and stored securely.
We may also use automation tools like Make to help manage workflows, send email responses, or deliver digital content. These platforms store and process your data securely, and allow you to unsubscribe or manage your preferences at any time.
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors to the website can download and extract location data from those images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we’ll set several cookies to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an extra cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website directly.
These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content, including tracking if you have an account and are logged into that external site.
Analytics
We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, device type, browser, pages visited, and time spent on the site.
This data is used in an aggregated and anonymised form to improve our website’s performance, content, and overall user experience. No personally identifiable information is stored through these tools unless you explicitly provide it to us elsewhere on the site.
You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Third-Party Tools
Some features or forms on our website may be provided through third-party services such as Calendly, Airtable, Typeform, or similar platforms. These tools may collect and process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with through our site.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.
For users who register on our site (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Site administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold. This does not include any data we’re obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
