3. Contact Forms & Enquiries
If you submit a RankLigence contact form, the information you provide may be used to respond to your enquiry, understand your project requirements, discuss requested services, prepare a quotation or proposal where appropriate, communicate about the requested work, and maintain necessary business records.
RankLigence may collect information such as your name, email address, optional phone number, selected service and project details through its contact forms.
Please do not submit passwords, payment-card information, authentication credentials, confidential secrets or other highly sensitive information through an ordinary contact form unless RankLigence specifically provides a secure method for doing so.
4. RankLigence Tools
RankLigence may provide free or publicly accessible online tools intended to help users with SEO, website analysis, content, link-related research or other digital workflows. Some tools may allow users to submit URLs, text, HTML or other website-related inputs.
Depending on the specific tool, submitted inputs may be processed temporarily to generate the requested result. Users should avoid submitting passwords, payment information, private credentials, confidential client information or other sensitive personal information into a tool unless the tool expressly states that such information is required and provides an appropriate secure process.
Some tools may access publicly available webpages or information supplied by the user. The exact processing performed by a particular tool may differ and should be understood from the tool’s interface or accompanying instructions.
If a RankLigence tool sends information to an external processing or infrastructure provider, that processing will also be subject to the relevant provider’s terms and privacy practices.
5. Cookies & Similar Technologies
RankLigence may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags or similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, maintain security, understand usage, improve performance and, where implemented, measure marketing activity.
5.1 Types of technologies
- Essential technologies: may be required for website functions, security or basic operation.
- Preference technologies: may remember settings or choices.
- Analytics technologies: may help us understand traffic, usage and website performance when enabled.
- Marketing technologies: may be used only if implemented for relevant measurement or advertising purposes and subject to applicable requirements.
The actual cookies used on rankligence.com depend on the current WordPress configuration and third-party services. Your browser generally allows you to view, block, delete or otherwise control cookies. Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality.
Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, the website should provide an appropriate consent or preference mechanism.

7. Legal Basis & Permitted Processing
The legal basis for processing personal information depends on the circumstances and the laws that apply to the particular processing activity.
Where applicable, processing may be based on one or more of the following grounds:

If you contact RankLigence by email or request communication from us, we may use the contact information you provide to respond to your enquiry and manage the related business communication.
Where RankLigence sends optional promotional or marketing communications, you may ask us to stop sending them. You may continue to receive necessary transactional, administrative or service-related communications where appropriate.
9. Sharing Information
RankLigence does not sell your personal information merely because you visit the website or submit an enquiry. We may disclose information where reasonably necessary to operate the business, provide requested services, protect the website, or comply with law.
This may include sharing with:

- Security, anti-spam and technical service providers
- Payment providers, where a payment service is used
- Professional advisers and contractors who need information to perform legitimate business functions

10. Third-Party Service Providers
RankLigence may rely on third-party providers to host, secure, analyze, communicate through, or otherwise operate portions of the website and business.
| Provider category | Potential purpose | When applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting / infrastructure | Website hosting, storage, networking and technical operation | When used by RankLigence |

RankLigence does not list a provider as being in use merely because it is a common service. Before publication, this section should be updated to name the actual third-party providers that process personal information on the live website, together with links to their privacy information where appropriate.
11. International Data Transfers
RankLigence may use service providers or infrastructure located in countries other than the country in which you are located. As a result, personal information may be processed across borders.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, RankLigence will seek to use an appropriate transfer mechanism or other legally recognized safeguard.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements and meeting legal, tax or accounting obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship and the reason the information is retained. Information may be securely deleted, anonymized or otherwise disposed of when it is no longer reasonably required, subject to applicable legal obligations.
13. Data Security
RankLigence takes reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
These measures may include access controls, secure website configuration, software maintenance, security monitoring, backups and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the systems involved.
No website, internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a security incident occurs, RankLigence will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond and will provide notifications where required by applicable law.
14. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and the laws applicable to your personal information, you may have certain privacy rights. These may include, where applicable:
- Requesting access to personal information we hold about you
- Requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Requesting deletion of personal information in circumstances where deletion is required or permitted
- Requesting restriction of certain processing
- Objecting to certain processing
- Withdrawing consent where processing relies on consent
- Requesting a copy of certain information in a portable format where such a right applies
- Submitting a complaint to an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority where available
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions. RankLigence may need to verify your identity or request before completing certain requests where permitted or required by law.
14.1 How to request privacy action
Send a privacy-related request to info@rankligence.com with enough information for us to understand and evaluate the request. Do not send passwords, payment-card information or other unnecessary sensitive information with a privacy request.
15. Children’s Privacy
RankLigence provides business-oriented SEO, digital marketing, content and web development services and its website is not directed specifically to children. RankLigence does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to RankLigence through the website, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed and addressed as appropriate.
16. Third-Party Websites & Embedded Services
The RankLigence website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, tools, social networks, publishers or other external services. Those services operate independently and may have their own privacy policies and terms.
RankLigence is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability or content of third-party websites. Review the applicable third party’s privacy information before submitting personal information to that service.
If the website uses embedded content or third-party functionality, that service may receive technical information when the embedded content is loaded or interacted with, depending on the provider and configuration.
