Who We Are
Ai Ranko (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website airanko.com and all tools hosted on it, including SEO analysis tools, image utilities, keyword research tools, and AI-powered content tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data.
This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of airanko.com, regardless of your location.
Data We Collect
We collect different categories of information depending on how you interact with our platform:
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Usage Data | Pages visited, tools used, time spent, clicks, errors | Automatically collected |
| Technical Data | IP address (anonymised), browser type, OS, screen resolution, referrer URL | Automatically collected |
| Account Data | Email address, display name, password hash (if you register) | Provided by you |
| Tool Inputs | URLs you submit for SEO analysis, keywords you enter, content you paste | Provided by you |
| Images | Images you upload to our image tools | Provided by you (browser-processed — see §4) |
| Communications | Messages you send via contact form or email | Provided by you |
We do not collect payment card details directly — any payments are processed securely by third-party payment providers.
How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect for the following purposes:
- Providing our tools and services — to process your inputs and return results (SEO analysis, image conversion, keyword research, etc.)
- Improving the platform — understanding which tools are used most, where users encounter errors, and how to improve performance
- Account management — if you create an account, to authenticate you and manage your preferences
- Security and fraud prevention — detecting abuse, spam, or malicious requests
- Communications — responding to your support enquiries or contact form messages
- Legal compliance — meeting our obligations under applicable law
Browser-Based Processing
For tools that require server interaction (such as SEO analysis tools that crawl external URLs, or AI-powered text tools), only the URL or text input you provide is transmitted to our servers or to third-party AI API providers. We do not store those inputs beyond what is necessary to return results to you.
Third-Party Services
We integrate with the following categories of third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy which we encourage you to review:
- AI API Providers — For AI-powered tools (content writing, SEO strategy, etc.), we may send your text input to third-party large language model providers. These providers are contractually required to protect your data and not use it for model training without consent.
- Web Analytics — We use analytics services to understand how the platform is used. IP addresses are anonymised before storage.
- Hosting Infrastructure — Our platform is hosted on cloud infrastructure providers. Data may be stored in data centres in the USA or EU, with appropriate safeguards in place.
- Payment Processing — If you upgrade to a paid plan, payments are handled by an industry-standard payment processor. We never see or store your card details.
We do not allow any third-party service we use to use your data for their own advertising purposes.
Data Retention
We retain your data only for as long as necessary:
- Tool inputs & results — Not stored beyond the duration of your session, unless you are logged in and explicitly save results.
- Account data — Retained for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time.
- Analytics data — Aggregated usage data is retained for up to 26 months for trend analysis.
- Support communications — Retained for up to 3 years in case of follow-up enquiries.
- Legal & compliance records — Retained as required by applicable law.
Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Correction — Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion — Request that we delete your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
- Restriction — Ask us to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
- Portability — Receive a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
- Objection — Object to certain types of processing, including for marketing.
- Withdraw Consent — Where processing is based on your consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.
These rights apply to users in the EU (under GDPR), UK (under UK GDPR), California (under CCPA/CPRA), and similar jurisdictions. Users in other regions may also have rights under their local laws, and we will honour reasonable requests regardless of location.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 12. We will respond within 30 days.
Children's Privacy
Ai Ranko is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete that data.
Security
We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including:
- HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- Hashed and salted passwords (we never store passwords in plain text)
- Regular security reviews of our infrastructure
- Access controls limiting who within our team can access personal data
However, no system is completely secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly to us at the contact address below.

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered users by email or via a notice on the platform. Your continued use of Ai Ranko after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
