Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 2026 · Committed to Zero Data Rent & Strong Encryption
1. Overview & Privacy Principles
RankTwig ("we", "our") respects your privacy. We do not sell your personal data, we do not broker search telemetry to third-party data aggregators, and we do not use your private Search Console metrics to train AI models.
2. Google API Services User Data Policy Compliance
RankTwig's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- Requested Scopes: We request strictly read-only access (
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly) to fetch search analytics data (clicks, impressions, CTR, position) and verify site ownership. - Purpose: Data is accessed solely to display your performance reports, calculate striking distance opportunities, and verify before/after experiment deltas.
- Data Retention: You may disconnect your Google Search Console account or delete any project at any time from Settings, which removes all associated local telemetry records.
3. Encryption of BYOK API Keys
When you optionally provide third-party AI keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter), your credentials are encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256-GCM encryption. Your raw plain-text secret keys are never exposed in client-side browser JavaScript and are decrypted exclusively in ephemeral server memory during an authorized request.
4. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to deliver the service:
- Account Information: Your name, email address, and Google avatar provided via Google OAuth during login.
- Project Configuration: Website root URLs, tracked keywords, and recorded optimization changes.
- Telemetry: Standard server access logs (IP address, user agent) maintained for security and abuse prevention.
5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We only share data with essential service providers necessary to operate the platform (such as our cloud hosting infrastructure). We never share, rent, or monetize your search data with advertisers, hedge funds, or SEO scraping syndicates.
6. Your Rights & Data Deletion
You have the right to request a full export of your data or permanently delete your RankTwig account and all associated project records. To request account deletion, email support@ranktwig.com.
