However, keep in mind that disabling cookies might affect your ability to properly view and interact with our website.
• Third-Party Tracking Tools

• Legal Requests

We will attempt to notify you of such requests unless prohibited by law.

Third Party Payment Processors

To ensure the security of your personal and financial information, we use third-party payment processors to handle transactions. These processors are industry leaders in secure payment processing and are fully compliant with relevant regulations. Their use of your personal information is governed by their own privacy policies, which you can access at the following links: http://stripe.com/us/privacy.

By using our website and services, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the terms of these third-party privacy policies. We do not store any sensitive payment information on our servers.

Security

We take the security and privacy of our users’ information very seriously. To protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we employ robust security measures, including:

• Secure databases: We store all user information in secure databases that are protected by industry-standard access controls.
• Encryption: We encrypt sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card numbers, to prevent unauthorized access.
• Firewalls: We use firewalls to restrict access to our systems and networks.
• Secure passwords: We require all users to create strong, unique passwords and encourage password managers to further enhance security.

While we strive to implement the latest security technologies and best practices, we cannot guarantee complete security against cyber threats. Therefore, we advise users to remain vigilant and aware of potential risks when transmitting Personally Identifiable Information online.

Please note that you transmit Personally Identifiable Information through our website and services at your own risk. While we make every effort to protect your information, we cannot assume responsibility for any breaches or unauthorized access that may occur despite our best efforts.

Data Retention

We retain Personally Identifiable Information for as long as is necessary to provide services to our Users, subject to the following exceptions:

• Payment and credit card information: We do not retain payment or credit card information longer than necessary to process payments and fulfill our legal obligations. Once the transaction is completed, this information is deleted from our systems.
• Other Personally Identifiable Information: We may retain other types of Personally Identifiable Information for a longer period, provided it is necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Policy. This includes information needed to:
  • Provide services to our Users.
  • Enforce agreements and resolve disputes.
  • Protect our legitimate interests.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

After the retention period has expired, we will delete or anonymize the Personally Identifiable Information, unless we have a legitimate reason to keep it longer. Anonymization means transforming the data into a form that prevents identification of individuals, making it impossible to link the data to a specific person.

It is important to note that we may keep backup copies of our databases for a reasonable period, which may include Personally Identifiable Information. These backups are used exclusively for restoration purposes in case of data loss or corruption, and are not accessible to the public or used for any other purpose.

Email Communications

• Service-Related Communications
  We will send you emails related to your project inquiry, project, web hosting, or any maintenance and website updates. These communications are essential to ensuring your project runs smoothly and are not promotional in nature. Since they are not promotional, there won’t be an opt-out option unless you decide to end your relationship with us.
• Promotional Emails
  If you give us permission, we may send you emails showcasing new features or services that could benefit your business. We understand that sometimes promotional emails can be annoying, which is why we always include a clear unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email. Feel free to click that link anytime you want to stop receiving these kinds of emails.

We will never sell, rent, or trade your email address to any unaffiliated third party without your permission.

Links to Other Websites

Links to External Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites that are not operated or controlled by UpRanking. We cannot take responsibility for the privacy practices of these external websites. We recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of any websites that collect your information before submitting any personal data.

Scope of Privacy Policy
This privacy policy only applies to information collected through our website. It does not apply to information collected by other websites or organizations, even if you access them through links on our site. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of all websites that collect your information to understand how they will use and protect your data.

If we make significant changes to our privacy policy, we may also notify you through other channels, such as email or a blog post. The effective date of the privacy policy will be updated to reflect the date of the most recent revision. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the terms of the revised privacy policy.

Note: The phrase “material changes” is often used to describe changes to a privacy policy that significantly impact the way personal information is collected, used, or shared. It’s important to clearly define what constitutes a material change in your privacy policy, so that users understand when they need to review the policy again.
