Who operates this website?
The Rankings Desk is owned and published by Elina Panteleyeva. ShowUpWithAI LLC is the legal and payout entity for the publication. This policy applies to rankingsdesk.com and the information collected through the site.
What information do we collect?
When someone visits the site, our hosting and analytics providers may process technical information such as the requested page, browser and device information, referring page, general location derived from an internet address, and interaction events. The site uses Google Analytics, including events that help us understand which rankings, research guides, provider links, affiliate links, and email links people select.
When someone emails The Rankings Desk, we receive the sender's email address and the information included in the message. Evidence submissions can include documents, links, screenshots, pricing, contract information, or other material the sender chooses to provide.
How do we use information?
We use information to operate and secure the site, understand which research is useful, improve navigation and editorial coverage, respond to messages, review corrections and evidence, keep publication records, and meet applicable legal obligations.
Editorial submissions are evaluated under the publication's evidence standards. Private material is not published without permission, but senders should not use ordinary email for passwords, payment details, health information, or other highly sensitive data.
When is information shared?
Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, analytics, security, and email. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the publication or others, or as part of a business transfer. We do not sell personal information.
What happens when you follow an external or affiliate link?
Rankings and research pages link to provider websites and primary sources. Some provider buttons are affiliate links. The destination site may collect information or use cookies under its own privacy policy. The Rankings Desk does not control those third party practices.
How long is information kept?
Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including editorial recordkeeping, security, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Retention can vary by the type of record and the service provider involved.
What choices and rights do visitors have?
Browser settings and privacy tools can limit cookies or similar technologies. Google also provides a browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics. Depending on where a person lives, applicable law may provide rights to request access, correction, deletion, or limits on certain uses of personal information.
To ask a privacy question or make a request, email hello@rankingsdesk.com. We may need enough information to verify and respond to the request.
Is the site intended for children?
The Rankings Desk is a business research publication and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly ask children to submit personal information.
Can this policy change?
Yes. We may update this policy when the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of the page identifies the current version.
