Privacy Policy

Ranked & Cited is operated by Rise Level Marketing (“we”, “us”, “our”). This policy explains what information we collect when you use rankedandcited.com or work with us, how we use it, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, email [email protected] and we will explain it plainly.

Information you give us

When you request a free audit, contact us, or become a client, you may give us:

• Your name, email address, and phone number.
• Your website address and a description of your business and location.
• Your goals and anything you choose to write in a message.
• Brand materials you share with us during a build, such as logos, text, and images.

We only ask for what we need to run your audit, design your site, and stay in touch.

Information we collect automatically

When you visit the site, our servers and analytics tools may record standard technical data: your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you view, and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site secure and to understand what is working.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies. Some are essential for the site to function. Others help us measure traffic so we can improve the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Prepare and deliver your free AI visibility audit and homepage concept.
• Respond to your messages and provide our services.
• Send you service updates, reports, and, if you are a client, billing notices.
• Maintain, secure, and improve the site and our work.

We do not send marketing email to people who have not asked to hear from us, and we never sell your information.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the business, and only as far as they need it:

• Stripe processes payments. Your card details go directly to Stripe and are not stored by us.
• Our hosting and email providers store the site and deliver our messages.
• Our analytics provider helps us measure site traffic.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep audit requests and client records for as long as we are working together and for a reasonable period afterward, so we can answer questions and meet our legal and accounting duties. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. To make a request, email [email protected] and we will respond promptly. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA, and we will honor them.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including secure hosting and encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe and to limit who can access it.

Children

This site and our services are meant for business owners and are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

International visitors

We work with businesses in many countries. If you contact us from outside the country where our providers store data, your information may be processed elsewhere. We handle it under this policy wherever it is processed.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our business or the law changes. When we do, we will change the date at the top, and significant changes will be made clear on this page.
