We collect three categories of data.

When you send a brief through rankthread.com, we collect:

• Your name
• Your company name (optional)
• Your email address
• The service category you select
• The message content you provide

Data your browser sends automatically

Like most websites, our servers log:

• IP address

Data collected through cookies

We use cookies for session continuity, user preferences, and basic analytics. Full details are in the How does RankThread use cookies? section below.

We do not ask for or store credit card details, health information, government IDs, or any data beyond what is listed above.

Why does RankThread collect this data?

There are three reasons we collect personal data:

1. To respond to your inquiry. When you submit the contact form, we use your details to read your message, write a reply, and have a conversation about whether RankThread is a fit for your work.
2. To deliver services. If you become a client, we keep relevant communication and project context for the duration of our engagement.
3. To improve the site. Aggregate traffic data tells us which pages are useful and where visitors get stuck. We do not use this data to track individuals.

RankThread does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to any third party.

How long does RankThread keep your data?

• Contact form submissions that do not lead to a client engagement: retained for 12 months, then deleted.
• Active client communications and project files: retained for the duration of the engagement plus 24 months for accounting, reference, and legal compliance.
• Cookies and analytics data: retained for 14 months or until cleared by your browser settings, whichever is shorter.

You can request earlier deletion at any time. See What are your data rights? below.

Who does RankThread share your data with?

We share data only with the third-party tools we use to operate the studio. These include:

• Web hosting providers — server logs and uploaded content live on the hosting provider’s infrastructure.
• Email delivery services — contact form submissions route through an SMTP provider to land in our inbox.
• Analytics platforms — anonymized site traffic data.
• Communication and project tools — if you become a client, your communications and shared materials are stored in the platforms we use to run the studio (email, project management, file storage).

Each provider has its own privacy policy. We select providers that comply with major data protection frameworks, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

How does RankThread use cookies?

Cookies on rankthread.com fall into three categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function (session management, security).
• Preference cookies — remember your settings, such as language or display preferences.
• Analytics cookies — record anonymized data about how visitors use the site.

You can disable or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how the site works for you.

What are your data rights?

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data RankThread holds about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent where consent is the legal basis for processing
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email info@rankthread.com with your request. We respond within 30 days.

How are international data transfers handled?

RankThread is operated from Bangladesh. If you are based in the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, or elsewhere, your data may be processed and stored in locations outside your home country, including the United States (where many of our third-party tools operate) and Bangladesh.

We rely on the privacy frameworks and contractual protections of our providers to maintain a standard of protection comparable to your local laws.

Does RankThread collect data from children?

This site is not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have collected data from a minor, email info@rankthread.com and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:

• The Last updated date at the top of this page will change.
