Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-19. This is an MVP privacy document and may be updated as the product evolves.

What we collect

  • Audit input: the URL, company name, industry, target customer, competitors, and primary goal you submit.
  • Crawled content: titles, headings, visible text, links, and JSON-LD blocks fetched from the URL you submit and from competitors you list.
  • Email addresses you provide via the audit form or the lead capture form on the report pages.
  • Operational metadata: a hashed form of the request IP address (SHA-256 with a salt), user-agent string, and timestamps, used for rate-limiting and abuse prevention. We do not store the raw IP.
  • Payment metadata via Stripe (customer email, Stripe session and payment IDs). Full card data is held by Stripe, not us.

Why we collect it

  • To generate the AI audit and report you requested.
  • To send you the preview or full report by email.
  • To prevent abuse of the free audit (rate limits, honeypot).
  • To process paid unlocks and PDF downloads.
  • To improve the product in aggregate, anonymized form.

Third parties we use

  • Supabase — database and authentication.
  • OpenAI — generation of the audit and report content.
  • Stripe — payment processing.
  • Vercel — hosting.

Data retention

Audits, reports, and leads are retained while your account exists, and for a reasonable operational period afterwards. You may request deletion via the contact link.

Your rights

You can request access to or deletion of your stored audit records, leads, and email. We will respond within a reasonable period. We do not sell personal data.

Cookies

We use a minimal set of cookies (e.g. for an authenticated admin session). We do not use third-party advertising cookies in v0.4.

No guarantee of AI search outcomes

AnswerRank AI does not guarantee placement, ranking, mentions, or citations in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, or any AI system. The service helps you improve clarity, structure, usefulness, and accessibility of your website content.
