Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 2, 2026
Introduction
LinkRank.ai ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website (linkrank.ai) and our Chrome browser extension ("LinkRank AI - SEO & GEO Tools").
By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
Chrome Extension
Our Chrome extension collects minimal data necessary to provide SEO and GEO analysis:
- Website URLs: When you choose to analyze a webpage, the URL is sent to our backend API for analysis. This only occurs when you explicitly click the extension icon or enter a URL for analysis.
- No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through the extension.
- No Browsing History: The extension does not track or store your browsing history. It only accesses the URL of the current tab when you actively initiate an analysis.
- No Authentication Required: The extension works without requiring login or account creation.
Website
When you visit linkrank.ai, we may collect:
- Usage Data: Anonymous analytics about how visitors interact with our website (pages visited, time spent, etc.).
- URLs for Analysis: If you use our website tools to analyze a URL, that URL is processed by our servers.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information exclusively to:
- Provide SEO and GEO analysis reports for the URLs you submit
- Generate technical metrics, performance scores, and optimization recommendations
- Improve our services and user experience
We do NOT:
- Sell your data to third parties
- Use your data for advertising purposes
- Transfer your data for purposes unrelated to our core service
- Use your data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes
Data Storage and Retention
- URLs submitted for analysis are processed in real-time and are not permanently stored on our servers.
- Temporary caching may occur to improve performance, but cached data is automatically purged.
- Local storage in the browser extension is used only for user preferences and is never transmitted to our servers.
Third-Party Services
Our extension communicates only with our secure backend API hosted at:
https://linkrank-api-backend.vercel.app
We do not share your data with any other third-party services for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.
Chrome Extension Permissions
Our extension requests the following permissions:
- activeTab: Allows reading the URL of the current tab only when you click the extension icon. This permission is temporary and user-initiated.
- Host Permission (linkrank-api-backend.vercel.app): Required to communicate with our backend API server that processes analysis requests.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. All communications between the extension and our servers are encrypted using HTTPS.

You have the right to:
- Stop using our services at any time
