Your information, handled with respect.

Last updated: June 19, 2026

RankCTX, also operating as Rank Central Texas (“RankCTX,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), builds websites and provides local SEO and marketing services for businesses across Central Texas. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit rankctx.com, use our free audit tool, or contact us. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to respond to you and run our business.

Information you give us

• Contact and inquiry details. When you fill out a form on our site, we collect your name, business name, email address, phone number, the type of inquiry, any package you select, and the message you write.
• Audit requests. If you use our free audit tool at audit.rankctx.com, we collect the business name, website, or details you submit so we can prepare your report.
• Anything else you send. If you email, call, or text us, we keep that correspondence so we can help you.

Information collected automatically

• Basic usage and performance data. Our host, Netlify, records standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and page-load performance. We use this to keep the site fast, secure, and working properly.
• Cookies and similar technology. Our site uses minimal cookies needed for it to function and to measure performance. We do not currently run third-party advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies on rankctx.com. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as well.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry, prepare audits and proposals, and provide the services you request.
• To communicate with you about your project, including updates, reports, scheduling, and billing.
• To operate, secure, maintain, and improve our website.
• To send occasional updates or offers, only if you have asked to hear from us. You can opt out at any time.
• To meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we never have. We share information only in these limited cases:

• Service providers. We use trusted third parties to run our business, such as Netlify (website hosting and form delivery) and email and scheduling tools. They may process your information only to provide their service to us.
• Client services you ask us to perform. If you hire us to run Google or Meta ads, manage your Google Business Profile, or handle social media, we work within those platforms on your behalf and under their terms. We act on your instructions for your own accounts.
• Legal reasons. If required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business transfer. If RankCTX is ever merged, acquired, or sells assets, information may transfer as part of that transaction.

Third-party services and links

Our site is hosted on Netlify and may link to third-party tools and platforms such as Google, Meta, and our audit subdomain. Those services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites we do not control.

How we protect your information

We use reasonable safeguards, including HTTPS encryption across the site, to protect the information you share. No method of transmission or storage is ever completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take protecting your data seriously and keep it only as long as we need it for the purposes described above or as the law requires.

Your choices and rights

• Access and correction. You can ask what information we hold about you and request that we correct it.
• Deletion. You can ask us to delete your information, subject to records we are required to keep.
• Opt out. You can unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time, or simply ask us to stop contacting you.

To make any of these requests, just contact us and we will take care of it.

Children's privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. Significant changes will be reflected on this page, so we encourage you to check back periodically.
