Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2026
GMB Ranking ("we", "us", "our") operates the website https://www.gmbranking.com and the associated local-SEO tools (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
- Account information — your name, email address, and password when you register.
- Business Profile data — when you connect your Google Business Profile, we access business details you authorize (name, address, categories, reviews, posts, and performance metrics) to display and manage them within the Service.
- Usage data — pages visited, features used, scans and audits run, and basic device/browser information.
- Payment data — processed securely by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
2. Google user data & API Services
When you authorize access to your Google Business Profile, we use Google OAuth and the Google Business Profile API strictly to provide the features you request — reading and updating your profile information, reviews, posts, and insights. GMB Ranking's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not sell Google user data, and we do not use it for advertising. You can revoke our access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.
3. How we use information
- To provide, operate, and improve the Service.
- To generate AI-assisted audits, review replies, posts, and keyword suggestions at your request.
- To process subscriptions and send service-related communications.
- To secure the Service and prevent abuse.
4. Sharing
We share data only with service providers that help us run the Service — including Google (Business Profile & Places), Anthropic (AI processing), and Stripe (payments) — and only as needed to deliver the features you use. We do not sell your personal information.
5. Data retention & security
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission is 100% secure.
6. Your rights
You can access, update, or delete your account data, revoke Google access, and cancel your subscription at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at the address below.
