Privacy policy

This policy explains what information the RankZuno website collects, why, and what choices you have. It also explains what the RankZuno plugin does with data on the websites where it is installed. RankZuno is made by ToolsNest (“we”, “us”).

The short version

• We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools on this website.
• You can browse the site and download the plugin without creating an account.
• If you leave a comment, WordPress stores the details you enter and some technical information, as explained below.
• The RankZuno plugin keeps its data on your own website and does not send anything to us.

Information collected on this website

When you visit

Like almost every website, the server that hosts this site records standard technical information in its access logs, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. These logs are used to keep the site running, secure it and fix problems. They are not used to profile you and are deleted on the hosting provider’s normal schedule.

The fonts and images on this site are served from our own server, so visiting the site does not send requests to font or analytics services.

When you download the plugin

Downloading the plugin is a normal file download. We do not ask for your name or email address, and we do not track who downloads it beyond the standard server logs described above.

When you leave a comment

If comments are open on a post and you leave one, we collect the name, email address and website you enter, the comment itself, your IP address and your browser’s user agent. This helps us moderate comments and prevent spam. Your email address is never shown publicly. Comments and their details are kept until they are deleted, and you can ask us to delete your comment at any time.

If you choose to save your details for next time, WordPress stores them in cookies in your browser. See our cookie policy.

When you contact us

If you contact us, we use the details you send only to reply to you and keep a record of the conversation.

Links to other websites

This site links to other websites, including toolsnest.io. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply when you visit them. See the ToolsNest privacy policy.

How the RankZuno plugin handles data

The RankZuno plugin runs on your own WordPress website. We do not operate it for you and we do not receive any data from it.

• No telemetry or tracking. The plugin does not report usage, errors or site details to us or anyone else.
• Audits run on your server. To check pages, the plugin requests your own site’s pages from your own server. Results, change history and settings are stored in your WordPress database.
• 404 log (off by default). If you switch it on, the plugin stores the missing address, a hit count, dates and the referring website’s domain. It never stores IP addresses, browser details or query strings, and old entries are removed automatically.
• Optional AI explanations (off by default). If you enable them and add your own provider API key, clicking “Explain with AI” sends that one finding and limited information about the page (its address, title, description, headings and up to 1,500 characters of text) to the provider you configured. Requests go directly from your server to that provider, never through us, and the provider’s own terms apply.
• Uninstalling. Deactivating keeps your data. Deleting the plugin removes its data only if you choose that in its settings. Stored API keys are always removed.

If you install RankZuno on a website, you are responsible for that website’s own privacy policy.

How long we keep information

• Server logs: for the hosting provider’s standard retention period.
• Comments: until the comment is deleted.
• Messages you send us: as long as needed to answer you and keep a record of the conversation.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to complain to your local data protection authority.

This website is intended for website owners and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the “last updated” date above.
