Privacy Policy

LocalRank Audit is an online visibility tool for local businesses, available at localrankaudit.com ("the Service"). When this policy refers to "we", "us", or "our", it means the team operating LocalRank Audit.

This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Service, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights as a user. If you are a California resident, additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may apply to you — see the "Your privacy rights" section below.

Account information. When you register, we collect your name and email address. If you sign up via Google, we receive your name, email, and Google profile picture from Google's OAuth service.

Business information. When you run an audit, you provide your business name, website URL, location (city/town), business type, and a target keyword. This is the core input for the audit and is stored alongside your results.

Audit results. We store the full output of every audit you run: your website SEO scores, Google Business Profile data, local search rankings, AI visibility results, and the recommendations generated from them. These results are linked to your account.

Usage and session data. We store basic session information (see Cookies below) and record when audits were run. We do not use third-party analytics tools or advertising trackers.

We use the data we collect to:

• Run your audits and display the results in your dashboard.
• Generate your weekly improvement task list and score history.
• Send transactional emails — email verification, password resets, and audit report emails you explicitly request.
• Allow you to filter and compare audit results across projects.
• Improve the accuracy and reliability of the Service.

We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your business data for advertising. We do not send marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in.

Running an audit requires sending data to external APIs. Here is what each service receives and why.

We use two httpOnly session cookies. These are set by the server and cannot be read by JavaScript running in the browser. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

We keep your account data and audit results for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data — including your audit history, tasks, and competitor records — is permanently deleted within 30 days.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Danger Zone in your dashboard. This action is irreversible.

Regardless of where you live, you can:

• Access your data. Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct your data. Update your name and email directly in Settings at any time.
• Delete your data. Close your account via Settings → Danger Zone. This permanently deletes all your audit data, tasks, and account information.
• Request a data export. Email us and we will send you a copy of your data in a readable format.

California residents (CCPA). If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. To submit a request, email us at hello@localrankaudit.com.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@localrankaudit.com. We will respond within 30 days.

If you have questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at hello@localrankaudit.com.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend checking back periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
