What this means for you
  • SE Ranking's terms explicitly protect your inputs from training use — the policy is affirmatively favorable on this point.
  • Data handling is conditional — 3 privacy or retention clauses warrant review before using SE Ranking at scale.

How to read this page: Overall risk rates what SE Ranking's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data. The benchmark bands below grade those same verified terms relative to peers — a platform in a risky-by-default category can rate HIGH risk and still grade STRONG against its peer set.

Latest stance: sale or sell on commercial use

The following provisions apply specifically to individuals residing in the United States, in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws. These provisions describe our practices related to the collection, use, disclosure, and potential sale of personal information, with a particular focus on the rights of California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Under the CCPA and CPRA, “sell” and “sale” refer to the transfer, disclosure, or making available of a consumer’s personal information to a third party for valuable consideration. This does not necessarily involve a direct monetary exchange but may include other forms of benefit. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, we may allow Service Providers to process personal information for business purposes such as advertising, marketing, and analytics, which may be considered a “sale” under CCPA/CPRA. In the past twelve (12) months, we may have sold the following categories of personal information: Identifiers; Personal information categories listed under the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)); Commercial information; Internet or other similar network activity. The categories listed above align with CCPA/CPRA definitions. This does not mean that all types of personal information within these categories were sold, but rather that some data within these categories may have been shared in exchange for value.
