This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by Elevate Rank LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, operating under the brand “ElevateRank” (“we,” “us,” or “our”) in connection with our website at elevaterank.io and our done-for-you paid-advertising management platform covering Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads and Google Ads (Search, Performance Max, Display, and YouTube) (collectively, the “Services”).
For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the UK GDPR,Elevate Rank LLC is the data controller of personal data collected directly through our platform. Where we process data on behalf of our clients (e.g., campaign data you provide), we act as a data processor under your instruction; a separate Data Processing Agreement is available at elevaterank.io/dpa (see also Section 13).
This Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services linked from our platform. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

To exercise any right, email info@elevaterank.io with subject line “Privacy Rights Request.” We will verify your identity before processing and respond within 30 days (or as required by applicable law, which in some states is 45 days with a possible 45-day extension). Requests are free unless manifestly unfounded or excessive.

- All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher (HTTPS enforced across all endpoints).

- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plaintext.
- Session tokens are stored in secure, HttpOnly cookies and rotated on re-authentication.
- API keys and secrets are stored as encrypted environment variables, never exposed to the client.
- Production infrastructure access is restricted to authorised personnel under the principle of least privilege.
- Payment handling is delegated entirely to Stripe, which maintains PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance.
No internet transmission is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and relevant supervisory authorities in accordance with applicable law.
