This Privacy Policy explains how Yassine Malti ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you install or use RANKit, a Shopify app that writes meta titles and meta descriptions with AI, and when you use this website.
By installing or using RANKit, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, uninstall the app and stop using this website. The Terms of Service explain the rules for using RANKit.
Who we are
RANKit is operated by Yassine Malti, an independent Shopify app developer based in Ottawa, Canada. Shopify provides the store platform. RANKit is a separate app and is not owned by Shopify.
Information we collect
Account and store details from Shopify
When you install RANKit, Shopify shares the details the app needs to run:
- Your store domain and store name
- The store owner's name and email address
- An access token for the store data described below
- The billing status of your RANKit plan, as reported by Shopify
Store content the app processes
To draft meta tags, RANKit reads the product content you select and, when you apply a result, saves the meta title and meta description:
- Product images, titles, descriptions, vendor, and product type
- The meta title and meta description it saves when you apply them
- Settings you choose, such as language and which products to include
The app does not request access to your customers' profiles or order history.
Messages and this website
- Emails and other messages you send to support
- The email address you submit to the newsletter on this website
- Basic technical logs, such as browser type and the pages requested, used to keep the site working
How we use information
- Provide RANKit, including drafts and saving meta tags to your products
- Show credits, plan usage, and billing status
- Send service messages you asked for, such as support replies
- Protect the app, look into abuse, and meet legal duties
- Improve RANKit using aggregated use of the product. We do not sell your information.
AI models and other services
When you generate meta tags, RANKit sends the relevant product text, a sample of product images, and your settings to OpenAI. OpenAI processes that material to return a title and description. We do not let them use your store content to advertise to your customers.
When we share information
We do not sell personal information. We share it only in these cases:
- Shopify, which hosts your store, bills the app, and supplies the data the app is allowed to use
- Companies that host RANKit and store its database
- Email delivery for notifications and the website newsletter
- The AI and image providers above, only to complete the task you start
- Authorities when the law requires it, or when we must protect users' rights and safety
How long we keep information
We keep store data and access tokens while RANKit is installed, and for a short time after, so we can finish work already started, answer billing questions, and meet legal requirements. When you uninstall the app, Shopify tells us, and we delete or anonymize shop data we no longer need. Newsletter addresses stay until you unsubscribe. Support messages stay long enough to handle the request.
Security
We protect stored information with access controls and encryption in transit. No online service is perfectly secure. Keep your Shopify staff accounts protected.
International transfers
We are based in Canada. Information may be processed in Canada and in other countries where our hosting, email, and AI providers operate. Those countries may have different privacy laws. We take steps that fit the service to protect information when it moves.
Your choices and rights
- Uninstall RANKit in the Shopify admin to stop further access to your store
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter with the link in those emails
- Ask us for a copy, a correction, or deletion of personal information we hold about you
- If you are in the EEA, the United Kingdom, or a similar region, you may also object to certain processing and complain to your local authority
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Children
RANKit is a business tool for Shopify merchants. It is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. When we do, we change the date at the top of this page. If you keep using RANKit after an update, the revised policy applies.
