Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to HackTheRanks. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website hacktheranks.com (the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with its terms, please do not use our Service.

By using HackTheRanks, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. We are committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about our practices.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Game Account Identifiers: When you use our resource generators, you may provide your in-game username or player ID. This is used solely to deliver resources to your account.
• Device Information: We collect non-personal technical data such as your browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and device model to optimize our Service.
• IP Address: We collect your IP address for security purposes, fraud prevention, and to analyze regional usage patterns.
• Cookies: We use minimal cookies to maintain session state and prevent abuse. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect functionality.
• Verification Data: During human verification steps, third-party services may collect anonymous data to confirm you are not a bot. This data is not stored by us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Service Delivery: To generate and deliver resources to your game accounts as requested.
• Security: To prevent fraudulent activity, detect and prevent abuse, and ensure the integrity of our Service.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We use trusted third-party services (e.g., verification providers, analytics) that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, we may disclose information to comply with a legal obligation or protect the rights, property, or safety of HackTheRanks, our users, or others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred. We will notify you of any such change.

5. Data Security

We take data security seriously. All connections to HackTheRanks are encrypted using 256-bit SSL technology — the same standard used by banks and financial institutions. We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Service at your own risk.

6. Data Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Game account identifiers are used only during the resource delivery process and are not stored after the transaction is complete. We do not maintain a database of user accounts or sensitive personal information.

7. Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., verification providers, social media). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

8. Children's Privacy

HackTheRanks does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information.
