Privacy

Short version: we collect very little, only for features you choose to use, and we never sell it. Last updated 1 October 2026.

Browsing

• No accounts, and no advertising or tracking cookies today. We have applied to Google AdSense; see Advertising below for what changes if ads are switched on.
• Analytics: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies or local storage and without building a profile of you.
• Hosting: the site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks, under its own privacy policy.

The RankedRobot digest (newsletter)

If you subscribe, with your consent:

• Purpose: sending you the digest (new robots, price changes, Robot 500 updates and robot news, at most once a week). Nothing else. We never sell your address or share it for marketing.
• What we keep: your email address, the date you signed up, the page you signed up on and the version of the consent wording you agreed to.
• How long: until you unsubscribe, when the address is deleted (not just flagged). Before the first issue we email you once to confirm; addresses not confirmed within 30 days of that email are deleted.
• Where: stored in a Cloudflare database, which may be processed outside your country. Before we send the first issue we will name our email-sending provider here.
• Your choice: subscribing is optional; if you don't, the only effect is that you won't receive the digest. Unsubscribe any time with the link in every email or at rankedrobot.com/unsubscribe.

Viewer ratings

If you rate a robot:

• We store the robot, your 1–10 rating, whether you ticked "I own or have used it", the time, a random ID and a one-way hash of your network (IP) address.
• The random ID is kept in a single cookie (rr_v), set only when you rate, so you can change or remove your rating later. It is not used for anything else.
• The network hash is used only to limit repeated or automated voting, and is deleted after 30 days.
• Ratings are shown only as totals and averages; individual ratings are never published. You can remove your rating on the robot's page.

Advertising (not live yet)

We have applied to show ads from Google AdSense. No ads, and no Google advertising code, run on the site today. If ads are switched on, this section will be updated first, and:

• ads will appear only on news, guides and robot specification pages, below the main content and labelled "Advertisement", never on the Robot 500 rankings, best-of pages or methodology;
• Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads and measure them, including ads based on your visits to this and other sites; see how Google uses information from sites that use its services;
• visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent through Google's certified consent message before any personalised ads or advertising cookies are used, and anyone can turn off personalised ads in Google's ad settings;
• advertisers never see or influence our data, rankings or coverage.

Email

If you email us (hello@rankedrobot.com), we use your message only to reply, and we delete it when it's no longer needed.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, at hello@rankedrobot.com. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing. If you are in the EU or UK you can also complain to your data protection authority; in Korea, to the Personal Information Protection Commission.

Links

Links take you to other sites, which have their own privacy practices.

We will update this notice before adding any other feature that collects personal data.
