What this page covers
These notes describe how SourceRanker treats information when you use the site, the explorer and the API. They are general. They are not a contract, and they do not replace advice from a lawyer of your own.
SourceRanker is the operator of the service. The name appears on the site, and the about page explains what the service does.
Information involved in using the service
Signing in uses a Google account, so we receive the identity details Google shares for that sign-in. We use them to recognise your account.
Your account also holds a credit balance, your API keys and a record of the credit spent by your calls. We need these to bill correctly and to show you the balance.
When you call the API, the request itself, the domain you asked about and the key used reach our servers. That is how any web service works, and it is how we return the answer.
The link data we serve is built from our own crawler. It describes websites, not visitors of this site.
What we do with it
We use account details to sign you in, to keep your balance and keys, and to keep the service running and safe from abuse.
We use request records to bill credit, to find faults and to see which parts of the API are used.
We do not sell account details. We do not publish your key. We do not use your domain look-ups to write content about you.
Payments
Top-ups use USDT on the TRC-20 network, started from the account page. A blockchain transfer is public by nature, so the wallet address and amount you send can be seen on the network itself.
We do not ask for card numbers.
Your choices
You can stop using the service at any time. You can regenerate or stop using an API key from the account page if you think it has leaked.
If you want to ask what we hold about your account, or want it corrected or removed, make the request through the account page. We will answer there.
Keep your key private. Anyone holding it can spend your credit.
Changes to these notes
We may update the notes when the service changes. The date at the top of the page shows the last revision.
Continuing to use the service after a revision means you accept the revised notes. The terms of use describe the rest of the arrangement.
