Privacy Policy

Overview

Rank Kiwi is a Google Chrome browser extension designed for researching creator content on Instagram and YouTube. This policy plainly explains what information is involved when you use the extension and when you visit our website.

Website Analytics, Microsoft Clarity & Google Analytics

When you visit the Rank Kiwi marketing website (rankkiwi.com), we utilize web analytics tools to understand visitor interactions and optimize site performance:

Microsoft Clarity & Advertising: We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Google Analytics (gtag.js): We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-Y2V6BK8R00) to collect aggregated, anonymized telemetry about page views, referral sources, device types, and site navigation paths. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies to evaluate website usage without storing personal identification.

Cookie Consent & Control: You can accept or decline non-essential analytics tracking via our on-site cookie consent banner at any time, or configure your browser to block cookies and tracking scripts.

Information processed

When you explicitly trigger an analysis, Rank Kiwi processes publicly available creator information displayed on the active webpage. This includes post titles, captions, publication dates, view counts, like counts, comment counts, and media URLs necessary to compute performance metrics and Outlier Scores.

How it is used

This information is used strictly to display analysis, perform sorting, apply filters, and enable exporting or downloading at your request. Rank Kiwi does not use this information for advertising or user tracking.

Browser-based processing

All analysis runs directly in your local browser sandbox. Rank Kiwi does not require a separate Rank Kiwi user account and does not maintain a server-side database of your analyzed content.

Data sharing

Rank Kiwi does not sell, rent, or monetize your analyzed creator content or research activity. No analyzed data is transferred to third-party data brokers or marketing networks.

Data retention

Because Rank Kiwi operates locally and does not operate a central content database, it does not retain a server-side history of your research. Any research exported as CSV or JSON is saved directly to your local file system under your control.

Authentication & Session handling

Rank Kiwi operates independently of your private credentials. It never accesses, intercepts, or transmits your Instagram or YouTube passwords, login tokens, or authentication cookies.

Third-party platforms

Rank Kiwi functions on supported pages of Instagram and YouTube. Your use of those platforms is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. Rank Kiwi is an independent extension and is not affiliated with Google, YouTube, Meta, or Instagram.

Security

We build Rank Kiwi to adhere to modern browser extension security guidelines, using minimal browser permissions and avoiding external script injections.
