Privacy Policy

Using the tools

You do not need an account or contact details to use RankMatrix. Predictor ranks, category, seat pool, state and settings are sent to our backend when you submit the form. Search text, filters, sorting and pagination are also sent when you use data tables.

Inputs do not stay only on your device. The backend processes requests and temporarily caches results. Hosting and network services may record technical data such as IP addresses, request times, URLs, errors and browser information. Do not enter names, contact details or sensitive information in search fields.

Storage on your device

Predictor form settings and your saved choice list (programme records and preference order) use browser local storage. Saved choices are not sent to our backend. Table filters and loaded results are held in application memory, rather than permanently saved as preferences. Your browser's site-data controls can remove saved settings. Clearing browser storage does not remove information already processed by servers or providers.

Providers, analytics and advertising

Microsoft Azure services host the website, backend and database. Vercel may also process technical request data when you visit a retained Vercel deployment. These providers handle technical request data to operate the service. Google Analytics can be enabled through deployment configuration. When loaded, it can process page visits, device information, cookies and interaction events. Reviewed custom events use aggregate counts and static labels rather than sending ranks, states, categories or search text as event values.

Google AdSense is the intended advertising provider. If advertising scripts are enabled, Google and its partners may process request/device information and use cookies or similar identifiers. Verification meta tags and ads.txt alone do not load ads. We do not claim all requests are anonymous, cookies are absent, or Google automatically supplies all consent controls a deployment may require.

See the Google privacy policy, Vercel privacy policy and Microsoft privacy statement for provider practices.

Advertising cookies and your choices

When advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to RankMatrix or other websites. Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalise ads using those visits. Ad serving may also involve web beacons, IP addresses and device identifiers. Read how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services.

You can opt out of Google's personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings. For participating third-party vendors, visit YourAdChoices. These controls affect ad personalisation; they do not replace a site's consent choices or necessarily stop all advertising or cookies.

Your browser can block cookies and clear site storage. Clearing storage also removes saved predictor settings and choices. The research tools do not require advertising cookies. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers.

Retention and requests

Browser settings remain until cleared or replaced. Cache expiry is separate from hosting logs, analytics retention and provider backups; we do not promise all server data disappears when a cache expires. Contact us about information associated with a request or a privacy concern. Do not send passwords, identity documents or unnecessary sensitive details. Email correspondence is processed by the email provider and may be kept to respond.

Contact: a.divyansh.25@gmail.com. Requests depend on information we can identify and applicable requirements. Not having an account does not make a privacy request irrelevant.
