Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ranked Writers collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website or use our services. By using our site or communicating with us, you agree to the practices described here.

Who we are

Ranked Writers provides academic writing support, tutoring, and related services to students in the United States, the United Kingdom, and worldwide.

Information we collect

We collect information in three ways.

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Provide responses to and manage your requests and orders
• Match you with qualified experts and support your project
• Communicate with you about timelines, quotes, progress, delivery, and revisions
• Process payments and prevent fraud
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
• Improve our website services, quality checks, and security
• Run plagiarism and AI content screening on deliverables at your request or as part of our quality process

Legal bases for processing

Where required by law, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time
• Contract performance to provide the services you requested
• Legitimate interests such as improving services and ensuring security
• Compliance with legal obligations

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure site performance, and detect abuse. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser. Blocking cookies may limit some features.

Payment processing

Payments may be completed through PayPal, Remitly, bank transfer, or supported crypto processors. We do not store full card numbers or bank credentials. Those details are processed directly by the payment provider according to its own privacy policy.

Messaging platforms

If you contact us through WhatsApp or Telegram, your messages are subject to those platforms' privacy terms. Do not send sensitive personal information unless it is essential for the service. We will never ask for unnecessary personal data.

Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to operate our service:

• Qualified writers, editors, tutors, and quality reviewers bound by confidentiality
• Service providers such as cloud hosting, email tools, form handlers, analytics, and payment processors
• Plagiarism and AI screening tools used for quality checks
• Legal authorities, if required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or others
• With your consent for any other purpose

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose we collected it for and as required by law or to resolve disputes. Order files, login credentials, and communication logs are retained for the minimum period necessary. Credentials provided solely for a specific task are deleted once the task is complete unless you ask us to keep them for ongoing support.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure. We encourage you to use unique passwords and to share only what is necessary to complete your request.

International transfers

We serve clients around the world. Your information may be processed in countries that have different data protection laws than your own. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access a copy of your personal information
• Correct or update inaccurate information
• Delete your information or restrict how we use it
• Object to certain processing, including direct marketing
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Receive your data in a portable format where applicable

To make a request, email us. We may need to verify your identity before we act on a request.

California privacy notice

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents can request information about the categories of data we collect and disclose the sources, the purposes, and the categories of recipients, and can request deletion or correction as described above.

UK and EU privacy notice

If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union, you have the rights listed above under the General Data Protection Regulation and its UK counterpart. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children

Our services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old or the age of majority in their location. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it.

Academic integrity

Materials provided by Ranked Writers are study aids, reference examples, and learning support. They are not meant for direct submission. Use of our services must comply with your institution's academic integrity rules.

Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are not governed by this policy. Review their policies before sharing information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the new version on this page and update the effective date. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
