Privacy Policy

Effective: February 14, 2026

At Ranger, we understand that privacy isn't just a policy — it's a fundamental requirement of our service. Your personal security depends on how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy outlines exactly what we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding it.

We are committed to transparency. Read this carefully. If you have questions, your Advisor can explain anything that's unclear, or email us at privacy@tryranger.ai.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you sign up for Ranger, you provide us with foundational data needed to run your protection scan:

Information We Discover During Your Scan

This is the core of what Ranger does. During your assessment, we discover publicly available data about you. We access:

  • Data broker networks and people-search databases
  • Public social media profiles and activity archives
  • Public records (property, court filings, business registrations)
  • News archives and press mentions
  • Breach and dark web databases where credentials are exposed

Critical distinction: We discover this data because it's publicly accessible. We do not hack, breach, or access private systems. Everything in your Protection Report comes from legally accessible sources.

Technical Data

When you access Ranger's platform: device information, IP address, session data, and usage metrics (pages viewed, time on platform).

Communication Data

We maintain records of encrypted communications with your Advisor, secure messages through the platform, and documentation of remediation requests. All communications are encrypted. We retain these records to provide continuity of service.

How We Use Your Information

Primary Uses

Service Improvement

We use aggregated, anonymized data to improve our detection algorithms and identify emerging patterns. Your data is anonymized in this process. We never use identifiable information from your assessment for service improvement.

What We Never Do

We never sell your data to advertisers. We never share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We never use your data for anything unrelated to your protection. We never monetize your information in any way. Your data is yours alone.

Data We Discover vs. Data We Store

Data We Discover

During your scan, we discover data points about you across the public internet — personal information on data broker sites, social media activity, public records, historical addresses, and login information exposed in previous breaches. This data already exists publicly. We don't create it. We find it.

Data We Store

We only retain the data necessary for your protection:

  • Your Protection Report
  • Removal requests submitted on your behalf
  • Removal status from data brokers
  • Ongoing monitoring alerts (Pro members)
  • Your Advisor communication logs
  • Authentication logs for security

Encryption & Security

Data in Transit

All communication between your device and Ranger uses TLS 1.3 encryption.

Data at Rest

All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption, including your Protection Report, communication logs, and assessments.

Advisor Communications

All communications with your Advisor occur through end-to-end encrypted channels. Advisor access is logged and audited.

Security Audits

Ranger undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing. We follow NIST cybersecurity guidelines. Security assessments are conducted at least annually.

Data Retention

During Your Membership

While you're an active Ranger member, we retain your data for the duration of your membership, including your scan results, reports, communication logs, and remediation history.

After Membership Ends

When you cancel, we permanently destroy all your personal data within 30 days. Backups are overwritten and log data is purged. We retain no copies after that window.

Immediate Deletion

At any point, you can request that all your data be permanently destroyed. We will comply within 24 hours. Contact privacy@tryranger.ai.

Exception: Legal Obligations

In rare cases where we're legally compelled to retain data, we will notify you unless legally prohibited. We challenge unwarranted data requests.

Your Rights

Right to Access

Request a complete copy of all data we've collected about you. We'll provide this in a structured format within 10 business days.

Right to Deletion

Request deletion of any or all of your data at any time. We will delete your information within 30 days.

Right to Correction

If information in your assessment is inaccurate, request correction. We will review and update accordingly.

CCPA Compliance (California Residents)

You have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. You can request disclosure of what personal information we've collected and opt-out of any "sale" of personal information (which we don't do).

GDPR Compliance (EU/UK Residents)

If you're in the EU or UK, GDPR applies. You have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object. We process your data based on your explicit consent.

To exercise any rights, email privacy@tryranger.ai. We respond within 10 business days.

Third-Party Data Sources

Data Broker Networks

We access licensed people-search and data broker databases to identify exposed personal data and initiate removal requests on your behalf.

Public Records

We access publicly available government records including property ownership, court filings, and business registrations.

What We Do NOT Do

We do not hack into systems. We do not access private databases without authorization. We do not purchase hacked data. We do not conduct unauthorized surveillance. Everything we discover comes from legal, publicly accessible sources.

Children's Privacy

Ranger does not knowingly collect information from children under 18. However, during family protection scans, we may discover data about minor children — such as information on people-search sites or public records.

Any data we discover about minors is handled with additional encryption, restricted access, and shorter retention. We prioritize removal of minors' data from data broker networks. If you have concerns, contact your Advisor or email privacy@tryranger.ai.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Any material changes will be communicated via your account portal at least 30 days before taking effect. Your continued use of Ranger after the notice period constitutes your acceptance of updated terms.
