RankSight privacy policy
Last updated 11 November 2026
RankSight (“the extension”) is a Chrome extension by AddonNest. This policy explains what information it handles and why. It adds to our general privacy policy.
Page analysis
When you click the RankSight button, the extension reads the page in the current tab: its title, meta tags, headings, links, image alt text, structured data and visible text, and it requests that site's /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml. The analysis runs on your device. RankSight can't read any tab until you click its button.
AI suggestions
Only when you click an AI button, the extension sends a summary of that page to our server: its URL, title, meta description, headings, top keywords, the audit findings and up to 12,000 characters of its text. Our server forwards it to Anthropic's Claude API to generate the suggestions and returns them to you. We don't store the page content or the suggestions. Anthropic processes the data under its commercial terms and does not use it to train its models.
Usage
We count how many AI credits you use each month so we can apply your plan's limit.
Stored on your device
Your sign-in session, your daily free-audit counter and, on the Pro plan, the list of pages you analyzed with their scores are kept in Chrome's extension storage on your device.
Permissions
- activeTab, scripting: to read the page you're on, only when you click the button.
- storage: to keep your settings, history and sign-in on your device.
- identity: only for “Continue with Google”.
Your AddonNest account
An account is only needed for paid features. It is one AddonNest account shared by the website and all our extensions. We store your email address, an optional name and a securely hashed password — or, if you choose “Continue with Google”, your Google account's email address. We use it only to sign you in and to apply your plan.
Payments
Plans are paid on addonnest.com through Razorpay or Cashfree. Card, UPI and bank details are entered on their payment pages and are never seen or stored by us. We keep your order number, plan, amount, payment reference and the date your plan ends, and — if you pay with Cashfree — the mobile number you entered at checkout.
What we don't do
- No advertising, analytics or tracking inside the extension.
- No collection of your browsing history.
- No selling or renting of personal data. We share data only with the service providers needed to run the features described above.
- We don't use your data for anything other than providing RankSight.
The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Your choices
- Uninstalling the extension removes everything it stored in your browser.
- To delete your AddonNest account and every record linked to it, email us from the address you signed up with. We delete it within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is posted at this address with a new date.
