Privacy Notice

The data controller is Carmelo Sacco. For privacy-related requests, contact bidrank.support@gmail.com.

When you create an account, we process your name, email address, and login credentials. Your password is stored as a hash, not in plain text. We use this information to create and secure your account and provide the features you request.

If you submit a project, we process its name, description, category, website address, optional image URL, and information linking it to your account. We use these details to manage the submission and, if published, display the project listing.

The site records project view and click counts to display statistics. Your browser uses sessionStorage to avoid counting the same visit more than once during a session. We use technical authentication cookies to sign you in. The current site code does not include third-party advertising or analytics tools.

Some pages load images hosted by third parties, including project image URLs and the Better Launch badge. When your browser requests those images, the relevant provider may receive technical connection data such as your IP address and request details. Those providers have their own privacy notices.

We process the information needed for your account and requested features to provide the service. We may process technical and security information based on our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and operational. Required fields are identified in the forms; without the necessary information, you may be unable to create an account or submit a project.

The site is hosted by Vercel. Application data is stored in a PostgreSQL database managed by an external provider. To deliver, secure, and maintain the service, these technical providers may process information such as IP addresses and technical request logs. Their retention periods depend on the providers’ settings and applicable policies. We have not configured newsletter, advertising, or third-party analytics tools. Payments are disabled in demo mode, and BidRank does not collect payment card details through checkout. Links to project websites lead to external services, which have their own privacy notices.

We keep account and project data while the account is active or while the data is needed to provide requested features. You may request account deletion by writing to bidrank.support@gmail.com. We will review the request and delete or anonymise the data when there is no legal obligation or legitimate reason to retain it. Backups and technical logs are kept for as long as needed for recovery, security, and service operation, according to the retention periods applied by our technical providers.

You may request access to, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal data, and data portability where applicable. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email address above. You may also lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali). We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning you.

We may update this notice to reflect changes to the service or its data processing. The updated version and its date will be published on this page.
