Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Replatform Radar (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use replatformradar.com and our scanning service (the “Service”). It is operated by Replatform Radar LLC, located at 2501 Chatham Rd # 4858, Springfield, IL 62704, United States.

Information we collect

Content you post publicly

Comments on our articles are public. Anyone visiting the page, and search engines, can read your comment and the display name attached to it, so please don’t include anything private, confidential, or identifying about your employer or clients.

You can delete your own comment at any time. We may hide or remove comments that are spam, abusive, unlawful, or off-topic, and we may remove any comment at our discretion. Hidden comments stop appearing publicly but are retained in our records unless you ask us to erase them.

How we use it

Analytics and consent

Two different things run here, and the difference is what they do to your device rather than what they are called.

Measurement that stores nothing on your device runs for everyone. That is our own page-view count, Ahrefs Analytics, and the Vercel BotID check described above. None of them sets a cookie, writes to your browser’s storage, or gives you an identifier that survives the day, so there is nothing for a banner to be asking permission about. We do this because a measurement only taken on the people who click “accept” describes that group and no one else, which makes it useless for the one question worth asking — where our own pages lose people.

Anything that stores something on your device runs only if you accept it in our cookie banner: Google Analytics, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Microsoft Clarity. Decline and they are never loaded at all, rather than loaded and asked to behave. You can withdraw consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

Service providers

We share data only with vendors that help us run the Service, under agreements that require them to protect it — our hosting provider (Vercel), our analytics providers (Google Analytics and Vercel), our database provider (Neon), our scanning infrastructure provider (Render), our payment processor (Stripe), our email provider (Resend), and — only when you consent to analytics or advertising cookies — Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads) and LinkedIn (the LinkedIn Insight Tag) for measurement and advertising.

We do not sell your personal information for money. If you consent to analytics or advertising cookies, we share limited data — such as analytics events and ad-click/conversion signals — with Google and LinkedIn, which under some U.S. state privacy laws may be considered a “sale” or “share.” None of this happens unless you opt in, and you can withdraw consent or opt out at any time using the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

Communications

We send the transactional messages you need to use the Service — for example, your sign-in link, a notice that your report is ready, receipts, and account or security notices. With your consent where required, we may occasionally send product news; you can opt out of those at any time via the unsubscribe link or by emailing us. We do not sell your information.

Data retention

How long we keep each kind of data:

Downloading your data and closing your account

You can do both yourself, at any time, from your account page — no need to email us and wait.

You can also make either request by email at support@replatformradar.com and we will confirm once it is done.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request access to or deletion of it, and to correct it — and we will not discriminate against you for exercising those rights. California residents have these rights under the CCPA/CPRA; residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights. To make a request, email us at info@replatformradar.com.

Where your data is processed and security

We are based in the United States and your data is processed here. We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect it, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information (consistent with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).

Changes

We may update this policy; we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you.
