Sub-processors
Last updated: August 7, 2026
To provide RankControl, we rely on trusted third-party service providers (“sub-processors”) that may process personal data on our behalf under written contracts requiring appropriate security and confidentiality. This page lists our current sub-processors. Some are engaged only if you choose to connect them (for example, your publishing platform or analytics provider). Locations are indicative of each provider's primary processing region.
