Subprocessors and connected providers
Last updated: August 21, 2026. A provider receives data only when deployed for Rankelo infrastructure or when a customer enables the related feature.
Core and optional providers
| Provider or category | Purpose | Status and data |
|---|---|---|
| Production hosting provider | Compute, network, TLS, and encrypted backups | Operator-selected before deployment; account, workspace, and service data |
| PostgreSQL with pgvector | Application database and vector search | Self-hosted in the production stack |
| OpenSERP | Search-result extraction | Self-hosted internal service; search terms and locale |
| OpenRouter | Optional/default free-model inference | Prompts and grounded context when AI runs; privacy routing requests data-collection denial and zero-data retention |
| SMTP provider | Transactional email | Operator-selected; recipient, subject, and message content |
| Search Console and GA4 integrations | Customer-connected, read-only OAuth; selected property data | |
| Razorpay | Subscription and payment processing | Customer-selected paid plan, contact and transaction references; no full card data stored by Rankelo |
| GitHub | Repository publishing | Customer-connected; repository metadata and approved content changes |
| Customer-selected CMS | Publishing to WordPress, Webflow, or webhook target | Only when configured; approved content and target credentials |
Public data sources that are not subprocessors
Common Crawl and public search engines are external data sources used for public-web signals. They do not receive Rankelo account credentials. Search terms and requested public domains may be sent when the corresponding lookup runs.
Changes and objections
Rankelo will publish material changes before a new subprocessor handles customer data when reasonably practicable. A business customer with a valid data-protection concern may contact contact@brandsap.com. The parties will seek a reasonable alternative; if none is available, the affected optional feature may be disabled or the service may be terminated under the Terms.
