Privacy policy

Ranknet is built to work without knowing who you are. This page describes exactly what is stored, what is not, and for how long.

Data controller

The controller is DIGITAL FUTURE ENTERPRISE S.A.S., registered at Carrera 16 # 55-08, OnePot Coworking, Office 222, Bogotá D.C., Colombia. Full identification details are in the Legal notice.
To exercise your rights or raise any privacy matter, write to pqr@digitalfuture.com.co

To count visitors we store only the hash of a random identifier generated by the site itself, along with when it was first and last seen. That identifier does not come from you or your device: the server invents it.
We do not store your IP address, user agent, browsing path, or location.
Clicks on listings are counted in aggregate, per listing and per hour. We do not store who clicked, from where, or in what order.
We use your IP address in memory and transiently to rate-limit requests and curb abuse. It is never written to disk or retained.

Payments are processed by PayPal. Your card or PayPal account details never pass through Ranknet and are not stored here.
For each bid we store the listing, the amounts, the status, the date, and the order and capture identifiers PayPal returns.
For the events PayPal sends us we store the type, its identifier, and a hash of the content — not the content. That hash exists so the same payment is never applied twice; it cannot be reversed to recover data.
We do not store your name, email, address, or any other personal detail of the payer, and we never publish them alongside a listing.

The link or profile you submit, the displayed name, the category, the confirmed bid amount, the rank, and the aggregate clicks are public: they are the product.
If the link you publish contains personal data of yours, that data becomes public because you submitted it for publication.

ranknet_visitor: random identifier for the visitor count. It is httpOnly and lasts one year.
ranknet_locale and ranknet_theme: remember the language and theme you chose.
ranknet_admin_session: created only when signing in to the site's administration.
We use no advertising, profiling, or third-party cookies, and we load no external analytics.

With PayPal, to process the charge. PayPal handles your data as an independent controller under its own policies.
With the hosting provider, to the technical extent needed to serve the site.
We do not sell, rent, or hand data to anyone else, and we do not run profile-based advertising.

Bid and payment records are kept as long as needed to handle claims, accounting obligations, and legal retention periods.
Published listings are kept while they remain on the board.
Visitor counts and aggregate clicks are kept cumulatively, already without any identity attached.

Under Colombian Law 1581 of 2012 and its implementing rules, you may access, update, correct, and delete your data, and withdraw consent where applicable.
To exercise them, write to pqr@digitalfuture.com.co. We will respond within the applicable legal timeframes.
Note that much of what we store is not tied to an identifiable person, so we may be unable to link a record to you without additional information you provide.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio.
