Effective Date: March 18, 2026

1.   Introduction

Greekrank ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect, use, and share it. This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the Greekrank website and all related services (collectively, the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Platform.

2.   Information We Collect

We collect two general types of information: personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") and non-personally identifiable information ("Non-Personal Information").

Personal Information

You are not required to provide Personal Information to browse the Platform. However, certain features may require you to provide information such as your name, email address, username, Greek affiliation, and education information.

Non-Personal Information

When you use the Platform, we may automatically collect non-identifying information such as your IP address, approximate geographic location, browser type, operating system, device information, referring URL, pages visited, and Internet Service Provider. We may also collect information from postings you make on public areas of the Platform, messages you send to us, and correspondence we receive from other users or third parties about your activities.

Information from Third-Party Services

If you log in using a third-party service (such as Facebook or Google), we may receive profile information associated with that account, such as your name and email address, in accordance with the authorization you provide through that service.

3.   How We Use Your Information

We will never sell your Personal Information. We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Platform.
• To provide services and features to you.
• To communicate with you, including sending service-related emails or notifications.
• To personalize your experience on the Platform.
• To display relevant advertising through third-party ad networks.
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
• To share information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform, subject to contractual obligations to protect your data.

We may also disclose your information to law enforcement if required by court order, or if we reasonably believe that a violation of applicable law, our Terms of Service, or this Privacy Policy has occurred, or that a third party is at risk of harm.

4.   Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. These technologies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use the Platform, and deliver relevant advertising.

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential cookies: Required for the Platform to function properly (e.g., session management, security).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Advertising cookies: Used by us and third-party ad partners to deliver relevant ads and measure their effectiveness.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings and choices.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on the Platform.

5.   Third-Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads on the Platform. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to the Platform and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

6.   Third-Party Links

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of these websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

7.   Accessing, Editing, and Deleting Your Information

You may access, update, or request deletion of your Personal Information at any time by contacting us at https://www.greekrank.com/contact/. If you request deletion of your account, we will make reasonable efforts to remove your Personal Information from our active systems. Please note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, and some residual information may remain in backup copies.

8.   Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We may also retain and use your information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. User-generated content (such as ratings, reviews, and discussion posts) may remain on the Platform even after account deletion, as this content is part of the public record of the community.

9.   Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure hosting, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use strong passwords, keep your login credentials confidential, and use up-to-date antivirus software.
