Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 17, 2026

RoomRanker ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at roomranker.com and the RoomRanker iOS application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your name and email address. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile picture from Google.

Listing data. If you post a listing, we collect the details you provide: title, description, price, location, and photos.

Saved listings and alerts. We store which listings you save and any alert preferences you set so we can notify you about new matches.

Device information. If you enable push notifications, we store a device token to deliver notifications. We also collect basic device type (iOS) and app version for troubleshooting.

Location. The app may request your location to show nearby listings. Location data is used only on your device to filter results and is not stored on our servers.

Usage data. We collect anonymous usage statistics (pages visited, search filters used) to improve the service. We do not track you across other websites.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the service (show listings, save favorites, deliver alerts)
• To send email digests and push notifications you have opted into
• To respond to support requests and contact form messages
• To display relevant advertisements through Google AdMob (iOS app) and Google AdSense (website)
• To detect abuse and maintain security
• To improve the service based on aggregate usage patterns

Advertising

We use Google AdSense (on our website) and Google AdMob (in our iOS app) to display advertisements. These services may use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your interests. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of the use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep you signed in to your account
• Remember your preferences
• Serve and measure advertisements

We do not use third-party tracking cookies beyond those required for advertising.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Google: For authentication (Google Sign-In) and advertising (AdSense/AdMob)
• Service providers: Hosting and infrastructure providers necessary to operate our service
• Legal requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our users

Data Retention

Account data is retained as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days. Listing data from public sources (e.g., Craigslist) is removed when the original listing is no longer available.

Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit and store passwords using secure hashing. While no system is perfectly secure, we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Your Rights

You may:

• Access and update your account information at any time through your account settings
• Delete your account from the Settings page in the app, or by contacting us
• Unsubscribe from emails using the link at the bottom of any email, or adjust preferences in your account settings
