Brand & IP Policy

Brand & Intellectual Property Policy

At Rank, we deeply respect brands, trademarks, and intellectual property rights. This policy outlines how we handle brand content, what rights you have as a brand owner, and how we can work together transparently and ethically.

What is Rank?

Rank is an independent, community-powered platform that helps people make smarter shopping decisions by comparing products, specs, reviews, and features — across a wide range of niches, from fitness gear to tech gadgets, nutrition supplements, and beyond.

We do not sell products. We do not impersonate brands. We provide structured, educational content based on publicly available data and community insights.

What We Include About Your Brand

We may display your brand name, logo, product title, features, specs, or pricing data for informational and comparative purposes. This typically includes:

Public product information (e.g. from your official website or resellers)
User-submitted reviews and feedback
Images that are hosted publicly or shared under fair use
Community-generated comparisons and rankings

Legal Basis: Fair Use & Editorial Use

Under global principles of Fair Use (US), Fair Dealing (UK, Commonwealth), and Editorial Exception (EU and others):

It is legally permissible to display a brand’s product in:

A comparative review

An editorial or educational context

A community-generated recommendation

We do not claim any ownership over your trademark or content. If any information is inaccurate or misused, we will correct it promptly.

When Brands Can Request Removal

We’re happy to review takedown requests under the following circumstances:

False or misleading claims about your brand
Use of copyrighted images or content not allowed under fair use
Trademark misuse suggesting false affiliation or endorsement
Exposure of confidential or unreleased products

If your complaint is based solely on "lack of permission" to mention your brand, but no legal infringement occurs, we reserve the right to decline the request — though we’re happy to collaborate to ensure fair representation.
