Summary

RapidAPI's Privacy Policy explains what data the company collects about you, who it shares that data with, and what rights you have. Every time you use RapidAPI's online services, its servers automatically record your IP address and browsing activity, and that data may be shared with service providers in the US and Germany and transferred to countries with different privacy rules. Deleting your account does not erase your data if RapidAPI has received a legal preservation order or search warrant related to your account.

Analysis

The RapidAPI Privacy Policy establishes how RapidAPI collects, uses, shares, and retains personal data in connection with its services. RapidAPI automatically collects server-log data (IP address, access times, referring sites, pages visited) on every online access, and shares personal data with service providers in the United States and Germany. Cross-border data transfers occur to countries where RapidAPI operates, with some destinations recognized as adequate under UK GDPR and European Commission standards; foreign courts, law enforcement, and regulatory or security authorities in those countries may in certain circumstances be entitled to access that data. RapidAPI asserts a legitimate interest as the basis for disclosing personal data in reorganizations, mergers, sales, or similar business dispositions, and will preserve personal data subject to a legal preservation order or search warrant even after a user deletes their account. Payment data on the RapidAPI Marketplace is governed by the applicable third-party payment processor's own privacy notices, not by this policy.

What this means for you

For an individual user, this document means that data collection is automatic and continuous from the moment you access RapidAPI's services online, that your personal data can be shared across borders and with third parties in a wide range of business and legal circumstances, and that account deletion does not guarantee erasure when a legal order is in place. Your payment data on the RapidAPI Marketplace is subject to the payment processor's own privacy notices, which you must review separately. If you receive marketing-related emails, mobile messages, or social media direct messages from RapidAPI, you can opt out by using the unsubscribe or opt-out links provided within those messages; however, RapidAPI will continue to send you administrative messages regardless of that opt-out. RapidAPI does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 16.
