Advanced Web Ranking is fully committed to the security of your private data, in compliance with GDPR.

Data security

Encrypted login via HTTPS 

To prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy, account authentication is realized via username and password for both the main owner login and subsidiary team accounts. All page sections within the account are served through a HTTPS protocol. 

User account handling permissions

We enable different permission levels within the app to be set for your teammates. Besides the account main owner login, there are 3 kinds of inferior access users who can join the same core AWR account: admins, team members and customers

Secure access via whitelabel as well

The AWR account and data reports can be accessed via a custom subdomain, defined at user end, with SSL encryption activated. The AWR account data can be entirely masked under a custom host which is accessed externally using HTTPS. 

Encryption

Our API and application endpoints are SSL only.
