External services

EasyRankly does not call any external service from your server. It performs no analytics, tracking, or telemetry, and sends no data to any remote endpoint.

The only third-party reference appears in the optional XML video sitemap. When the video sitemap is enabled and a post embeds a YouTube video, EasyRankly adds that video’s public thumbnail URL (https://img.youtube.com/vi/<video-id>/0.jpg) to the sitemap so search engines can show a preview. The video ID is taken from the YouTube video you embedded yourself; EasyRankly does not contact YouTube — the URL is only written into your sitemap and is fetched by search-engine crawlers, not by your site. No personal data is involved.

This thumbnail service is provided by YouTube (Google LLC). Terms of Service: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms — Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
