We review category rankings whenever a tool's underlying dimension scores change meaningfully, when a new tool enters the category, or when a tool is deprecated or acquired. The ranking reflects current scores, not a one-time snapshot — check the methodology note below for what specifically feeds into the privacy score driving this list.
No — rankings are generated purely from our independent dimension scores, the same scores used across every tool review and comparison page on RadarTrek. Some listed tools have affiliate links, which may earn us a commission if you sign up, but commission has no influence on score or rank order.
