Your rankings are your business.

Pecking Order has no accounts, no cookies and no analytics. Your boards and pictures are stored in your browser, on your device, and nobody else can see them, including us.

What stays on your device

• Boards, tiers, item names, pictures you add and your settings are saved in your browser's storage for this site, mainly IndexedDB. They are never uploaded to a Pecking Order server; there isn't one.
• Exported images are drawn on your device. They only go somewhere when you download, copy or share them yourself, and then they go wherever you send them.
• To delete everything, remove boards in the app or clear this site's data in your browser settings. Nothing is kept anywhere else, so there is nothing else to delete.

When your browser talks to other services

A few features need pictures from the internet. Your browser then contacts those services directly. Like any website, they can see your IP address and the request itself, and their own privacy policies apply.

• Image search sends the words you type to the service you are searching: Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons (run by the Wikimedia Foundation, privacy policy) or Openverse (a WordPress.org project, privacy policy). The picture you choose is then downloaded from that service.
• Category packs download their pictures from Wikimedia (upload.wikimedia.org) when you install them. A few packs may use other open image hosts: GitHub, Open Library covers, TheMealDB or TVmaze.
• Image links you paste or drag in are fetched from the website they point to.

Hosting

The site's files are served by Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare handles the network requests for those files and may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses, to run and protect its network (Cloudflare's privacy policy). We have not added any analytics, tracking pixels or advertising.

Changes and questions

If this ever changes, this page will change first, and every edit is visible in the project's public history on GitHub. Questions are welcome on the contact page.
