Privacy

tier is built to need as little as possible. There are no accounts, no ads and no third-party trackers.

What we store

• Lists: the topic and items you type, and when the list was made.
• Rankings: the name you enter and where you placed each item. Everyone who has ranked the same list can see these.
• A random device key in your browser's local storage, so you can come back and edit your ranking. If you made the list, a second key lets you remove rankings.

Lists and their rankings are deleted 60 days after anyone last ranked or made them. List links are unguessable and not listed anywhere, but anyone with the link can open it, so don't put private information in a list.

Abuse limits

To stop spam, we count requests per network for an hour using a one-way hash of your IP address. The hash can't be turned back into the address and is deleted within two hours.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It doesn't use cookies or fingerprint visitors.

Removing a ranking

You can remove your own ranking from the list page, and whoever made the list can remove anyone's. For anything else, contact the site owner through the tier.steele.app domain.
