1. Scope and Service Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to the snooker match fixtures, live scores, tournament calendars, world rankings, player directories, learning guides, and in-browser interactive game available at rank147.com ("Frame Archive", "we", "us", or "our").

We are committed to respecting and protecting visitor privacy. We do not require account registration, do not provide user sign-in or discussion boards, do not collect personal financial or payment information, and do not process sensitive personal data.

2. Browser Preferences and Local Storage

To improve your browsing experience across visits, language and time zone preferences are stored locally on your device via standard browser localStorage under the keys rank147-locale and rank147-timezone. These keys are used exclusively by client-side scripts to restore your display preferences and are never transmitted to our database or used for cross-site behavioral tracking.

Interactive game sessions run entirely in client-side browser memory and do not persist personal identifiers or match records to server storage upon leaving the page.

3. Cloudflare Hosting, Edge Security and Technical Logs

Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Workers, Static Assets, and D1 database services. To deliver content efficiently, mitigate malicious attacks (such as DDoS attacks and unauthorized scraping), and diagnose technical malfunctions, Cloudflare's edge network automatically processes technical log data, which may include:

• IP addresses (anonymized or processed for security verification);
• Date, time, and requested URL paths;
• HTTP status codes, referrers, and browser User-Agent strings.

Technical log data is handled in strict accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy and retained only as long as necessary for operational security and network resilience.

4. External Official Media Resources

To present accurate snooker records, player portraits and flags may be loaded directly from official sanctioning body media domains (such as WPBSA or WST). When your browser retrieves these assets, the respective third-party server may receive standard technical request headers. These external providers operate under their own independent privacy notices.
