Privacy

Your characters (names, class, race, level, professions and plan choices) and everything you tick off are saved in your browser's local storage. You can export them as a file, import them elsewhere, or delete characters on the Characters page.

Local storage also holds a random browser id and the list of characters already counted (see below), your stats-sharing choice, and your recovery code. None of these are cookies, and none are linked to who you are.

The optional Forever Companion app for Windows syncs your characters from the game. It adds one small addon to World of Warcraft (Forever Companion Sync), which saves your characters' name, realm, level, XP, race, class, faction, professions and completed quest ids into the game's own settings folder when you log out or type /reload. The app reads only that file, and sends it to our server each time it changes. Nothing else on your computer is read or sent. Every few hours it also checks our site for a newer version of itself, and installs it.

You pair the app with your recovery code on the Settings page. The app keeps its own key for sending; we store only a fingerprint of that key, when it last checked in, and the latest game data for each character (the fields listed above), under your recovery code. Nothing about your PC is stored: not its name, your folders, or your WoW account name. Your browser fetches that data while the site is open and in front, and updates your characters with it. Unpair stops the app at once; deleting your saved copy deletes everything the app sent. Uninstalling the app and removing the addon's folder from Interface/AddOns removes it from your PC.

In-game checks. As you play, the addon also notes facts about the game world, so the site can check its data against the game: a quest's level, zone and the XP it gave (with your level at the time, to tell full XP from reduced), its reward items, what drops from which creature, item details, which quests progress inside a dungeon, and rares you see with where you were. These travel with the same file. We keep each fact once with a count of how many players reported it; a player is a one-way fingerprint of their recovery code, and nothing ties a fact to you or your characters. Deleting your saved copy takes your reports back out of the counts.

Once you have a character, the site gives you a 6-character recovery code and saves a copy of your characters and progress (the same things listed above, names included) on our server under that code. Each change you make is saved to it, so you can get everything back on another computer or browser, or after clearing your browser data.

The code is the only key: anyone who has it can load those characters, so keep it to yourself. To stop people guessing codes, we limit how many wrong codes can be tried from one connection. For that we keep a one-way fingerprint of your IP address with each attempt, never the address itself. Only the site's server reads saved copies; the maintainers don't browse them.

If you lose your code, you can ask for it on the feedback page. Only then does a maintainer search the saved copies, by the character names you give, and email the code to you. Each time a code is shown to a maintainer, that's logged.

You can delete your saved copy at any time with Delete my saved copy on the Characters page. Your characters in the browser stay.

When you create a character, the site sends one message to us with its class, spec, race, faction, level, leveling priorities, dungeon style and professions, together with the random character id and browser id above. The browser id lets us tell alts from new players. Character names are never sent.

This powers the “characters created” count in the footer and helps decide what to build next (for example, which classes need more guidance). Only the site's maintainers can see it.

It's on by default. Switch off Share anonymous character stats on the Characters page and nothing more is sent. Because the stats can't be tied to a person, we can't look yours up afterwards; if you want them removed, send a removal request from this browser and we'll delete them.

If you use the feedback form, we keep what you write, the page it's about, your email if you give one, your browser type, and the browser and character ids above (never character names) so we can look into it. Only the site's maintainers read them.

We use Netlify Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages are visited, how many people visit, which sites send visitors here and which pages aren't found. It's worked out from the host's own request logs, so it adds no cookies or tracking scripts to your browser, and we only ever see totals, never individual visitors.

• Netlify hosts the site. Like any web host, it handles your IP address and browser details to serve pages and keeps short-lived request logs, which also produce the visit statistics above. Netlify's privacy policy
• Wowhead's image server (wow.zamimg.com) supplies item icons, so your browser loads those from it directly and it sees your IP address. Maps and dungeon art come from Wowhead too, but our server fetches them and serves its own copies. Wowhead's privacy policy
• Ko-fi handles donations if you choose to give. We only see what Ko-fi shows creators, such as the name and message you enter there. Ko-fi's privacy policy

Links to guides and other sites take you to their pages, which follow their own policies.

If what the site collects changes, this page will change first. Questions or removal requests: use the feedback form.
