What this system is for
The Old Gods tools help authorized guild leadership administer chapters, review guild activity, coordinate recruiting and events, manage the guild bank, and maintain operational records. They are not intended to monitor activity outside the guild information made available through World of Warcraft, the addon, or information a player submits directly.
Information we process
- Account information used to sign into this website, including display name, email address, roles, chapter membership, and authentication security records.
- Guild roster information such as character name, realm, rank, public and officer notes, guild join or departure events, and activity timestamps exposed to authorized guild officers.
- Guild bank balances, inventory, item IDs, deposits, withdrawals, repairs, player names, and transaction timestamps.
- Guild calendar, recruiting, raffle, and configured chat-channel records synchronized by authorized users.
- Bug reports, feedback, contact information, administrator notes, and resolutions submitted through this website.
- Technical records required to operate and secure the service, including login cookies, request logs, synchronization results, timestamps, and error logs.
Addon and Companion behavior
The addon stores guild data in World of Warcraft SavedVariables. The desktop Companion reads configured SavedVariables locally. Uploading to the guild website occurs only when a user configures the service and enables guild data upload. The Companion also keeps a local synchronization queue so interrupted uploads can be retried. Users should protect their computer account and Companion configuration because chapter API credentials are operational secrets.
How information is used
Information is used to provide guild administration features, show authorized chapter dashboards, detect incomplete or unusual bank activity for human review, prepare guild communications, troubleshoot software, respond to feedback, and protect the service. Automated indicators are review aids; they should not be treated as proof of misconduct without human verification.
Access and disclosure
Access is restricted by authenticated account, global role, and chapter membership. Some information—such as officer notes, administrative feedback notes, API keys, and guild-wide summaries—is limited to leadership roles. We do not sell player information. Data may be disclosed when necessary to operate the hosting service, investigate security incidents, comply with law, or protect the guild and its members.
External services
The website uses Blizzard's APIs to retrieve public World of Warcraft item metadata and artwork. Blizzard receives the normal technical information associated with those API requests, which are made by the server rather than by each player's browser. Links to Discord or other external services are governed by those services' own privacy practices.
Cookies and security
The website uses an essential authentication cookie to maintain signed-in sessions and an antiforgery cookie to protect forms. These are not advertising cookies. Connections should use HTTPS. Passwords are stored using ASP.NET Core Identity's protected password hashing, and chapter API keys are stored as hashes rather than recoverable plaintext.
Retention and corrections
Records are retained while they are reasonably needed for guild operations, security, historical accountability, troubleshooting, or legal obligations. Retention may vary by record type. Members may request review or correction of information associated with them, subject to guild recordkeeping and security requirements.
Questions or requests
Use the bug reports and feedback page to ask a privacy question, request a correction, or report a concern. Do not include passwords, API keys, or other secrets in a submission.
