Privacy
No cookies, no accounts, no tracking, no adverts, nothing loaded from anyone else's servers. We keep only what the ledger and the map need.
What reaches this site
Only what is in a share link you copy in the game and paste into your browser. The share page sends it as soon as it opens, because pasting it is how you say yes; under the result you can see what the link held. A link can hold:
- Walked ground: where on the world map you walked, to within 8 yards, and roughly how often on foot, mounted or swimming. It is stored with the addon's random contributor number and nothing else, and given to the map builder in that form. We keep the busiest it has been for each bit of ground, so sending the same ground again changes nothing.
- Character totals: steps, distances, time moving and level, under a random character number. Used for the ledger, weekly totals and step races.
- Your character's name, realm, guild and faction, only if you turned on the leaderboard in the addon. A later link without them removes your name from the ledger.
- Step race progress, if you joined a race.
The walked ground and the ledger are stored apart: the map data does not carry your character number or name.
The link's contents sit after the #, which browsers never send to a server by themselves; the share page reads it and sends it to this site, and nowhere else.
Your address
To stop floods of links, we count how many links come from each internet address in an hour. We never store the address: we store a scrambled form of it, made with a secret that changes every day and is then deleted, so it cannot be turned back into an address. The counts are deleted after two hours.
Logs
The site writes a short line when something goes wrong (which page, which kind of error). It does not log links, their contents or addresses. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, handles the connection and may keep its own short-lived records as any web host does.
Fonts and pictures
Everything on these pages, including the typefaces (Cinzel and Alegreya, under the SIL Open Font Licence), is served from this site.
Removing your data
To leave the ledger, turn off the leaderboard in the addon and share once more. Map data carries only the addon's random number, not your name or account, so we cannot pick out yours to delete it.
