Information We Collect

• Usage data: Like most websites, our infrastructure and security/CDN provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring/exit pages, and timestamps. This is used for security (blocking abusive traffic, bot mitigation), performance, and basic traffic analytics.
• Cookies and similar technologies: Cloudflare may set cookies for security and performance (for example, to distinguish humans from bots and to load balance traffic). These are standard infrastructure cookies and are not used by us to build advertising profiles.
• Optional account data: If you choose to sign in with Battle.net, we store the account and character information listed under "Battle.net Sign-In and Character Data" below. Signing in is entirely optional and every tool on the site works without it. We never see or store your Battle.net password, and there are no subscriptions or payment processing anywhere on the site.
• Voluntary contact: If you email us or use the form on our Contact page, we will see your message and any name or email address you choose to send. We use this only to respond, and never sell it.

Battle.net Sign-In and Character Data

WoWGoldFarms.com offers an optional sign-in through Blizzard's official Battle.net OAuth service. You are never asked for your Battle.net password: you authenticate on Blizzard's own site, and Blizzard tells us only what you approve. We request the openid and wow.profile permissions. If you never sign in, nothing in this section applies to you.

When you sign in, we store the following:

• Battle.net account identifier: A stable, opaque account ID issued by Blizzard. This is the key that recognizes you on return visits. It is never shown publicly.
• BattleTag: Your BattleTag (for example, Player#1234), used as a display name. Blizzard does not provide us with your email address at any permission level, so we do not have one for Battle.net accounts.
• Your World of Warcraft character roster: Fetched once at sign-in. For each character we store the name, realm, region, class, race, gender, faction, level, and Blizzard's character ID. This is what lets you post as one of your characters instead of an anonymous handle.
• Session record: A hashed session token plus its creation, expiry, and revocation times, and the IP address and browser user-agent used to sign in. Sessions expire after 30 days. The raw token is stored only in a cookie on your device, never in our database.

Your Blizzard access token is never stored. It is used once, at the moment of sign-in, to read your character roster, and is then discarded. We cannot act on your Blizzard account, see your gold, make purchases, or read anything beyond the character list described above. Refreshing your roster simply means signing in again.

If you use the optional community features, we also store:

• Comments: The text you post, what it was posted on, the time, your account, and the character you chose to post as. Comments are public. Readers see only the single character you posted as, together with its realm, class, race, and faction. The rest of your roster is never exposed, and which characters share an account is not published.
• Saved items: The items you bookmark, with their region.
• Keybinds: Your custom keyboard shortcuts for the site.
• Discord link (optional): If you link a Discord account, its Discord user ID and a short-lived verification code.

This information is used only to operate these features. It is not sold, not used to build advertising profiles, and not shared with advertisers. You can sign out at any time from the account menu, which revokes the session. To have your account, character records, and comments deleted, contact us through the Contact page.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them, or allow trusted third parties to use them, for the following purposes:

• Essential / security cookies: Set by Cloudflare to help protect the site from abuse and route traffic efficiently. These are necessary for the site to function reliably.
• Sign-in cookie: Set only if you sign in with Battle.net. It holds your session token so the site remembers you, expires after 30 days, and is cleared when you sign out. It is not used for advertising.
• Advertising cookies: WoWGoldFarms.com may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other Google advertising products. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) and similar technologies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this or other websites.

You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

This site may participate in the Google AdSense program and display ads from Google and its advertising partners. As part of this program:

• Google uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• For more on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
• Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits. Users can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Analytics

We may use privacy-focused or standard web analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns (which pages and tools are most useful) so we can improve the site. If we add a dedicated analytics service in the future, this policy will be updated to name the service and describe the data it collects.

Children's Privacy

WoWGoldFarms.com is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. World of Warcraft itself requires players to meet Blizzard Entertainment's age requirements.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Aggregate or technical data may be processed by our infrastructure providers (such as Cloudflare) and, where ads are displayed, by Google as described above, solely to operate, secure, and monetize the site. Account and character data from Battle.net sign-in is not shared with advertisers or any third party. Blizzard Entertainment is the source of that data, not a recipient of anything we hold. The only account data that ever becomes public is a comment you choose to post and the single character you post it as.

Your Choices

• Use the site without signing in. Every tool works for signed-out visitors.
• Sign out at any time from the account menu, which revokes your session immediately.
• Request deletion of your account, stored characters, and comments through the Contact page.
• Revoke this site's access to your Battle.net account at any time from your Battle.net account settings.
• Disable or clear cookies through your browser settings.
• Opt out of personalized Google ads via Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers via www.aboutads.info.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example as we add new features, analytics, or advertising partners. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" above.
