Forever Armoury is a fan-made planning site for World of Warcraft Forever, run by two players. It isn’t made by or connected with Blizzard. This page says what it keeps about you, who can see it, and how to get it or remove it.

What we keep

• From Battle.net, when you sign in: your Battle.net account id, a number that tells us it’s you, and the list of your World of Warcraft Forever characters: each one’s name, level, race, class, faction and body type. The list is kept for 30 days, or until your next sign-in replaces it. We never see your password or email, and we don’t keep or show your BattleTag.
• From the game, for a character you claim: its level, realm type, body type, gear, talents, professions and picture, read from Blizzard’s public pages for that character and marked as from the game. They’re given as is and can be behind the game. Unclaim the character or switch its Live sync off and what was read goes at once; the character keeps the level, realm type, professions and body type it had, as yours to change. Nothing read is kept 30 days without Blizzard confirming the character is still there.
• What you save: your characters with their notes and fallback names, talent builds, macros, checklists and other progress, your parties, your guilds, and your settings.
• Your guilds: a guild’s name, crest, message of the day and text, its ranks and what each rank may do, its seats (which of your characters is in it, and at what rank), the notes and officer notes on each seat, the news posts you write in it, the letters you send to it (their subject, who sent it and how many accounts it reached, kept for 30 days), the raids you start for it, and the invites waiting for it.
• Your upvotes: which public talent builds you gave a thumbs-up, and when. A build shows only how many it has: nobody else sees who voted. Your own are in your data file, and they go with your account.
• Your action log: a line for each change to your account, such as a character created or a party joined, kept for 90 days.
• Feedback you send: the thumb, your words and which screen you were on become an issue in the site’s issue tracker on GitHub, where the two of us read them, with your account name if you’re signed in. The site’s own copy goes within 30 days.
• Sign-in: a cookie holding a random key for 30 days. We keep only a scrambled copy of it, so it can’t be read back.
• Your address (IP) is used to limit how often searches, invite lookups and feedback run, a minute at a time, and isn’t stored. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views without cookies.
• Which screens are open, and for how long, are added up in this browser and sent to the site a few times a visit, to see which parts of it get used. The count has nothing in it that says who you are, and it’s the same signed in or out.
• The site’s logs keep, for 3 days, each request the page makes to the site (the address asked for, how long it took) and any errors, to find problems. They don’t include your IP address.
• Signed out, your plans stay in this browser and never reach us.

Who sees what

• Anyone: your profile (name, avatar, public characters and builds, and your parties by name, and the guilds your public characters are in, with their realm and size), and your public characters and builds in search. A guild can be found by name, and its name shows under a shared character in it. Characters and profiles are public unless you make them private. A private profile leaves search, and links to your characters stop working until it’s public again. A private character or build stays with you.
• Your Battle.net account id is seen only by you, in your data file, and by the two admins.
• Your parties: other members see your public characters and builds, and the character you bring with its build. Only that character shows its fallback names. Anyone with a party’s invite link can join it.
• Your guilds: only a guild’s members can open it. They see its roster with each member’s character, level, professions, talents and launch checklist count, and the public notes. Officer notes show only to the ranks the guild master lets read them, and a guild’s invites only to the ranks that may invite. Every member sees the ranks’ names, but what each rank may do shows only to the guild master (a member sees what their own rank may do). Its news posts show to every member, with the name of the player who wrote each; a post goes with its author’s account if they delete it, and the site keeps when you last opened a guild, only to show the dot on the Guild tab. A rank the guild master lets mail the guild can send a letter to each account in the ranks it chooses, one letter to each account however many characters it has there; the letter shows the sender’s name and goes in your mailbox with the rest, for 30 days or until you delete it. Its raids are listed to its members, with each raid’s size, bench and leader; signing up to one shares your character with the raid as joining a party does. Anyone with a guild’s join link can join it while its guild master keeps the link on.
• Your notes are never shown to anyone else.
• The two admins can see everything on an account, to fix problems and deal with abuse. Every change they make is logged, and their log is kept for a year.

Your data, your choice

• Download it: the account menu (the gear by your name), then Download my data, gives you everything as a file.
• Bring it back: Restore from a data file, in the same menu, adds that file’s characters, builds, macros, routes and checklist to the account you’re signed in to. It leaves alone what the account already has, and keeps private things private. Parties and guilds aren’t restored.
• Correct it: change anything you saved at any time. Your display name is the one you chose.
• Delete it: the account menu, then Delete my account. Everything goes at once, and you leave your parties and guilds (one you lead passes to whoever joined next, or to the next in rank). Backups keep it for up to 7 days after that.
• If an admin removes an account for abuse, their log keeps its name and Battle.net account id for a year.

Where it’s kept

On Cloudflare, which runs the site and its database. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone else.
