This Privacy Policy describes how WarForge ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the WarForge software application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Key Principle: Your game credentials (username, password) are stored locally on your machine only and are never transmitted to our servers. We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the license system and improve the Service.
The following data is stored exclusively on your local machine and is never transmitted to our servers:
When the Software communicates with our license validation server, we collect:
| Data | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| License Key | Validate your subscription and feature access | Duration of account |
| Machine Fingerprint | Bind license to a single device (hardware hash — not your hostname or personal identifiers) | Duration of account |
| IP Address | Rate limiting, fraud prevention, and general security | 30 days (logs), then deleted |
| Software Version | Ensure compatibility and deliver updates | Duration of account |
| Subscription Tier | Enforce usage limits per tier | Duration of account |
| Heartbeat Timestamps | Verify active sessions and concurrent usage | 7 days, then deleted |
| Daily Exploration Count | Enforce daily limits per subscription tier | Rolling 24-hour window |
When you visit our website, we may collect:
All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. We do not directly collect, store, or process your credit card number, bank account details, or other financial information. Stripe's handling of your payment data is governed by Stripe's own Privacy Policy. The only payment-related data we receive from Stripe is:
We want to be explicit about data we never collect:
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
We use the following third-party service providers who may process data on our behalf:
These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it for the specific services they provide to us.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law; (b) protect our rights, property, or safety; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of the Service; or (d) protect the rights, property, or safety of others.
If WarForge is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or use of your information.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information:
While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy:
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will provide this in a commonly used, machine-readable format within 30 days of your request.
You may request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
You may request that we delete all personal data we hold about you. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will permanently delete your data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (such as payment records for tax compliance).
You may object to or request restriction of our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
Where we process your data based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.
Data stored locally on your machine (game credentials, browser profiles, logs, settings) is entirely under your control. You can delete this data at any time by uninstalling the Software or deleting its data directory.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at fullcentral@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Our website uses minimal cookies and browser localStorage:
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party marketing cookies.
The Software's built-in browser instance uses cookies and localStorage to maintain your game session. This data is stored locally in the Software's data directory and is not shared with us.
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at fullcentral@gmail.com.
Our license server is hosted in the United States. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers maintain facilities. By using the Service, you consent to such transfer. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following additional provisions apply:
