Privacy policy
Forever Classic collects very little personal data. There are no accounts, no advertising and no analytics. We only receive personal data when you send us a message or upload a tester file, and we use it only for that purpose.
Who is responsible for your data
Forever Classic is an independent fan project run from the United Kingdom. The operator of the site is the data controller for the personal data described here. You can reach us about privacy through the contact page.
What we collect and why
| Data | Why | Lawful basis | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your character settings (faction, class, level, professions) | To tailor pages to your character | Not applicable: stored only in your own browser | Until you clear your browser storage. We never receive it. |
| Contact messages (optional name, email address, topic, message) | To read and reply to your message | Legitimate interests | Up to 12 months, then deleted |
| Tester uploads (the addon's file of creature and quest positions, and an optional tester handle) | To build and verify the map, and to credit testers who choose a handle | Legitimate interests | While the map data is in use. Ask us to remove your handle at any time. |
| Server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested, time) | To keep the site secure and working | Legitimate interests | Kept by our hosting provider for a short period, typically up to 30 days |
The collector addon is designed not to record your account name, character name, chat or inventory. The contact form uses your connection address only to limit spam, and does not store it.
Cookies and tracking
Forever Classic sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising tracking. Your character settings use your browser's local storage, which never leaves your device. If we add analytics or adverts in future, we will update this policy first and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
Third parties
Game icons on the talent, race and class pages load from Blizzard's image servers, so your browser shares your IP address with Blizzard when it fetches them. Blizzard's own privacy policy covers that. Fonts and the 3D armour on the homepage are served from our own site. We do not sell or share your data with anyone else.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask to access the personal data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, and receive a copy in a portable format. Use the contact page and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Children
Forever Classic is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes, such as adding analytics, will be announced on the site before they take effect.
