Privacy Policy

What Warhammerism collects, why, and the choices you have.

Last updated:

Draft notice: this document is an operational draft describing how the site works today. It has not yet been reviewed by the site owner or a lawyer and is not legal advice.

Summary

You can browse the entire site without an account. We do not sell personal data, we do not run tracking pixels of our own, and the only personal data we store is what you give us when you create an account, save an army list, or post a comment.

Accounts

Creating an account stores your email address, a display name, and a salted hash of your password (we never store the password itself). Accounts exist so you can save army lists and post comments. You can request deletion of your account and its data via the contact route on our corrections page.

Cookies and local storage

  • Session cookieswh_user_session (signed-in visitors, 7 days) and wh_admin_session (site editors). A non-identifying hint cookie tells the page a session may exist. These are essential and set only after you log in.
  • Preview access — while the site is in private preview, entering the preview password sets wh_gate (30 days) so you are not asked again. It contains no personal data.
  • Local storage — some tools keep data on your device only: saved generator names, your tier-list ballot, and an anonymous random voting ID. None of it identifies you and it never leaves your browser except as described under “Tier-list votes.”

We set no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies ourselves.

Tier-list votes

Community votes are anonymous. Your browser generates a random ID which is sent with your vote and stored only as a one-way SHA-256 hash, so one browser gets one changeable vote per list. We do not store your IP address with votes; IP addresses are used transiently for rate limiting.

Comments and army lists

Comments require an account, are held for moderation before they are shown, and are stored with your account. Saved army lists are stored with your account; a shared army-list link encodes the list itself in the URL, so share links only with people you want to see them.

Analytics

When enabled, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless, privacy-focused analytics service that does not track you across sites or build a profile of you.

Advertising

Advertising is not currently active. If we enable ads (Google AdSense), the ad provider may use cookies or similar technologies subject to its own policies; this policy and the site will be updated first, including any consent controls required in your region.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links may be affiliate links, labeled as such — see the affiliate disclosure. Clicking an affiliate link takes you to the retailer, whose own privacy policy then applies. We receive no personal data back from retailers beyond aggregate commission reporting.

Infrastructure

The site runs on Cloudflare (hosting, media storage, and transient request logs used for security and rate limiting) with a database hosted by Neon. These providers process technical request data (such as IP addresses) as processors on our behalf.

Retention and contact

Account data is kept until you ask us to delete it. Moderation and security records are kept only as long as needed for those purposes. For any privacy request, use the route on the corrections page.
