Privacy policy

Last updated 2 November 2026

Short version: Buddy stores only what it needs to run your account. No ads, no selling data. Google Analytics counts every visit; by using Buddy you agree to that. Operated by Novoatmos; contact us on the WarEra Buddy Discord.

What is stored

Your Buddy username and password. The password is kept only as a scrypt hash and can never be read back.
Your WarEra player id and name (public game data).
Optional: your Discord id and name, if you sign in with Discord. We ask for the identify scope only: no email, no messages.
A scrambled (hashed) form of the network address you signed up from, used to limit abuse. Your real IP address is not stored.
Login sessions, your refresh counts, and any reports you send.

Where data comes from and goes

Game data is fetched from WarEra's public API.
Cloudflare provides hosting (tunnel) and the Turnstile human check, so it processes requests to this site.
Google Analytics counts visits, signed in or not: which pages and sections you open, how long you stay, roughly where you are, what device you use, how you found Buddy, whether you're signed in, and when you sign up or log in. It never gets your username, password, Discord details or your game data. Google processes your IP address to work out your rough location; it doesn't give it to us.

Cookies

The login session cookie and short-lived sign-in cookies, plus _ga and _ga_XHVSYM4KN6 from Google Analytics to tell one visit from the next (they last two years). By using Buddy you agree to these cookies. No advertising cookies.

Deleting your data

Delete your account from the account menu and your account record is removed. For anything else, ask on Discord.
