Visiting the site

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages guildies use. It records page views, referrers, approximate location (such as country), browser, operating system and device type. These are anonymous statistics, not linked to your Discord account or profile, and it sets no analytics cookies.

Before sending a page URL, we remove query parameters and fragments and replace member and character-card ids with a placeholder. We don't send profile details or game data to analytics.

Our host (Vercel) also keeps short-lived technical logs with your IP address and browser type to keep the site running and safe. We don't use those logs for anything else.

Logging in with Discord

• We ask Discord for identify and guilds. We store your Discord id, username, display name and avatar, and keep them in step with Discord.
• Your server list is only checked at login to see whether you are in the FWB Discord server. We don't store it.
• We use your verified Discord identity to check your membership and roles on the FWB server for the members area and companion uploads. We store your Discord id, the server and role settings used, membership and admin status, and when the check was made and expires. Checks last at most 15 minutes; login and admin actions check again immediately. Each new check replaces the previous result.
• A login cookie keeps you logged in. It is needed for the members area to work, so we don't ask for consent for it.

What you add yourself

All optional, all editable on your Me page.

• Birthday: day and month only, no year. You choose whether the guild may see it and whether the bot congratulates you. You can also set it with /birthday in Discord.
• Real name, nationality, PvE or PvP and Horde or Alliance preference.
• Battle.net tag and Warcraft Logs profile link.
• Your main character and the spec of your characters.
• Events you add to the guild calendar, and the events you say you're going to.
• Link codes you make to link a character to your account. They expire after 15 minutes.

The FWB add-on and the companion app

The add-on records game data in its own save file. The companion, if you install it, uploads that file to the site. Without the companion, nothing leaves the game.

What gets uploaded about your own characters:

• Name, class, race, gender (male or female, for the race portrait), level, spec, faction, realm, guild name and the in-game character id.
• Your dings, with zone, time and /played.
• The numbers from the game's Statistics panel (quests, kills, deaths, dungeons, gold looted and so on).
• Your professions and skill levels.
• The recipes your characters know, read when you open a profession window, so guildies can find who crafts what with /craft in Discord.
• XP progress every 10 minutes of play, and how much of your XP was rested bonus.

What gets uploaded about other guild members:

• The guild roster: name, class, level, rank, public guild note. The site only takes this from officers.
• Joins, leaves and kicks from the guild, and dings and link codes heard on the guild add-on channel.

So your characters can show up on the site even if you never install anything yourself, because an officer's add-on sees the guild roster. That only covers what every guild member can see in game.

What the companion does on your PC:

• It only reads the FWB add-on files of the WoW accounts you tick. It doesn't read chat, passwords, keystrokes or any other file.
• Your WoW account folder name never leaves your PC. We only get a scrambled code (a hash) of it, to keep characters of the same account together.
• Its settings and a personal upload key are saved on your PC. On the site we only store a scrambled copy of the key, the PC name you gave it and when it was last used. You can disconnect a PC on your Me page.
• It asks the site every so often whether there is a new version.

Raid sign-ups (Raid-Helper)

When you sign up for a raid with the Raid-Helper bot in Discord, we copy the sign-up to the site so it shows on the calendar: your Discord id, name, class, spec, role, sign-up status and time.

Polls

The Forever Inventory (the 2026 PvE or PvP poll) is stored by the name people used in it, with their answers. Members can claim their own vote and change it. If you don't set a preference yourself, your profile shows your Forever Inventory answer.

For the other polls, like Member of the Month, a vote is stored with your Discord id, your name at the time of voting, what you voted for, whether you voted on the site or in Discord, and when. You can vote with the buttons under a poll's Discord message without logging in here; we then get your Discord id and name from Discord. For Member of the Month we also store the Discord id and name of the guildie you voted for, and when the poll opens the bot may save the names in the FWB Discord server so they can be picked on the site. The winner gets the Member of the Month feat.

Our Discord bot

Admins switch each of these on or off and pick the channel on the admin page.

• Birthday greetings and a Birthday role for the day, only if you said it may announce.
• Dings, feats (like First to 60) and a daily report with guild stats and character names.
• A Connected role for members who logged in on the site and have a character in the guild.
• Discord nickname: if the guild has switched this on, the bot sets your nickname on the FWB Discord server to your main character's name. We keep the last nickname we set so we don't repeat it. Don't want this? Don't pick a main, or ask an officer.
• The weekly FWB Herald, a fun recap written with AI (see Services below).
• Polls with vote buttons and the running count. Votes in normal polls show who voted what; Member of the Month only shows the result once it closes, and then names and congratulates the winner.
