Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 27, 2026

WoWNexus ("we," "us," "WoWNexus.gg") is an independent, fan-run World of Warcraft database. This page explains what information we collect, why, and the choices you have. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard Entertainment.

Information we collect

Account information

If you log in with Battle.net, we receive your Battletag and Blizzard account ID (BattleTag/Battle.net ID) from Blizzard's OAuth service so we can attribute your comments and activity to your account. We do not receive your Battle.net password - authentication happens entirely through Blizzard's own login page.

Community-submitted data

The WoWNexus Looter addon and desktop uploader let players voluntarily submit gameplay data - things like item drops, vendor inventories, NPC locations, quest information, and screenshots - which is stored and displayed publicly on the relevant item, NPC, quest, or zone pages. This data is tied to a reporter identifier, not your Battle.net identity, unless you're logged in when you submit it.

Comments and screenshots

Comments can be posted under your Battletag (if logged in) or as a guest under any name you choose. Submitted screenshots are reviewed by an admin before appearing publicly. Guest comment names are remembered in a browser cookie for convenience on your next visit.

Payment information

If you purchase a subscription, payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number - we only receive a confirmation of payment and a Stripe customer reference.

Cookies

We use cookies for:

• Site functionality - keeping you logged in, remembering a guest comment name, remembering your cookie consent choice.
• Advertising - if you accept cookies, Google AdSense may set cookies to serve and measure ads, and to personalize ads based on your activity on this site and elsewhere, subject to your Google ad settings.

If you're visiting from the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, you'll see a consent prompt (served through Google's certified consent management platform) before any ad-related cookies are set, where you can choose what to allow.

How we use information

• To display community-submitted game data on the relevant pages.
• To attribute comments and manage accounts.
• To process subscription payments and provide an ad-free experience to subscribers.
• To serve advertising that helps keep this site free to use (only if you've consented to it).
• To moderate submitted content (screenshots, comments) for quality and abuse.

We do not sell your personal information.

Third parties we work with

• Blizzard Entertainment - Battle.net OAuth login and the Game Data API that powers most of the database content.
• Google AdSense - serves advertising on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Stripe - processes subscription payments.

Your choices

• If you're shown a consent prompt (EEA/UK/Switzerland), you can change your choice at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.
• You can opt out of Google's personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com, or generally at optout.aboutads.info.
• You can request deletion of your account and associated comments by contacting us (below). Publicly submitted gameplay data (drops, vendor prices, locations, etc.) that isn't tied to your identity generally can't be individually attributed or removed once merged with community data from other players.

Children's privacy

WoWNexus is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
