Privacy notice
How ForeverTracker handles your data, in plain English.
Last updated 7 November 2026.
Who we are
ForeverTracker is run by Tom Whitehead, a sole trader trading as Hinter Digital. We are the controller of the data described here.
What we collect
The streamer directory lists only what Twitch shows publicly: a streamer's Twitch name, avatar, language, live status with the stream title and viewer count, schedule, the title of their latest broadcast, their public clips (title, thumbnail and view count) and a link to their channel. We do not collect or publish emails, Twitch bios or anything private. Our web host keeps short-lived request logs (page, time and IP address) to run and secure the site. We count visits anonymously, without cookies. If you email us, we keep your message and address to reply.
Where it comes from
Streamer details come from Twitch's public API. Blue posts come from Blizzard's public forums. Character data comes from Blizzard's public game APIs. We do not get streamer data from anywhere else.
Characters and the boards
The boards rank World of Warcraft: Forever characters. For each character we store what Blizzard shows publicly: its name and surname, faction, race, class, level, ruleset, guild, last login and its in-game statistics, such as deaths and critters killed. We load a character when someone looks it up by name, when a guild roster that includes it is read, and when we refresh it. A character's name can identify a person, so we treat it as personal data. We use it to build the boards, on the basis of legitimate interests.
The data comes from Blizzard's public APIs, and ForeverTracker is a fan site, not affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard Entertainment. We delete a character 28 days after we last refreshed it, and sooner if Blizzard says it no longer exists. When you look a character up we keep a short-lived counter, for a few minutes, tied to a one-way hash of your IP address and a secret, so one visitor cannot flood Blizzard's allowance. We do not store your IP address for this.
To have a character removed, email privacy@forevertracker.com, or ask Blizzard to pass the request on. We delete it at once and keep only a one-way hash so it is not loaded again. The site is not aimed at children under 13.
When you look a character up, your browser remembers it on your device (in browser storage, key ft-characters) so the boards can highlight it. It holds the character's name and an id, up to 25 characters, and is never sent to us. You can forget one character or all of them on the character page or on the My characters page, or clear this site's data in your browser. We set no cookie for it.
Why we collect it
The directory exists to help viewers find streamers, on the basis of legitimate interests. Anyone listed can ask to be removed, and we do not list them again.
Twitch on this site
Your browser loads streamer avatars and clip thumbnails from Twitch's servers, so Twitch can see your IP address and browser details when you open a page that shows them. If you press play on a clip, Twitch's player loads inside the page and Twitch may set its own cookies. See Twitch's privacy notice.
How long we keep it
A streamer who has not streamed Forever for 7 days drops off the directory. A character is deleted 28 days after we last refreshed it. Backups age out within 35 days. We keep emails you send us only as long as we need to answer them.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction or removal by emailing us, and we answer within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
