What Auction Sentinel stores about you, where, for how long, and what you can do about it. Last updated 2 November 2026.
Who is responsible
Auction Sentinel is run by an independent developer, reachable at burideveloper@gmail.com. That is who to write to about anything on this page.
What we store
The public pages (prices, items, realms) need no account. Browsing them leaves only these two records, and nothing else about visitors is stored:
- The web server keeps access logs: your IP address, the page you asked for and the time. They are kept for up to 14 days, for security and troubleshooting.
- A counter of how many times each item page has been viewed. It is anonymous: it counts pages, not people.
Item icons are loaded from Blizzard's image servers, so your browser (or the mobile app) contacts Blizzard to fetch them, as it would on any site that shows World of Warcraft icons. The mobile app has no analytics, advertising or push-notification service built in; it only talks to our server and, for icons, to Blizzard.
If you sign in, we also store:
- Your Discord id and Discord name, from signing in with Discord.
- Your region, your alert groups, and the price limits you set on them.
- If you use the Companion: your own auctions, your sales, and the names and realms of your characters, as read from your game files.
We do not ask for your Blizzard password and we never see it.
Why we use it
- Your account, your alert groups and what the Companion sends: to give you the service you signed up for (performance of a contract).
- Server access logs: to keep the service secure and working (our legitimate interest in security and troubleshooting).
- The anonymous page counter holds no personal data.
Where it is kept
On a virtual server hosted by Webdock in the European Union. Alerts are sent to you as Discord messages, so Discord also handles those messages under its own privacy policy. Discord is based in the United States, so those messages and your Discord sign-in leave the European Union, under the safeguards Discord describes in its own privacy policy.
How long we keep it
- Auction house prices: 30 days.
- Your account and what is linked to it: until you delete the account. Deleting the account removes all of it from our systems.
- Backups: a backup made before you deleted your account can still hold a copy. The daily backups on the server are kept for 14 days, and the last 7 daily copies are also kept, encrypted, at an off-site location. After that the copy is gone.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have rights over your data, including to export it and to have it deleted. Once you are signed in you can do both yourself from Settings. For anything else about your data, write to burideveloper@gmail.com. If you think we are not handling your data properly, you can also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the AEPD (www.aepd.es).
What we do not do
- No advertising.
- We do not sell your data.
Cookies
Only technical ones: the cookie that keeps you signed in and a small flag that lets the public pages show the right button. Nothing tracks you across sites, and because none of them is optional there is no cookie banner.
Changes
If this page changes in a way that matters, we will say so on the site before it applies.
