This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the tracker or any companion tools you agree to this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We designed the tracker to run mostly client-side and to avoid collecting personal data. However, we may receive limited information in the following categories:
1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Messages sent through the contact form or email ([email protected])
- Community submissions shared via Discord or other channels (e.g., stock screenshots)
1.2 Automatically Collected Technical Data
- Anonymous analytics such as page views, device type, and approximate region
- Basic server logs (IP address, user-agent) stored temporarily for security and debugging
- Local storage keys saved in your own browser for preferences (watchlist items, last-seen history)
1.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies
We currently use a minimalist analytics cookie and essential local storage entries. No marketing or cross-site tracking cookies are deployed.
2. How We Use Information
We process the limited data above to:
- Deliver and maintain real-time shop tracking functionality
- Respond to support requests, bug reports, and feature suggestions
- Measure aggregate usage to prioritize improvements
- Enforce community guidelines and prevent abuse (e.g., bot spam)

Where privacy laws require one, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Legitimate interests for operating, securing, and improving the site

4. Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share data only when:
- Working with trusted infrastructure or analytics vendors who process data on our behalf under strict agreements

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
8. International Data Transfers
Servers and service providers may reside in multiple countries. When transferring data we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards required by law.
9. Children’s Privacy
