Privacy Policy

Who we are

ParseForge (parseforge.gg) is a free WoW Classic / TBC raid-log analyzer, operated by an individual, not a company. If you have questions about this policy or your data, email info@lootlistplus.com.

What ParseForge processes

When you paste a Warcraft Logs report URL, ParseForge fetches the public report data from Warcraft Logs' API on your behalf and analyzes it. That data — and the analysis we compute from it — is cached temporarily on our servers (via Upstash Redis) so that repeat views of the same report load quickly, typically for roughly 5–10 minutes per cached result before it expires.

If a report is public, its code is also kept in a short list (internally called pf:recent_reports) that we use to build our sitemap and power the "recent reports" links on the homepage. We never store private report data this way.

ParseForge has no user accounts. There is no login, no password, and no payment processing anywhere on the site — we don't collect or store that kind of data because we don't have anywhere to put it.

The report data shown on the site — player names, gear, buffs, parses, and rankings — comes from the public Warcraft Logs API and belongs to Warcraft Logs and the report's uploader. ParseForge only fetches a report when you paste its link; that data is cached briefly (above) and shown back to you, not resold or repackaged. The pages that display it — the report-analysis pages and the raid-audit page — also carry the advertising described below.

Analytics

We use PostHog to understand how the site is used — it records pageviews and automatically captured interactions like clicks and form submissions. Those events are sent through our own /ingest path rather than directly to PostHog's servers.

Session replay (a recording of how you interact with the page) never starts automatically. It only runs after you've given full consent, and even then every form input is masked and browser console logs are never captured.

If you're visiting from the EEA or UK, the Google consent dialog described below controls this: if you decline, PostHog runs in a memory-only mode and sets no cookies. If you're visiting from outside the EEA/UK, analytics are on by default, consistent with how most sites operate for visitors outside those regions.

Separately, Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights collect aggregate traffic counts and page-performance (Web Vitals) data for every visitor — this is not tied to an individual profile.

Advertising and your consent choices

We use Google Privacy & Messaging as our consent management platform, implementing the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2. Google AdSense serves display ads on the report-analysis pages (parseforge.gg/analyze/…) and the raid-audit page (parseforge.gg/tbc-audit). The homepage and the guides carry no ads.

The ad script can see the page URL and the general browser information any third-party script on a page receives — browser type, device type, and similar technical signals. ParseForge does not pass it your report code, character name, or any other analysis content.

If you're visiting from the EEA or UK, the ad script is not loaded at all unless you've given consent through the dialog above — declining, or leaving the dialog unanswered, means the script is never requested. See Google's advertising privacy page for what Google does with the data once an ad loads.

You can change your mind at any time by re-opening the consent dialog from wherever your browser or the page surfaces it.

Third parties

• Warcraft Logs (RPGLogs) — the source of the report data you paste a link to; we query their API on your behalf.
• Google — provides our consent management dialog and serves the AdSense display ads on the report-analysis and raid-audit pages.
• PostHog — product analytics, described above.
• Vercel — hosts the site and provides traffic and performance analytics.
• Upstash — provides the Redis cache that temporarily holds report data.
• Wowhead (wow.zamimg.com) — supplies item tooltips and icons; when you view a report, your browser makes a request directly to Wowhead's servers to load them.

Your rights

If you're in the EEA or UK, GDPR / UK GDPR gives you the right to access, correct, erase, or restrict the personal data we process about you, to receive a copy in a portable format, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time.

If you're a California resident, CCPA/CPRA applies: ParseForge does not sell your personal information for money. Advertising on the report-analysis and raid-audit pages may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law — the consent dialog above is your control over that. You have the right to know what we hold and the right to have it deleted.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@lootlistplus.com.

Children

ParseForge is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

If this policy changes, we'll post the update here with a new "Last updated" date at the top of the page.
