Provider-secured sign in
Discord and Steam handle authentication. WARDOGS NOW does not store provider passwords or persistent provider access tokens.
1. Information stored by WARDOGS NOW
To operate your account, the site stores a provider account identifier, cached display name and avatar, WARDOGS NOW username, sign-in and presence times, profile settings, and the content or actions you choose to submit. This can include community memberships, squads, events, support tickets, creator settings, and moderation records.
2. Discord and Steam data
Discord OAuth and Steam OpenID confirm who you are without sharing your provider password with WARDOGS NOW. When available and permitted by your provider privacy settings, the site may cache your public Discord identity details and public WARDOGS Steam activity. Your preferred linked provider supplies the name and avatar shown on the site.
3. How information is used
Information is used to sign you in, display your profile, provide community features and player records, synchronize integrations you enable, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, and maintain platform security.
4. Privacy-conscious analytics
The site does not store visitor IP addresses. A daily rotating salt creates a one-day anonymous visitor identifier from network and browser information. Page path, referring host, device category, and country code supplied by the host may be recorded. Raw analytics are retained for up to 90 days, and browser Do Not Track signals are respected.
5. When information is shared
WARDOGS NOW does not sell personal information. Information is shown to other members only as required by the feature and its privacy rules. Limited data may be sent to a connected service when you or an authorized community owner enables that integration, or disclosed when legally required to protect users, the platform, or the public.
6. Retention and account removal
Account and community records are retained while needed to operate the service. Administrators can remove an account and its personal activity. Some moderation, security, audit, backup, or legal records may remain for a limited period where required for platform integrity or legal obligations.
7. Security and choices
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect stored information. You can control profile fields and linked identity presentation from your Account Center. Contact support to ask about your information, report a privacy concern, or request account removal.
