Warden Privacy Policy

What this is

Warden is a browser extension and web service for guild analytics in the Hero Wars Alliance game. The extension intercepts the game's API responses in tabs on hero-wars-alliance.com and forwards them to the Warden backend (warden-api.pankov.dev) to build reports.

Warden is an unofficial project. It is not affiliated with the Hero Wars Alliance developers (Nexters).

What data is collected

• In-game RPC calls — responses for a fixed list of methods: guild wars (clanWar*), clashes (clanClash_*), guild info and player role (user_getClanInfo), inventory (inventoryGet), hero and titan progression (heroGetAll, titanGetAll) and player profile (userGetInfo). The full list is hard-coded in the extension as ALLOWED_METHODS. They contain publicly visible in-game information about team rosters, guild battles, battle map placements and the player's personal progression (used for importing inventory and heroes into their Warden section).
• Player identifier (ID from the game session) — used to bind data to your Warden account.
• Warden session token — stored in the hw_session cookie on the .pankov.dev domain for frontend authentication.

The extension does not intercept passwords, payment data, private messages or any APIs other than the ones listed.

Where and how long it is stored

• Backend: PostgreSQL on a server under our control.
• The raw RPC staging table (har_rpc_call) is purged automatically every 14 days.
• Derived domain data (war history, team rosters) is kept for as long as the guild owner needs it.

Who it is shared with

Nobody. The data is only used inside the Warden service for analytics of the guild the player belongs to. Sale, advertising and any transfer to third parties are excluded.
