Privacy notice
Last updated 2026-10-01. Wealdbound is run by one person as a hobby project. Privacy questions and requests go to privacy@wealdbound.com; abuse reports and other help go to support@wealdbound.com.
What we keep, and why
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| A scrambled (keyed hash) form of your Discord account number. It cannot be turned back into your number without a secret held only on the server. | To recognise you when you sign in again. | Until you ask for deletion. |
| Sign-in sessions: when they started and ended, with a hash of the session key. | To keep you signed in and to sign you out. | Up to 30 days after they end. |
| The game name you choose (3 to 16 letters, numbers or underscores). Other players see it in chat, parties and friends lists. | So players can recognise each other. | Until you ask for deletion, or until you change it (names can change once a week). |
| Your game progress: character, position, items, gold, skills, guild and party membership, friends and blocks, claims. | To run the game. | Until you ask for deletion. |
| Your internet address, briefly, in the web server and game server logs and in rate limiting. | To stop abuse and fix faults. | Up to 14 days. |
| Reports: when you or another player uses /report in the game, we keep who reported whom, the reason, the short note typed, and the name shown at the time. | So moderators can act on abuse. | Until one year after a moderator closes the report. Deleting your account does not remove reports that name you or that you filed, because they are evidence about other people. |
| Counts of how many players were online and how many warnings and errors the server logged, every five minutes. No names. | To see how the server is doing. | 90 days. |
| If you tick "Stay signed in on this computer": a sign-in key saved in a small file on your own computer. | So you do not have to approve Discord every time. | Until it expires (at most 12 hours) or you sign out, which deletes it. |
| Nightly backups of the database. | To recover from failure. | 14 days, on the server and on the operator's computer. |
| A record of administrative actions (for example a ban), naming only the random account id and the operator. | Accountability. | At least one year. |
| If you are banned: the scrambled account number and the reason. | So the ban holds. | While the ban is in force and for a reasonable time after. |
We do not keep your Discord username, avatar, email address, friends list, or any Discord password or token. Discord is asked for your account number only (its "identify" permission) and the access token is revoked straight away. We do not sell or share data, run advertising, or use analytics trackers. Chat messages are not stored.
Who processes it
Discord handles the sign-in page you approve (see Discord's own privacy policy). The game runs on a server rented from OVHcloud. Nobody else receives your data.
Your rights
Email privacy@wealdbound.com from any address and say which Discord account you play with. To protect you from impersonation we may ask you to sign in to the game so we can see your account id. You can ask for:
- A copy of your data (a file we send you).
- Deletion. We remove your sign-in link and personal game data. Some records that other players or the game's economy depend on (for example completed trades, world edit history and audit lines) stay under a random id that is no longer connected to you, so after deletion nothing links them to you. Backups are not edited; they expire within 14 days, and a deleted account is deleted again if a backup is ever restored. If you are banned, deletion does not lift the ban.
- Correction or objection, and you may complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).
We aim to answer within 30 days.
Children
Discord requires users to be at least 13 (or older in some countries). Do not use Wealdbound if you are below the age Discord requires where you live.
Changes
If this notice changes in a way that matters, the date above changes and the game will tell you.
