AH Prices shows auction house prices for World of Warcraft®: Forever. It has no accounts and no sign-in, and it never asks for your Blizzard password. This page says what happens to information about you when you use it.
Who runs this site
AH Prices is responsible for this site and for this information. Contact: privacy@ahprices.com.
What the site keeps about you
The site's server and database keep no record of visitors, apart from the request logs described below. The server sets no cookies. The database holds prices and item details, and no player names: Blizzard's auction data has no such field, and our collector drops any new field it doesn't recognise.
What's saved in your browser
The site's scripts save these in your browser, to remember your settings. None is used for tracking or advertising.
house(cookie, one year): the auction house you picked.watch(cookie, one year): the item numbers on your watchlist, up to 50.times(local storage): whether times show on your clock or in UTC.chart-range(local storage): the time range you last chose on a price chart.chart-near(local storage): whether a chart shows the near-lowest price.recent-items(local storage): the last 6 items you opened, for the search box.
Your browser sends cookies with every request to this site, as browsers do, so they pass through Cloudflare. The server doesn't use them to build pages. Local storage stays in your browser. To show your watchlist, the home page sends its item numbers in the address of a request. To remove all of this, clear this site's data in your browser. The site still works without it.
Cloudflare and Google
Two companies handle your requests for us, and each has its own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare carries every request and keeps copies of pages, to deliver the site quickly and protect it from attacks. It sees your IP address, your browser's details and the address you ask for. Logs from the small program we run there are kept for 3 days. It runs a worldwide network, so a request may be handled outside the UK and EEA. Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- Google Cloud Run runs the site in London. Requests that Cloudflare can't answer from its copies are recorded in Google Cloud's logs: the address asked for, including search words (also while you type) and watchlist item numbers, with the time, the result, your browser's details and possibly an IP address. These logs are deleted after 30 days. Google Cloud's privacy notice.
Cloudflare and Google are US companies. The site, its price data and its raw auction data are in London, but Cloudflare's network is worldwide, and Google's logs aren't tied to one country, so those two may handle your details outside the UK.
We use these logs only to keep the site running and to find faults and abuse. Both companies also show us overall figures, such as request counts. Prices are stored by Supabase in London. Search words and watchlist numbers are looked up there through a login that can only read, so the site can't save them. Please don't type personal details into the search box.
Visitor statistics
The site has no ads. It counts visits, to show how it's used and what to improve. This uses no cookies and saves nothing in your browser, and it works in two ways:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics is a script from Cloudflare, the only one not from this site. It reports page views, how fast pages load and the site that linked here. Cloudflare says it doesn't collect visitors' personal data. About Cloudflare Web Analytics.
- Our own count runs on Cloudflare. For each page requested, it records the page and auction house, your country and region, the site that linked here, your device type, browser name and language, and the time taken. It doesn't record your IP address, your full browser details or your search words. To estimate daily visitors, it also stores a code made from your IP address, browser details, the date and a secret key. Only the code is stored, and it changes every day, so it isn't used to follow anyone from one day to the next. These records are deleted after 3 months.
All the site's other scripts and its styles come from the site itself. If any of this changes, this page will be updated first.
Your rights
We keep the logs and visitor statistics because we have a legitimate interest in running the site securely and improving it. If UK or EU data protection law applies to you, you can ask for access to information about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it, using the contact above. You can also complain to your data protection authority, which in the UK is the Information Commissioner's Office. The site isn't aimed at children under 13.
Where the prices come from
Blizzard Entertainment is the source of the price and item data, through its Developer APIs. That data is provided to you on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, consistent with the disclaimers in Section 7 of those terms. It can be late, missing or wrong. AH Prices isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard. Blizzard's own privacy policy covers what Blizzard does, and this page covers this site.
Changes
When what the site does changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves.
