Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026 · Draft — under review.

TarkovWiki (“we”, “us”) is an unofficial fan companion for Escape from Tarkov. This policy explains what we collect and why. We aim to collect as little as possible.

What we collect

  • Account data — your email address and, for Discord sign-in, your Discord account identifier. Passwords are hashed and managed by our auth provider; we never see them.
  • Your progress — the quests/items you mark, your save profiles, and preferences. Without an account this stays in your browser; with an account it’s stored so it syncs across devices.
  • Basic analytics — privacy-friendly, cookieless usage statistics (e.g. page views) with no personal profiling.

The TarkovWiki desktop app

  • On your PC only — the app reads Escape from Tarkov’s log files to detect raids, quests and flea sales. Your settings, progress and local statistics are stored encrypted for your Windows user and are never uploaded, except as described below. The app never reads or changes the game itself.
  • Linking your account (optional) — we store a hashed device key, the device name you see on your account page and when it was last used, so the app can sync your quest progress. You can unlink a device from the app or your account page at any time.
  • Goons sightings (optional) — when you report a sighting we store the map, the time and your account id (to limit spam) for 7 days. Other players only see the map and time.
  • Anonymous game stats (optional, off by default) — only if you switch on “Share anonymous game stats”, the app sends, for games after that moment: flea sales (item, price, amount), queue and raid times per map, and quests you finish. These reports are stored without your name, account, device or exact time (the day only), kept for 90 days and shown only as averages of many players. To stop abuse, a hash of the device key counts uploads per day and is deleted after 2 days; it is never linked to the reports. Turn it off at any time in the app’s settings.

Service providers (processors)

  • Supabase — authentication and database (your account & progress).
  • Cloudflare — hosting, security, and privacy-friendly analytics.
  • Resend — sending transactional emails (sign-up confirmation, password reset).
  • Discord — only if you choose to sign in with Discord.

Game data and images are sourced from the community tarkov.dev API; browsing it sends no personal data.

Your rights

You can access, export, or delete your data at any time. Account deletion removes your profile and saved progress. To exercise any right, email caleb.haggar@icloud.com. If you’re in the EU/UK, you have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR.

Data retention & security

We keep account data while your account is active; deleting your account also removes your linked devices and Goons reports. Access is protected by row-level security so you can only read or change your own data. Anonymous game stats can’t be traced back to you, so they can’t be exported or deleted per person; they expire after 90 days. To recover from failures we keep encrypted database backups for up to 30 days, so data from a deleted account is fully gone once those expire. We never sell your data.

Changes & contact

We’ll update this page as the service evolves. Questions: caleb.haggar@icloud.com.
