Privacy policy
Forsaken IDs has no user accounts. The site records limited activity needed to count ID views and copies, prevent duplicate daily counts, collect community working-status votes, and understand how the directory performs.
Information stored in your browser
The site creates a random visitor key in local storage and remembers your vote for each ID. These values help keep counts and feedback consistent. You can remove them at any time by clearing site data in your browser.
Information processed by the site
When an ID detail page records a view, copy, or vote, the server temporarily combines the random browser key with the request IP address, browser user-agent string, and a private server salt. It converts that combination into a SHA-256 hash. The application stores the hash, event type, date, ID page, and vote where applicable; it does not store the raw IP address or user-agent string in the Forsaken IDs database.
Why this data is used
Anonymous hashes prevent the same visitor from inflating daily view or copy counts and limit each visitor to one current working-status vote per ID. Aggregated totals are displayed publicly on detail pages.
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity
The site uses Google Analytics to measure visits, traffic sources, devices, and page interactions. It also uses Microsoft Clarity to understand navigation problems through interaction data such as clicks, scrolling, heatmaps, and session recordings. These services may set cookies or similar browser identifiers and process technical request information under their own privacy terms. Forsaken IDs uses this information to improve search, page speed, and usability.
Hosting and service providers
The site is hosted by Cloudflare and uses Cloudflare Pages, Pages Functions, and D1. Cloudflare may process standard request and security information as part of delivering and protecting the site under its own terms and privacy practices.
Advertising and sale of data
Forsaken IDs does not currently display advertising and does not sell personal information. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity are used for site measurement and usability analysis.
Data retention and choices
Anonymous event and vote records are retained while they are needed to maintain database totals and community status. You may block local storage or clear it, although doing so can reset the browser-side visitor key and remembered vote state.
