Privacy
Nothing here is ever sold, rented, traded, or handed to anyone else. There are no ads, no advertising network, no analytics company, and no tracking pixels. Nobody is paying for any of this, so there is nothing to monetise and no reason to.
The site is run by one person, for free. What follows is how a visit actually works.
Why signing in is offered
For one reason: so the usage numbers reflect real people rather than a pile of anonymous hits. Knowing that a handful of people use the compare page a lot is useful. Knowing that the compare page was opened four hundred times by nobody in particular is not.
That is the whole purpose. It is optional, every tool works without it, and you can sign out whenever you like.
What happens when you sign in
The site sends you to haunt.gg, and haunt.gg asks you whether you agree. It is their screen, on their domain, and this site never sees your haunt.gg password at any point.
If you agree, haunt.gg confirms to this site who you are. That confirmation is what keeps you signed in from one page to the next, and what lets your activity on the site be counted as yours rather than as an anonymous visit.
Only the person who runs the site can see any of it. It is not sent back to haunt.gg and not shared with anyone else. The temporary access keys that exist for helping someone with a problem cannot reach it either, whatever rights they carry.
What never leaves your browser
Some things are kept on your device and are never sent anywhere:
- Your recent searches, so the chips under the search box are useful.
- Whether you want markdown rendered in profile text.
- Whether you have dismissed the sign-in panel or the site notice.
Clearing your browser data for this site removes all of it, and nothing breaks.
Cookies
The site sets a cookie when you sign in, and one when the owner signs in to the dashboard. Both exist purely to keep that session going, both are restricted so that scripts cannot read them, and both are sent only over a secure connection.
This site sets no advertising cookies and no tracking cookies, and it sets nothing at all until you sign in.
Other places your browser talks to
A page here is not entirely self contained, and it is fair to know who else your browser reaches while a page loads:
- haunt.gg and assets.haunt.gg, for profile pictures, badges, wallpapers and audio.
- fonts.googleapis.com, for the typefaces the site uses.
- cdn.discordapp.com, when a profile bio contains a Discord emoji.
- wsrv.nl, an image proxy, so that profile pictures can be drawn onto a card you can actually save.
- cdn.jsdelivr.net, on the card page only, for the library that builds animated GIFs.
Each of those is a separate company with its own policy, and this site has no control over what they do at their end. None of them are told who you are.
Profiles that are shown here
Profile content comes from the official haunt.gg API and belongs to haunt.gg and to the people who wrote it. This site stores a copy of a profile briefly, so that searching the same name twice in a row does not hit their API twice. That copy expires on its own.
If you would rather your profile did not appear here at all, ask and it will be hidden, on every tool at once. See the terms for how that works.
Having it removed
Sign out and the session ends immediately. If you want everything connected to your account cleared from the site as well, ask and it will be erased. There is no form, no waiting period, and no attempt to talk you out of it.
Changes
This page can change. The date at the top is the version marker.
Getting in touch
Anything at all, including removal requests and questions about this page: the profile of the person who runs the site. Not the haunt.gg team, they have nothing to do with this.
