WoWHub is a phone-first Android app that helps World of Warcraft players see their character snapshot, weekly affixes, and Wowhead news at a glance. This page explains what data WoWHub handles and what it does NOT handle.

What WoWHub does

WoWHub fetches public World of Warcraft character data from Raider.io’s public REST API on your device, displays it on the home screen, and opens external WoW reference sites (Wowhead, Warcraft Logs, Raidbots, WoWAnalyzer) in an in-app browser when you tap a source link.

To do this, WoWHub asks you to type your region, realm, and character name the first time you open it. That tuple is stored on your device and used as the address of every Raider.io API request the app makes. WoW character names are public game data — anyone can look up a character on the in-game Armory or third-party sites without consent — so this is not user-identifying personal information.

What WoWHub does NOT do

  • No backend. WoWHub talks directly to public third-party APIs from your device. We do not run any server, database, or backend service.
  • No analytics. WoWHub ships no Crashlytics, Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, or any other usage-tracking SDK. We’ve also opted out of Google Play’s automatic crash reporting.
  • No advertising. WoWHub ships no ad networks, no ad SDKs, no sponsored content, and no advertising identifiers.
  • No in-app purchases. WoWHub is free with no premium tiers and no Google Play Billing integration.
  • No telemetry. WoWHub does not send any telemetry, ping, heartbeat, or usage signal to any service.
  • No tracking across apps or sites. WoWHub does not read or write advertising IDs, device IDs, or any cross-app identifier.

What’s stored on your device

  • The region, realm, and character name you typed (Android DataStore, ~50 bytes).
  • A cached character snapshot — item level, Mythic+ rating, raid progression — pulled from Raider.io (Android Room database, a few KB per character).

Both are removed when you uninstall the app. From v1.0.0 onward (planned for the final phase before public release), Settings will offer a “Clear local data” button that wipes both without requiring uninstall.

Tokens-on-device only (forward-looking)

Future versions of WoWHub will add optional Battle.net and Warcraft Logs sign-in. When that lands, those access tokens will be stored only on your device, never transmitted to any server we control (we do not run any server). Sign-in is opt-in; the core “snapshot, news, affixes” functionality continues to work without any sign-in.

Data sources

WoWHub v1 uses one public data source: Raider.io for character profile data and weekly Mythic+ affixes. Future versions will add Wowhead’s public RSS feed (news), Warcraft Logs’ public GraphQL API (parses, gated behind optional WCL sign-in), and Battle.net’s public profile API (Great Vault state, gated behind optional Battle.net sign-in).
