Warboard — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-02
Warboard is a third-party utility for the browser game Torn (torn.com). This page describes what data
the Warboard apps and web service handle and what they do with it.
What we handle
- Your Torn API key. You provide it on first launch. Stored locally on your device
(browser storage on web/desktop builds, the system keychain on iOS, encrypted preferences on
Android). It is not transmitted to us in plaintext beyond what is needed to make API calls on
your behalf.
- Public Torn game data. We fetch read-only data from
api.torn.com using your API key — member lists, war state, hospital timers, target
stats, attack feeds. This data may be cached briefly on the Warboard server
(tornwar.com) to reduce API load and to enable cross-device features such as push
notifications and real-time event streams.
- Push notification tokens. If you enable notifications, your device's push token
(APNS for iOS, FCM for Android) is stored on the Warboard server so we can deliver alerts you
have configured. The token contains no personal information; it is an opaque identifier issued
by Apple or Google to your installed app.
- No personally identifying data is collected beyond what the Torn public API
returns about your in-game character (name, ID, faction membership, in-game statistics). We do
not collect your real name, email, location, contacts, or device identifiers.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent, or share your data with any third party.
- We don't use analytics or advertising SDKs.
- We don't track your activity outside the Torn game ecosystem.
- We don't read your messages, contacts, photos, or any data outside the app.
Your controls
- Removing your API key from the app stops all data collection.
- Disabling notifications removes your push token from our servers within a short interval.
- Uninstalling the app stops all collection; cached state on our servers expires automatically
and can be deleted on request.
- To request deletion of any cached data tied to your Torn ID, email the contact below with
your in-game name and ID.
Children
Warboard is not directed at children under 13 and is not knowingly used by them. The underlying
game (Torn) restricts membership similarly.
Changes
If this policy materially changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated. The current
version is always at https://tornwar.com/privacy.
