Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026. This page explains what ThroneFinder LLC (“ThroneFinder,” “we”) collects when you use thronefinder.net and how we use it. This policy is in English.
What you can do without an account
You can browse the map, view pins and read creature pages without signing up. If you add a pin as a guest, we store the pin and a claim token in your browser so you can link it to an account later.
Accounts
If you create an account we store your email address, an optional display name, and a securely hashed password (we never store your password in plain text). We use your email to sign you in, reset your password, and contact you about prizes or contests you enter. Signing in sets a session cookie (tf_session) so you stay logged in.
Map pins, ratings and reports
When you add or edit a pin, rate a throne, confirm it is still there, or report that it is gone, we store that information with the pin. Pins, ratings and photos are public. Public leaderboards and the public API do not show contributor IDs, and staff accounts are left out of rankings.
Location
Your browser asks for permission before sharing your location. We use it to center the map, find nearby thrones, place a pin where you drop it, and check that you are near a pin when you rate or confirm it or catch a creature. We do not track your location in the background.
Photos
Photos you upload are stored with the pin and shown publicly. An automated image tool may score a photo’s cleanliness to help keep conditions accurate. Please don’t upload photos of people.
Visit counts and analytics
Our own visit counter does not use cookies. It records the page, referrer, campaign tags, and whether this browser has visited before. To count unique visitors it uses a one-way hash of your IP address and browser type, and the hash changes daily. Some pages also use the Meta Pixel, which lets Meta measure visits to our pages and the ads that lead to them. Meta handles that data under its own privacy policy.
Cookies and local storage
We use a sign-in cookie when you log in, plus a few cookies during sponsor sign-up. Your browser’s local storage keeps small settings such as your language (English or Español), app install prompts, guest pin claims, and the date of your first visit. You can clear these at any time in your browser settings.
Payments
Sponsors and advertisers pay through Stripe. We do not see or store full card numbers. We keep the business contact details you give us so we can run your listing.
Emails
If you join our newsletter or send us a message, we use your email to reply and send the updates you asked for. Email us any time to stop receiving them.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, storage, email, payments and analytics), or when the law requires it.
Your choices
You can edit your account settings, turn off location in your browser, and ask us to delete your account or your contributions by emailing us.
Children
ThroneFinder is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top.
