This page describes what data Tarkov Raiders HQ uses, why we use it, where it is stored, and how long we keep it. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains your rights and how to contact us.
Most features work without an account. When you sign in, selected data syncs to our cloud database (our database) so you can access it on other devices. We do not sell your personal information and do not use your data for advertising profiles.
Summary by feature
| Feature | Data used | Stored where | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Browsing without account | Quest/story progress, UI preferences, game mode (PvP/PvE), map pins, item checklists, TR Slots wallet (local), TarkovMonitor remote ID & last position | Your browser (localStorage / sessionStorage) |
Run the site on your device only |
Logs (/logs) |
Optional. If you select your Escape from Tarkov client Logs folder, the page reads session log files
in your browser only and derives raid history (map, inferred PMC/Scav side, PvP/PvE, queue time)
and flea sale/rating notification counts. Raw log text is not uploaded to our servers.
We may store a folder permission handle, a local summary/cache of derived stats, and UI preferences
(chart range, map side filter).

Legal bases (GDPR / UK GDPR)
| Processing | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Account, cloud sync, chats, groups, feedback you submit | Contract — necessary to provide features you choose to use |
| Essential browser storage (progress, settings, optional Logs cache) | Legitimate interests — operating the site you requested; balanced against your rights. Logs data stays on your device after you choose to open a folder. |
| Server logs, abuse prevention, API caching | Legitimate interests — security and reliability |
| Google Analytics (production only) | Consent — loaded only after you choose “Accept analytics” |
| Community submissions (teamkill reports) | Legitimate interests and your consent when you submit |
Retention
- Account & synced data — kept while your account exists. Clear per-mode progress from Profile → Account, or permanently delete your account from Profile → Account → Delete account.
- Chats — kept until deleted by participants or on account deletion, subject to short provider backups.
- Feedback & teamkill reports — kept to operate and moderate those features; deletion on request where feasible.
- Browser-only data — on your device until you clear site data. Logs folder access and derived raid summaries can also be removed via Logs → Clear.
- PMC profile cache — short-lived on our server for performance.
- Analytics & server logs — limited periods per Google and Railway defaults.
Third-party processors
We use service providers who process data on our behalf:
- Database — authentication, cloud storage, realtime
- Discord — optional OAuth sign-in
- Railway — hosting, API proxies, logs
- Google Analytics — optional aggregate analytics (with consent)
- Google Fonts — font delivery to your browser
- tarkov.dev — public game data and PMC lookups
- Fandom (EFT Wiki) — reference images loaded by your browser
Some providers may process data outside your country. Where required, they use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses). See each provider’s privacy policy for details.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. We honour these rights under:
