Privacy notice
Last updated: August 17, 2026.
Astro PoVs records your screen and can upload videos to the cloud, so you deserve to know exactly what data we touch, where it lives and who can see it. This page is written to be read, not to cover ourselves: if anything here doesn't match what the app actually does, that's a bug and we want to hear about it.
If you only record, nothing leaves your PC
The app works without an account. It reads World of Warcraft's combat log to tell when a pull starts and ends, and writes the video to your disk. All of that happens on your machine and stays on your machine: with no account and uploads off, nothing reaches us — no videos, no stats, no "telemetry".
With an account: what we keep
Uploading PoVs and joining a guild take an account. We keep your email, your username, and your password as a hash — never in plain text; we couldn't read it if we wanted to. If you sign in with Discord or Google, your account email is the one that provider confirms to us, and we also keep its stable identifier — the one that stays the same even if you change emails. Nothing else comes from your profile there: no friends list, no servers, nothing.
Your videos
A video only uploads if you turn uploading on, and it goes to your guild's space: the people in it can watch, nobody else. There is no public feed, no front page of other people's wipes, no algorithm recommending anything. Share links carry a code that is the permission, and playback addresses expire on their own. Deleting is real: the file leaves storage — it doesn't just go into hiding.
Your teammates' names
The combat log carries the character names of your group, and those names travel with each pull to the cloud: they are what makes "the healer's PoV of that same attempt" findable. They are character names, not real names, and only your guild sees them. Their chat shows up in the video too, unless you cover it — that's what the app's built-in overlay is for. If your team isn't comfortable appearing, the answer is not to upload: that conversation is worth having before raid night, not after.
Cookies
The site sets two cookies: your session — a random token that keeps you signed in — and the language you picked. No trackers, no third-party analytics, no pixels of any kind. If we ever start measuring something, this page will say so first.
We only send the mail your account needs: verifying your address, resetting your password, and the warnings when your storage is about to expire — three of them, then a seven-day grace period before anything gets deleted. Zero marketing: there is no newsletter and no promotions, and if one ever exists, it will be because you signed up for it.
Where the data lives
We don't run servers in a closet; we use services that each see only their slice: Vercel serves the site, Neon holds the database (accounts, guilds, each pull's metadata), Cloudflare R2 holds the videos, and Resend delivers the email. None of them gets more than its part requires.
For how long
As long as your account lives, its data lives. If your storage expires — a trial runs out, a plan lapses — we warn you three times by email, wait seven days, and then the videos are deleted from storage for real. The ones you delete yourself are gone on the spot.
Deleting your account
You can delete your own videos from the app or the site any time. Deleting the whole account — email included — has no button yet: message us on our Discord and we will wipe it by hand, completely. The button is on the to-do list; until it ships, this is the honest state of things.
Changes and contact
When this notice changes, the date at the top changes with it, and anything that matters gets announced on Discord and in the changelog. Questions, or something that doesn't add up? Discord is the door.
