Privacy
Last updated: November 5, 2026
The short version
- No account required. Anonymous page counts only.
- The apps read your game screen on your own device. Your screen is never uploaded.
- Nothing about your character leaves your device unless you turn a sharing option on, and each one says what it shares.
- Boss Hunters: we keep only what's needed to send your code and your DMs. Ko-fi handles payment; we never see card details.
- We don't sell or share data, and there's no marketing email. Ask, and we delete what we have about you.

Who we are
MapleQuest Tracker is an unofficial fan project for MapleStory Classic, made and run by one person in Denmark. It isn't a company and isn't connected to Nexon. For anything about your data, email codes@maplequesttracker.com.
The website
- Page counts: we use PostHog (hosted in the EU) in cookieless, memory-only mode, with session recording off. It counts pages and clicks on features (like "Become a Boss Hunter"). It stores no cookie and no ID in your browser, so visits aren't linked across sessions or other sites.
- Fonts: the pages load their font from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google, which sees your IP address as with any web request.
- Your browser's storage: the boss timers, kills you log, settings, and a Boss Hunter code you enter are saved in your own browser (local storage). They stay on your device unless you share something (below).
- Server logs: our live server keeps no access logs. The company hosting the website may keep standard web server logs for a short time, for security.
The web app and the desktop app
- They read your game window on your device to find your EXP, level, map, mesos and potions. Screenshots and the screen stream never leave your device.
- They don't read game memory, change the game or send key presses.
- The desktop app checks our update server for new versions, game data and Free Market prices. It sends no analytics.
- "Report a problem" saves a zip on your own PC. You decide whether to send it to anyone.
What you choose to share
Each of these is off until you turn it on.
| Option | What's sent | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|
| Live board | The name you choose to show, class, level, map, EXP per hour, the mob you pick, and a random ID for your install (stored hashed). | Training runs 30 days; level-ups 3 days; weekly crowns about 5 weeks; day streaks 60 days. Your best EXP/h per map is kept under the hashed install ID. |
| Share kills (boss timers) | Boss, channel and time of the kill. | 4 hours with a hashed network address (for spam limits). After that only boss, channel, time and how many players reported it, for 30 days, with nothing about who. |
| Free Market prices (desktop app) | Shops the app sees: item, price, amount, time, Free Market room and channel, and the shop's sign (owner and title). Never your own character. | Reports 30 days. Shop owner names and titles are erased after 24 hours. |
| Discord bot | The commands you use. For /bossalerts, the server and channel to post in. A /bosskill report is handled like a shared kill. | Channel alerts until you turn them off. |
| Cloud save | (Supporters) your progress backup from the web app or desktop app, under your code. | Until you delete it or ask us to. |
Network addresses: where we need one (spam limits), we store only a hash made with a secret that changes every day, so it can't be turned back into your address or followed from day to day.
Boss Hunter and supporter codes
- Payment: Ko-fi takes the payment, under Ko-fi's privacy policy. Card and PayPal details never reach us.
- What Ko-fi sends us: the email you used, the tier, the amount, a transaction ID, and your Discord ID if you linked Discord on Ko-fi.
- What we keep: your code and when it ends, that email, your Discord ID if linked (on Ko-fi or with
/hunter link), the bosses and channels you watch, and whether your code was delivered. Kill reports you send with your code are kept for 4 hours under a hash of the code. - Email: your code is sent through our email provider, only to deliver it (and resend it if you ask). No newsletters, no marketing.
- Discord: the bot uses your Discord ID only to DM you about your bosses. Which DMs went out is remembered for 2 days, so you don't get the same one twice.
- Free codes from a Discord giveaway: we keep your Discord ID and display name with the code, to send it and to give each person one.
- We keep this while your code is active, and afterwards until you ask us to delete it (so a returning Hunter gets the same code back).
Why we may use it (GDPR)
- Your choice (consent): the sharing options above. Turn them off at any time.
- To provide what you signed up for (contract): Boss Hunter and supporter codes.
- Legitimate interest: keeping the services working and safe from spam and abuse, and anonymous page counts.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we have about you, or object to how we use it. Email codes@maplequesttracker.com, and we'll answer within a month. With a code, include it so we can find your data; without one, tell us what you shared (like the name you used on the live board). You can also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).
Children
MapleQuest Tracker isn't meant for children under 13. Boss Hunter is a paid membership for adults, or with a parent's permission.
