Torn IntelPrivacy Policy
Last updated: April 23, 2026
Who We Are
Torn Intel (torn-intel.com) is a faction intelligence platform for the browser game Torn City. It is developed and operated by a solo developer (JESUUS [2353554]). This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights over that data.
Cookies & Local Storage
We use the following cookies and browser storage:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| torn-intel-session | Cookie (httpOnly) | Authentication session — strictly necessary | 7 days |
| torn-intel-theme | localStorage | Dark/light mode preference — functional | Persistent |
| ti_cache_* | localStorage | Client-side API response cache — functional | 15 minutes |
| torn-intel-cookie-consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie consent choice — strictly necessary | Persistent |
| _ga, _ga_* | Cookie (Google) | Google Analytics 4 — analytics (only if accepted) | 13 months |
Strictly necessary cookies (session, consent) are always active — they are required for the site to function.
Analyticscookies are only set if you explicitly accept them via the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser’s localStorage for torn-intel.com.
Analytics — Google Analytics 4
If you accept analytics cookies, we load Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID: G-SDX9PHFBDF). It collects:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- General geographic region (country/city level)
- Browser type, device type, operating system
- Traffic source (how you found the site)
This data is processed by Google and subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. We use it solely to understand how the platform is used and improve it. We do not use GA4 for advertising or remarketing.
If you decline analytics cookies, no Google scripts are loaded at all — not even the tracking library.
Data We Collect & Why
Beyond cookies and analytics, we collect Torn City game data through the Torn API on your behalf:
- Your player ID, name, and faction membership — to authenticate and identify your workspace
- Faction member activity (online/idle/offline status) — to power activity heatmaps and monitoring
- Personal stats (xanax, overdoses, play time, battle stats) — to display individual analytics
- Ranked war data — to track war performance and history
- Armory usage logs — to audit item usage within your faction
- Company data — if you use the Company Dashboard feature
- Energy, drug cooldown, and medical cooldown — shared within your faction only
All data originates from the official Torn API. We never collect data through any other means. All API calls are read-only — we cannot perform any action on your Torn account.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
| Processing activity | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Authentication session cookie | Legitimate interest — necessary to operate the service |
| Game data collection via Torn API | Contract — you provide your API key to use the service |
| Encrypted API key storage | Contract — required to make API calls on your behalf |
| Google Analytics 4 | Consent — only loaded after you accept the cookie banner |
| localStorage (theme, cache) | Legitimate interest — improves user experience, no personal data |
Data Sharing
- We do not sell your data to any third party.
- Game data is only shared with members of your own faction, unless you explicitly enable a sharing feature (company sharing, alliance spy sharing).
- If you accept analytics, data is shared with Google under their privacy policy.
- We may use TornStats or FF Scouter APIs if you provide those keys — data is fetched on your behalf and stored in our database under the same access controls as all other faction data.
- No data is shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any unrelated third parties.
Data Retention
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Authentication session | 7 days (httpOnly cookie, auto-expires) |
| Encrypted API key (Torn) | Until removed by user or account deletion |
| Encrypted API key (TornStats) | Until removed by user |
| Player ID, name, faction | While account is active |
| Activity snapshots, xanax logs, play time | Permanent (historical charts require full history) |
| War scores and results | Permanent |
| Battle stats estimates | Latest snapshot kept, updated periodically |
| Google Analytics data | 14 months (Google default, if accepted) |
| localStorage (theme, cache, consent) | Until cleared by user in browser |
Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Union or EEA, you have the following rights:
- Right of access — you can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
- Right to erasure — you can request deletion of your account and all associated data.
- Right to withdraw consent — you can revoke analytics consent at any time by clearing
torn-intel-cookie-consentfrom your browser’s localStorage, then declining on next visit. - Right to object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Right to data portability — where technically feasible, we can provide your data in a structured format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the methods listed below. We will respond within 30 days.
Security
All sensitive data (API keys, 2FA secrets) is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Sessions use signed httpOnly cookies with Secure and SameSite flags. The platform runs automated security checks on every code change. For full details, see our Security page.
Age Requirements
Torn Intel is designed for players of Torn City, which requires users to be at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us and we will delete their data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the platform evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be announced via the in-app announcement banner.
