Registered users: When you create an account we store your chosen display name, email address, and hashed password. If you register or link via Steam we store your Steam ID and publicly available Steam profile data (display name, avatar URL).

Player board entries: Steam usernames, Steam IDs, and publicly accessible Steam profile images sourced from the Steam public API. No private Steam data is collected.

User-generated content: Forum posts, comments, gallery submissions, and player submissions you create while logged in.

Visit tracking: We record a daily count of unique visitors using a one-way hashed (SHA-256) version of your IP address. The raw IP address is never stored. This hash cannot be reversed to identify you.

We do not collect: Real names, physical addresses, payment information, phone numbers, or any sensitive personal data as defined under GDPR Art. 9.

Registered user data is processed on the basis of contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — it is necessary to provide the account and service you signed up for.

Player board entries (Steam public data) are processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — the protection of the gaming community from reported cheaters and the recognition of good sportsmanship. Only publicly available data is used. See the full balancing test on our About page.

Visit tracking is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — understanding site usage. No identifiable IP addresses are stored at any point.
