Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 10, 2025 Last Updated: April 10, 2025

1. Introduction​

This Privacy Policy describes how Nickname.gg (the “Service”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you access the platform or use our API.

The Service is provided by an individual entrepreneur registered in Georgia.

2. Data We Collect​

We may collect and store the following information:

  • Account Information: Email address and optionally your name, used for account management.
  • Authentication Credentials: You sign up and log in using your email and a password. Passwords are securely hashed. Session cookies are used to maintain logged-in state.
  • Authentication Tokens: API tokens and webhook tokens that you generate.
  • Player Data: When you add a player via API, we store their Steam ID, Steam API key (auth code), and match reference codes.
  • Match History: Match data of tracked players is stored and may be used for statistical or analytical purposes.
  • Technical Metadata: IP address, browser user-agent, and usage information for monitoring, security, and performance optimization.

All player-related data is only accessible to the user who added it.

3. Purpose of Data Use​

We use the data to:

  • Provide and operate the API and webhooks;
  • Enable account authentication and secure access;
  • Monitor service usage and enforce rate limits;
  • Improve platform performance and detect abuse;
  • Generate insights and develop features related to match statistics.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Webhooks​

Our webhooks may include data such as:

  • Player Steam ID, nickname, and processed match data;
  • Status updates about data parsing and processing.

You are responsible for securely handling any data received via webhook on your end.

5. Cookies and Analytics​

We use cookies to manage user sessions and authenticate users via email and password.

The frontend also uses Yandex Metrica to collect usage analytics and understand how users interact with the platform. This may involve cookies or similar tracking technologies and may be subject to Yandex’s own data handling practices.

We do not use third-party advertising networks, but we cannot fully control how analytics providers process collected data. You may restrict or block cookies through your browser settings.

6. Data Retention​

  • Account and player data are stored until you choose to delete them.
  • You may delete added players and their match data at any time.
  • You may delete your entire account and all associated data via your profile.

7. Your Rights​

You have the right to:

  • Access and review your data;
  • Revoke API and webhook tokens;
  • Request the deletion of your account and all associated data.

Most actions can be done directly through your user dashboard.

8. Data Security​

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

  • Secure API authentication;
  • Encrypted communication (HTTPS);
  • Access control and user-level data isolation.

However, no system is completely secure. You use the Service at your own risk.

9. Hosting and Data Location​

Our infrastructure is hosted using third-party providers located in multiple jurisdictions, including:

  • Cloud servers and database storage;
  • Analytics services.

By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and storage of your data in these locations.

10. Policy Changes​

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated version.
