Privacy Policy

The short version

This site tracks what you do in one streamer's community: the chat you take part in, the time you spend watching, the points that earns you, and - if you play on our CS2 servers - how those matches went. It does not track you anywhere else and it does not sell anything about you. It never asks for your password, and it never sees your card: VIP is paid on Stripe's own page.

What we collect, and why

When you sign in with Discord. Your Discord ID, display name and avatar. No email. The sign-in token is stored encrypted and used only to confirm the account is still yours.

When you link your Kick account. Your Kick ID, username, picture and chat badges (subscriber, VIP, moderator, OG), plus when you followed, when you first and last spoke, and how many messages you have sent. This is what your points are earned against.

Even if you never sign in here. If you speak in the channel's chat we note your Kick username, ID and subscriber-badge number for the Hall of Fame boards. All of it is already public beside your name in chat, and it earns you nothing. Ask and we remove it.

While the stream is live. Minutes watched, worked out from you speaking in chat recently enough to count as present. We do not see your viewing session.

Your points. Every movement: what you earned or spent, when, and what for. A permanent ledger, because a balance nobody can audit is a balance nobody should trust.

If you ask us to send you an item. Your Steam trade URL, used for that and nothing else.

When you link Steam. Your Steam id and the date you linked it, and what Steam shows publicly about the account: when it was made, your hours of CS2 and whether it has a VAC or game ban. That is read when you link it and again once a day, to keep brand-new and banned accounts out of the 5v5. Not your friends, the rest of your library or your inventory. It is how the game servers know a player is you.

When you play on our 5v5 servers. What the scoreboard says: map, side, score, kills, deaths, assists, damage and the finer per-round figures; when you joined and left; your rating and level after; the skins you equipped. A permanent record of the match.

When you play on our public CS2 servers. The server records your Steam id with your daily totals on each server: rounds, kills, deaths, assists, headshots, damage and the XP they paid. If that Steam id is linked here, they show on your public stats and the public board and are deleted with your account; if it is never linked, they are deleted after 180 days.

On the game servers themselves. Their own database holds your Steam id against your skins and any ban, and the IP address you connected from, so duplicate accounts can be told apart. Read by the servers and our moderators only, and never shown on the site. What the anticheat on them reports goes further - see who else sees any of this, below.

If a moderator acts on your account. The record of it: each ban and warning with the offence, how long, the reason you are shown and a private note for the other moderators; the moderators' notes about the account; and the reports the anticheat on the game servers sends about a player on your Steam id. It is how the next decision is made knowing the last one, and how a ban is checked when you appeal it. You are shown your bans and warnings, and a copy of your data includes all of it.

If you subscribe to VIP. Stripe gets your display name and account id and asks you for email and card details itself; we never see the card. We keep a reference to the Stripe customer, whether the subscription runs, and when it renews.

Keeping you signed in. Your browser's user-agent string, attached to your session.

Where your account is used from. A one-way fingerprint of your IP address, not the address, kept for 90 days after last use. It cannot be turned back into the address and is never shown. It only says whether two accounts were used from the same connection.

What everyone else can see

Some of this is published, and that is the point of it rather than a side effect: a leaderboard nobody can read is not a leaderboard. Anyone visiting the site can see these without signing in at all.

• Your Discord display name and profile picture.
• Your points, your rank, and what you earned today.
• Your totals on the Hall of Fame boards: minutes watched, messages sent, months subscribed, subscriptions gifted and kicks sent.
• Points landing as they happen, in the activity feed on the front page. It shows what was earned and what for. What you spend is never shown.
• If you play 5v5: your rating, level, match history and the figures from each match, on the ladder and on your player page. In a match itself, the other nine see your name and the skins you have equipped.
• If you play on our public servers with Steam linked: your rounds, kills, deaths, assists, K/D, ADR and HS% there, the XP they earned and the day you first played there, on the public board and your public stats page.

Your email is not published, because we do not have one. Neither is your Steam trade URL, which is only ever used to send you something you redeemed.

There is no way to take part without appearing on these. If you would rather not be listed, ask us and we will stop your account earning, which takes it off every board while leaving the balance you already have.

How we count visits

Page views are counted by date, page, country, which site you came from and whether you are on a phone. A number on a row, not a record of a person. There is no entry anywhere saying that you visited anything, and no profile of your browsing is built or kept.

Counting people rather than visits needs some way to tell two visits apart, so your address and browser are scrambled together with today's date into a short code that cannot be turned back into either. It changes every day, which means it cannot follow you from one day to the next, and it is what the "visitors" number counts.

We store the route, never the full web address, because a full address can carry a token in it and a counter has no business holding one.

What we do not collect

• No password. Sign-in goes through Discord, so we never see one.
• No email address, from us. We never ask Discord or Kick for one and there is nothing here that would send you mail. If you subscribe, Stripe asks you for one on its page and keeps it for its receipts.
• No IP addresses, as themselves. Yours is used as it arrives - to stop one person hammering the site, and scrambled into the daily visitor code above - and what stays behind is the fingerprint described under "where your account is used from", which cannot say where that was. We cannot tell you where an account was used from, because we do not know.
• No card numbers. Stripe takes the payment on its own page. All we hold is a reference to their record of you and whether the subscription is running.
• No tracking across other websites, no advertising profile, no data sold or rented to anybody.
• Nothing about your play at a partner casino beyond the wager standings those partners publish themselves.

Cookies

Two kinds, and a third only if you say yes. The sign-in cookies keep you signed in, and signing out clears them. One more remembers the language you picked, for a year. Google Analytics sets its own cookies, but only after you allow it in the box that asks; say no and it never loads. There are no advertising cookies and no other third-party trackers on this site.

Who else sees any of this

Discord and Kick. To sign you in, and to know what you did in chat. You are already their user; this connects the two.

Steam. To sign you in when you link your account, which tells us your Steam id. After that, Steam's Web API for the account's age, CS2 hours and bans, as above. Separately, the trade offer, when you have redeemed something that has to be delivered.

Stripe. Only if you subscribe. They take the payment and hold the card and the email, under their own privacy policy. We send them your display name and your account id here so they can tell us which subscription is yours.

Our own game servers. Machines we rent, running the CS2 servers and their database. They hold the Steam id, the skins and the bans described above.

The anticheat on the game servers. CS2AC, the anticheat our game servers run, posts each report to a staff channel on our Discord. When it detects something it also records a short replay and sends it to CS2AC's maker, with the names and Steam ids of the players recorded in it.

The companies that host the site. They store the data on our behalf, under contract, and do nothing else with it.

Nobody else. We do not sell your data, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not hand it over on request without a legal obligation to.

Casino partners

Some offers on this site link to gambling companies, and we may be paid when somebody signs up through one. The moment you follow one of those links you are on their website, under their privacy policy, and what happens there is between you and them. We receive no account or play data about you from them.

How long we keep it

For as long as your account exists. That includes your 5v5 matches, which are kept as a record of what was played the same way the points ledger is kept as a record of a balance, and the moderators' notes and warnings on it. Anticheat reports are kept for 180 days, and for good once one is confirmed or a ban rests on it.

Ask us to delete it and we will remove your account, your profile, your trade URL, the links to your Discord, Kick and Steam identities, your points history, your 5v5 profile and every match you played, your public-server totals, the moderators' notes and warnings, the anticheat reports no ban rests on, and the skins you had saved on the game servers. Any subscription is cancelled and the customer record at Stripe is deleted with it - the invoices stay in Stripe's books, because their accounts are theirs. The staff's own log of what they did, which can name your account, keeps each entry for 180 days and then deletes it. Apart from that and what is kept on purpose, below, nothing stays here afterwards, so this cannot be undone, and any balance goes with it.

Two things are kept on purpose. If you were banned from the game servers, the ban record stays, here as well as on the servers: against your Steam id, with the offence, how long, the reason, the moderators' note on it and the anticheat reports it was based on. A ban that could be cleared by deleting an account would not be a ban, it still counts toward the next one, and it is the reason the server rules say so too. The same goes for a Steam account a moderator declined after the Steam check.

The other is a ban on the connections an account was used from, made when an account turns out to be a second one. The fingerprints in that ban stay after the account goes, for the same reason, and so do the addresses the game servers hold against a banned Steam id. Everything else about where you were used from is gone 90 days after the last time.

What you can ask for

A copy of everything we hold about you, a correction to anything wrong, or deletion of the lot. You can also withdraw your agreement to this policy at any time, which means closing your account.

Email [email protected], or ask in the Discord. There is no charge and you do not have to give a reason. We answer within 30 days, which is what the law allows, though it is usually the same week.

Age

This site is for people aged 18 or over. It carries gambling partner links and runs prize draws, so that is a condition of using it rather than a formality. You confirm it when you sign in. If we find an account belongs to somebody under 18 we close it and delete what we hold.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Anything that materially affects what we collect or who sees it will be announced in the Discord rather than quietly edited in.
