Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

⚠️ Template — replace bracketed placeholders and have a privacy lawyer review, especially for GDPR (EU/UK) and US state privacy laws. If you process EU users' data you likely need a lawful basis analysis, a DPA with processors, and possibly a representative.

2. What we collect and why

DataPurposeRetention
IP address Connecting you, country display, rate limiting, ban enforcement, abuse prevention For the session; banned IPs kept until the ban is lifted
Approximate country (derived from IP) Shown to your battle opponent; matchmaking statistics For the session
Camera frames (≈1 per second during a live battle) AI judging of shown items; automated content moderation In memory only; deleted within minutes of the battle ending — except frames from reported or moderation-flagged battles, which are preserved as evidence (up to [1 year] where required, e.g. for NCMEC reports under 18 U.S.C. §2258A)
Battle metadata (battle ID, timestamps, verdicts, report reasons) Operating the Service, moderation, statistics [90 days]
Terms-acceptance timestamp (stored in your browser) Remembering that you accepted the age gate and Terms Until you clear your browser storage

3. Live video is peer-to-peer

Your live video/audio stream travels directly to your opponent's device (or through a relay server we operate, which forwards encrypted packets without storing them). We do not record the live stream. Only the sampled frames described above reach our servers. Because connections are peer-to-peer, your IP address may be technically observable by your opponent's device.

4. Processors and transfers

  • OpenAI (USA) — receives battle frames for item identification/valuation and content moderation. Per OpenAI's API terms, API data is not used to train their models.
  • [HOSTING PROVIDER, e.g. Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany)] — servers and relay infrastructure.
  • [Cloudflare] — network proxy, security, and IP-to-country lookup, if enabled.
  • IP-to-country lookup may use the self-hosted GeoLite2 database (MaxMind). This page includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from maxmind.com.

International transfers are safeguarded by [SCCs / DPF — complete with counsel].

5. Legal bases (EU/UK users)

  • Contract performance: matchmaking, connecting calls, judging battles you start.
  • Legitimate interests: abuse prevention, moderation, security, ban enforcement.
  • Legal obligation: evidence preservation and mandatory reporting (e.g. CSAM to NCMEC).
  • Consent: camera/microphone access and frame capture (you may withdraw by ending the battle or leaving).

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to or restrict processing. Contact [CONTACT EMAIL]. You may also complain to your supervisory authority. Note that most battle data is deleted automatically within minutes; preserved abuse evidence may be exempt from deletion requests where retention is legally required.

7. Children

The Service is strictly 18+. We do not knowingly process children's data. If we become aware of a minor using the Service we terminate the session, ban the user, and preserve and report evidence where legally required.

8. Security

All traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/WSS; WebRTC media is encrypted with DTLS-SRTP). Frames are held in server memory, not written to disk, except for preserved abuse evidence, which is access-restricted.

9. Changes

Material changes will be announced on the Service.
