This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and handle your information when you use the Scoreboards bot ("the Bot") and our website at scoreboards.dev ("the Website"). By using the Bot or the Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you use our Bot or Website, we may collect the following information:

• Discord usernames, display names, avatars, user IDs, and server (guild) IDs
• Leaderboard data including scores, rankings, game statistics, and player names that you provide through the Bot
• Images and media you upload for Rating leaderboards, along with associated metadata (submission name, upload time, your Discord user ID)
• Rating and voting data, including which submissions you rate and the star ratings you assign
• Discord OAuth2 authentication data (access tokens) when you log in to the Website via Discord
• If you link a Riot account for a League of Legends leaderboard: your Riot ID and Riot account identifier (PUUID), and the match statistics of the tournament-code games played for that leaderboard — champion, kills/deaths/assists, damage, gold, creep score, vision score, and similar per-game figures
• If the server you play in uses the currency system: your currency balance in that server; an earnings ledger holding one entry per finalized result, each recording the amount, the reason it was paid, a pointer to the specific match or score submission it came from, the full arithmetic that produced the amount, and the Discord user ID of whoever caused the entry (a reviewer, a validator or an administrator); and your purchase history — what you bought, when, and what it cost
• Server membership and role information necessary to display your leaderboards

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and operate the Bot and Website services
• Maintain, display, and manage leaderboards
• Authenticate you when logging in via Discord
• Operate the currency system in servers that use it — paying out finalized results, applying the daily limit and anti-farming rules, reversing a payout when a result is cancelled or edited, and completing purchases
• Improve our services based on usage patterns

3. Cookies, Local Storage & Analytics

Necessary storage. To keep you logged in, the Website stores authentication tokens and session data in your browser's local storage and session storage. This is strictly necessary for the service to work, is first-party, is not used for tracking, and is cleared when you log out. Because it is essential, it does not require consent.

Analytics cookies. With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the Website is used so we can improve it. This sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_JL3FNSVZQ1, which can persist for up to about two years. We enable IP anonymization and use Google Consent Mode, so no analytics cookies are set until you opt in. The legal basis for this processing is your consent.

We do not use advertising or marketing cookies, and we do not sell your data.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time — analytics stay off until you opt in, and turning them off deletes the analytics cookies. Open cookie settings.

4. Public Leaderboard Display

Leaderboards created via the Bot may be displayed on the Website through a unique URL and are publicly accessible by default. Public leaderboards can include Discord usernames, scores, and related game or leaderboard data that you and your server members provide. Anyone with the URL can view the leaderboard and its contents.

Search engines and link previews. Established public leaderboards — those belonging to a registered account and containing at least five entries — can be indexed by search engines such as Google, which means their contents, including the Discord usernames shown on them, may appear in public search results. Sharing a leaderboard link on Discord or social media also generates a preview card showing the leaderboard's name, its number of competitors, and the name at the top. Private and disabled leaderboards are excluded from both, as are leaderboards created without an account.

Images submitted to Rating leaderboards are publicly viewable alongside your Discord username and any description you add. Leaderboard admins can enable blind voting, which withholds submitter names from public view until they reveal the results. Individual star ratings you give are used to calculate public averages and are not publicly attributed to you; however, the admins of a leaderboard can view a vote log showing which submissions you rated and the scores you gave, for example to check the fairness of an event. The voting interface notes this where you vote.

League of Legends leaderboards additionally show the match statistics described in section 1 (champion, kills/deaths/assists and similar per-game figures) for the games recorded on that leaderboard, alongside the player names on the board. These follow the same visibility rules as the leaderboard itself: a private, hidden or disabled leaderboard does not expose its match statistics.

Currency balances. In a server that uses the currency system, your balance is shown to you on that server's shop page, which reads your own wallet and no one else's. No command or page lists other members' balances. Balances are per server and are never shown outside the server that issued them. If you buy and equip a shop emoji or a name colour, it is displayed publicly alongside your name on that server's leaderboards. Your own earnings ledger is shown only to you, and an administrator granting or removing currency is posted to the server's log channel when one is configured, so that such actions are visible rather than silent.

Embedding on other websites. A public leaderboard can also be placed on any other website as an embedded view, which shows the same standings and usernames the leaderboard's own page shows. Only public leaderboards render this way — private, hidden and disabled leaderboards display a notice and no data. An embedded leaderboard loads no analytics and sets no cookies on the site hosting it, and we receive nothing about the people who view it beyond the ordinary server request needed to serve the page.

We do record how often each leaderboard is loaded as an embed, and the domain name of the website it was loaded on (for example "example.com"). This tells us which sites use the feature. We do not record the individual page, and we do not record anything about the people who view it — no IP address, no cookie, no account, no device or browser details. This information is visible only to us, not to the leaderboard's owner or to a server's administrators.

If you do not want a leaderboard to be publicly visible, you can mark it as private using the Bot's settings in Discord. Private leaderboards will not be displayed or accessible on the Website, and cannot be embedded elsewhere.

5. Image Storage and Processing

Images you upload for Rating leaderboards are automatically resized (max 1920px) and converted to WebP format to optimize storage and loading times. Processed images are stored on Cloudflare R2, a cloud object storage service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. During upload via Discord, images may be temporarily accessed via Discord's CDN before being transferred to our storage.

Images are retained as long as the associated leaderboard exists. When a leaderboard is deleted, associated images are removed. You may request deletion of specific images you uploaded by contacting us.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Our Website is hosted on Netlify, which may process requests as part of providing hosting services. We use Discord's API for authentication purposes. User-uploaded images are stored on Cloudflare R2; Cloudflare may process image data as part of providing storage and CDN services.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Authentication tokens are stored securely and expire automatically.

8. Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to provide our services. Leaderboard data is retained as long as the leaderboard exists. Uploaded images are retained as long as the associated leaderboard exists. You can request deletion of your data, including specific images you uploaded, at any time.

Currency data — your balance, your earnings ledger and your purchase history — belongs to the server, not to any single leaderboard, so the sentence above does not cover it: deleting a leaderboard does not delete it, and it is retained for as long as that server uses the currency system. The ledger is append-only. A reversed payout is recorded as a second, opposite entry rather than by erasing the first, because the ledger is what explains every balance.

A known gap, stated plainly. The Bot's self-service /delete_my_data command removes only the leaderboards and scores held under your own personal workspace. It does not reach currency data, because that data belongs to the server that issued it rather than to you alone. To have your balance, earnings ledger and purchase history removed from a server, contact us as described in section 11 and we will delete it for you. Extending the self-service command to cover it is planned.

9. Age Requirements

Our services are intended for users who meet Discord's minimum age requirement (13 years or older, or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect information from children under these age limits.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information
• Request deletion of images you have uploaded
• Request that we restrict or stop processing your data
• Set your leaderboards to private to control public visibility, which also removes them from search engines and link previews

11. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to exercise your data rights, please contact us through our Discord support server.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
