Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how StatForge (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our platform, APIs, and services.

StatForge provides verified competitive match data, APIs, and platform tools for applications and integrations.

By using StatForge, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

a. Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect:

• Username or display name
• Email address
• Authentication identifiers (e.g., OAuth provider IDs)
• Account roles and permissions

b. Usage Data

We automatically collect limited technical data such as:

• IP address
• Request timestamps
• API usage metrics (endpoints, rate, errors)
• Device/browser information

This data is used for:

• Security and abuse prevention
• Rate limiting and performance monitoring
• Debugging and system reliability

c. Integration Data

When using the API or platform integrations:

• API keys and scopes

d. Match and Gameplay Data

StatForge processes competitive match-related data, including:

• Player identifiers (e.g., persona IDs)
• Match participation and outcomes
• Performance statistics (kills, deaths, score, etc.)

This data may originate from:

• Platform verification processes
• User-submitted or integration-provided data
• Public or system-observed gameplay data

StatForge does not expose raw internal detection or pipeline data through customer-facing APIs.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected data to:

• Provide and operate the platform
• Deliver verified match outcomes and leaderboards
• Authenticate users and API access
• Improve system performance and reliability
• Detect fraud, abuse, or manipulation
• Support integrations and developer tools

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

We may share data in the following cases:

• With your applications: data requested via your API key
• With service providers: hosting, infrastructure, and monitoring (e.g., cloud providers)
• For legal reasons: if required by law or to protect platform integrity

5. Cookies and Authentication

StatForge uses cookies to:

• Maintain authenticated sessions
• Secure access to platform features
• Improve user experience

Cookies are required for login and platform functionality.

Disabling cookies may prevent proper operation of the service.

6. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as necessary to:

• Operate the platform
• Maintain verified match history
• Support integrations and system integrity

Some data (such as match results) may be retained indefinitely as part of the canonical record.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, including:

• Secure API authentication (API keys, scoped access)
• Rate limiting and abuse protection
• Infrastructure-level security controls

However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access your account data
• Request corrections
• Request deletion of personal account data

9. Third-Party Services

StatForge may rely on third-party providers for:

• Hosting and infrastructure

• Monitoring and logging

These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
