Privacy Policy for EADiplomacy

Effective Date: October 19, 2025

EADiplomacy (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our website EADiplomacy.com and associated services. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

  1. Information We Collect

    When you log in via Discord, we collect certain information from your Discord profile, including:

    • Discord User ID
    • Username and discriminator (e.g., User#1234)
    • Avatar (if available)
    • Public flags, user flags, and badges
    • Global display name
    • Locale
    • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) status
    • Premium status

    Note: “Logging in” on EADiplomacy does not create a traditional user account or profile on the website. It simply allows us to retrieve your Discord information to track Elo ratings and leaderboard statistics. You will not see a personal profile page or have a typical logged-in session at this time.

    Additionally, we may collect automatically:

    • IP address
    • Device type and browser information
    • Usage data (e.g., pages visited, games viewed, leaderboard activity)
  2. How We Use Your Information

    • To retrieve Discord information for Elo calculation and leaderboard tracking
    • To manage upcoming, current, and archived games
    • To provide support through our support page
    • To process donations through PayPal (we do not store your payment information; PayPal processes this independently)
    • To improve the website and user experience

    We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

  3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

    EADiplomacy uses cookies for essential site functionality and limited analytics purposes. Essential cookies are required to maintain your login session when you sign in via Discord, allowing you to stay logged in and use features like posting blog entries without needing to log in repeatedly. These cookies are always active and do not require your consent.

    We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use EADiplomacy. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect anonymous usage information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and general browser and device data. This information helps us improve the site’s performance and user experience. Analytics cookies do not include personal data or advertising identifiers and are not used for ad targeting.

    When you first visit the site, a cookie banner appears giving you the option to accept or reject analytics cookies. Google Analytics will only load if you explicitly accept analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser’s localStorage and you will not be prompted again unless you clear your storage or cookies.

    You can withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time by clearing your browser storage or by using browser settings or extensions that block Google Analytics.

    By using EADiplomacy, you consent to the use of essential cookies. Analytics cookies are only used if you have actively accepted them via the cookie banner.

  4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

    Your information is not shared with any third parties except as required by law, to protect our rights, or as described below.

    We use Backendless as our backend service provider, which stores the user data collected from Discord for Elo tracking and leaderboard purposes.

    We also use Web3Forms to process and manage contact form submissions. By using our contact form, you consent to your data being handled by Web3Forms.

    Payments made via PayPal are processed directly through PayPal. We do not store your payment information.

  5. Data Retention

    We retain your information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you wish to delete your data, you can get in touch with us via the contact page.

  6. Your Rights

    Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

    • Access and receive a copy of your personal data
    • Correct or update your personal data
    • Request deletion of your personal data
    • Object to the processing of your personal data
    • Withdraw consent at any time

    To exercise these rights, please reach out through the contact page.

  7. Security

    We implement reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  8. Children’s Privacy

    EADiplomacy is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe we have, please contact us to request deletion.

  9. Third-Party Links

    Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.
