Privacy & Cookie Policy

Who we are

Nydus.gg is an unofficial, non-commercial fan website with statistics for the StarCraft: Brood War Remastered ladder. It is run by a private individual based in the Czech Republic (EU), who is the data controller for this website. Contact: [email protected].

Ladder and player data

Player names (in-game "toons"), ratings (MMR), tiers, win/loss records, race, region and match history shown on this site come from public data that StarCraft: Remastered exposes to every player in-game, and from replays that Blizzard stores publicly. We do not receive anyone's e-mail address, real name or account password from these sources. A detected country is an estimate.

If you are a player and want your replays hidden or a profile reviewed, write to [email protected] with your in-game name and region. We handle such requests free of charge, usually within 14 days. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in publishing community game statistics (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You have the right to object.

What we collect when you visit

• Server and security logs: IP address, browser user agent, requested page, referring site, approximate country (from Cloudflare), screen size and time. We use them to keep the site running, stop abusive bots and count visits. Raw IP addresses are deleted after 90 days at the latest; only aggregated statistics are kept longer.
• Feedback form: your message, the page you were on, and, only if you fill them in, your e-mail and in-game nick. We use them only to reply and to fix the site.
• Accounts (Battle.net sign-in), when enabled: if you sign in with Battle.net, Blizzard sends us your BattleTag and a numeric account ID. We never see your Blizzard password or e-mail. We store your nickname, the link to your ladder profile and the date of registration. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
• Replay uploads: replay files you upload (.rep) are stored on our server, analysed automatically (build order, APM, chat) and shown publicly with the player names they contain. Upload only replays you are allowed to share. Ask us to remove one at any time.

Advertising (with your consent): we use Google AdSense to show ads that pay for the server. Google and its partners use cookies (for example __gads, __gpi, IDE) to show ads, limit how often you see them and, if you agree, personalise them based on your visits to this and other websites. Without consent, Google shows only non-personalised ads. More: How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Some of these providers are outside the EU; transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. We do not sell personal data.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, and data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. Write to [email protected]. You can also complain to the Czech data protection authority, ÚOOÚ (uoou.gov.cz).
