2. Data We Collect

• Account data: Username, email address, and password (hashed) when you register.
• FACEIT data: Public player statistics, match history, ELO ratings, and profile information sourced from the FACEIT Data API. This data is publicly available on FACEIT and is not exclusively collected by us.

• To authenticate your account and maintain session security.
• To respond to support requests and inquiries.
• To send important service-related updates (no marketing without consent).

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Player statistics and match data sourced from FACEIT are displayed publicly on the Platform as they are already publicly available. We do not share your email address or account credentials with any external parties.

5. Cookies

We use session cookies solely to maintain your login state. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this will prevent you from staying logged in.

6. Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by contacting us. Public match statistics derived from FACEIT data may be retained for historical record purposes.

• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@fdzorg.com.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Platform uses the FACEIT Data API to retrieve player and match data. Your use of FACEIT-linked features is also subject to FACEIT's own Privacy Policy. DZ Portal is not affiliated with or endorsed by FACEIT Ltd.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on the Platform. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
