Privacy
We process as little personal data as possible. This page explains what we process, what we don't, and how you can exercise your rights.
1. Data we process
- Discord IDs — numeric identifiers used to look up risk entries.
- Optional aliases — short labels associated with risk entries when relevant.
- Risk entry metadata — risk level, status, source counts, review timestamps, internal references.
- Account information — username, email and password hash for registered customers.
- API usage logs — request counts, timestamps and rate-limit data for abuse prevention.
- Report and appeal information — submitted text, optional evidence links and contact email.
2. Data we do not process
- No real names are required for searches.
- No home addresses.
- No phone numbers.
- No public exposure of private evidence.
- No sale of personal data to third parties.
- No long-term storage of raw IP addresses beyond what is technically necessary.
3. Why we process data
- To provide risk checks against admin-reviewed entries.
- To prevent abuse of our service (rate-limit enforcement, duplicate detection).
- To review reports submitted by community members.
- To handle appeals and corrections.
- To secure the service against attacks and unauthorised access.
- To improve reliability and operational quality.
4. Neutral assessment
Risk entries are indicators based on the internal source situation, not final verdicts. We use neutral wording such as risk entry, risk signal, linked to known risk source or admin-reviewed entry. CheatSentry does not publicly shame users.
5. Retention
We keep data only as long as necessary for service operation, abuse prevention, legal obligations and review purposes. Risk entries may be updated, downgraded or removed after manual review. API usage logs and search logs are pseudonymised on a rolling basis.
6. Your rights
Where applicable under data protection law (including the GDPR for EU users), you may exercise the following rights:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Correction — request that inaccurate data is corrected.
- Deletion — request deletion where legally possible.
- Restriction — request that processing is restricted.
- Objection — object to certain processing of your data.
- Appeal / manual review — request a manual review of a risk entry via our appeal form.
