What bdx keeps, and why.

Like almost every website, our hosting keeps a short record of each request: the time, your IP address, the page, the page that sent you and your browser type. We use it to count visits, fix errors and keep the site safe from attacks.

• These records are deleted after 7 days.
• Our visit statistics never keep IP addresses. Each visitor is counted once a day with a code that can’t be linked from one day to the next.
• Statistics keep each visit’s page, time, rough location (country or city) and browser for 7 days. After that only daily totals remain for 90 days, then overall totals, with nothing about any one visitor.

bdx.gg sets no tracking cookies. The only cookie we set is the Card Studio’s login cookie, for champions who log in (see Card Studio).

A few display choices, like a folded panel or the card art you picked, are saved in your own browser and never sent to us. Clearing the site’s data resets them.

There are no ads from ad networks on bdx.gg today. The panels that point to the Arena of Solare rankings or the Master Class are our own pages and track nothing.

We may add ads in the future, such as Google AdSense, to help cover the site’s costs. Ad networks set their own cookies to show and measure ads, under their own privacy policies. Before any ads go live we will update this page to name the provider and explain your choices, and ask for your consent where the law requires it. Ads won’t change our promise: we still won’t sell your data.

The Arena of Solare rankings show family names, classes, gear and results from Black Desert’s public rankings. If something about you is wrong, tell us.

Nobody, for their own use. The services that host bdx.gg store and process data only on our behalf. Twitch and Discord see what you do with them under their own policies (see Master Class). We would hand data over only if the law required us to.

When a listed streamer is live, the Master Class pages show their stream from Twitch: profile pictures, previews and, on a computer, a muted player that opens by itself. Fold the player and it stays closed. On a phone, streams open on Twitch instead.

All of this loads straight from Twitch, which sees your IP address and may set its own cookies under Twitch’s privacy notice. Twitch tells us nothing about you.

Players’ in-game names, classes, ranks and results come from the official tournament results. If something about you is wrong, tell us.

Master Class champions can log in to the Card Studio to customise the cards they won. Nobody else needs to log in. For a champion, we keep:

• Your Discord account: your Discord ID, username and avatar, which Discord shares when you log in. Never your email, servers or messages (Discord’s privacy policy).
• Your work: drafts, the pictures you upload (with camera and location details removed), what you publish, and any seat request with its note.
• A change history: who gave access, published or changed what, and when, so mistakes can be put right.
• A login cookie that keeps you logged in for up to 180 days. Logging out removes it.

Access codes are stored so that nobody, including us, can read them back, and repeated wrong codes are blocked for a short while to stop guessing.

Who sees it: cards you publish are public at once, under your player name. Your Discord account never appears on the site. Drafts and unpublished pictures are seen only by you and the bdx team, who manage access and can take cards down.

How long: as long as the Card Studio runs, or until you ask us to remove it. Deleted files leave our backups after 30 days. The Card Studio’s data is stored in the United States.

Message the bdx team on Discord to find out what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted. Removing your published cards puts the official ones back.

When this page changes, the date at the top changes too. Anything that changes what we keep, like adding ads, goes on this page before it happens.
