Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data Professor Dynamo (the website at dynamoprof.com and the Professor Dynamo Discord bot) collects, why, and what you can do about it. It is written in line with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 94-V of 21 May 2013 “On Personal Data and Their Protection”.
Who is responsible
The data controller is Madi Kassymov, Kazakhstan. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
- Discord sign-in. When you sign in with Discord we receive your Discord user ID, username,
display name and avatar (OAuth scope
identify). We also read the list of servers you are in (scopeguilds) only to check whether you administer the community server. The server list and your Discord access token are not stored. - Steam link. If you use the
/linkcommand, we store your Discord user ID together with your Steam account ID and Steam persona name, so the bot can show your Deadlock rank and statistics. - Community server members. The bot keeps the Discord user ID, username and display name of members of the community server to build leaderboards and tournament rosters.
- Tournaments and ratings. Tournament participants, teams, match results and ratings that an administrator assigns to players without a rank.
- Drafts. Hero and ability draft rooms contain the player names and picks entered for that room. Rooms expire six hours after the last move.
- Technical data. Like any website, our server and our network provider Cloudflare process your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and protect the service against abuse.
Public game data
Ranks, MMR and match history are fetched from the public Deadlock API using the Steam account you linked. This data is already public; we show it and do not sell it.
Why we use it
- to sign you in and recognise administrators;
- to balance teams, run drafts and tournaments, and post announcements in Discord;
- to show leaderboards, profiles and statistics;
- to keep the service secure and working.
We process this data because you chose to use these features (your consent), and where needed to provide the service you asked for. We do not use your data for advertising and we do not run analytics or tracking.
Who else sees it
We do not sell or rent personal data. It passes through these services only as needed to run Professor Dynamo: Discord (sign-in and bot messages), Valve / Steam and the Deadlock API (public game data), Cloudflare (network and security) and Google Fonts (web fonts loaded by your browser). Some of these providers are outside Kazakhstan, so data may be processed abroad.
How long we keep it
- sign-in sessions: up to 7 days, or until you sign out;
- Steam link: until you run
/unlinkor ask us to delete it; - server member records: while you are a member of the community server;
- tournaments: until the tournament is deleted by an administrator;
- draft rooms: six hours after the last move.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal data, or withdraw your consent at any time.
Run /unlink in Discord to remove your Steam link yourself, or write to [email protected] for anything else.
We reply within a reasonable time, normally within 30 days.
Children
Professor Dynamo is not meant for children under the minimum age set by Discord’s own terms.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
Dynamo Hub project reference
Dynamo Hub, the Windows companion app available through Professor Dynamo, was developed with Deadlock+ (deadlock-plus/deadlock-plus) as a project reference. The reference project's source code is available in that repository. We credit the Deadlock+ authors and contributors for their work.
