The data we process
- Your Twitch or Kick account: user ID, username, display name and avatar.
- Your League of Legends account, if you link it: technical Riot identifier, server, current Solo/Duo rank (tier and division) and your LP if you choose to show them. Your Riot ID is never stored.
- Your choices: how your rank is shown, your “I am 15 or older” declaration and a dated receipt of each consent given or withdrawn (including the one from the old Twitch extension).
- For the badges: the last username you used in Sardoche’s chat on each platform, and the day of that message.
- Your account activity (account linking, display changes), with no IP address.
- Your Discord link, if you have one: Discord ID and username, subscription tier and length, state of your subscriber roles.
- The old Twitch extension data, if you had linked your LoL account there: tier, division and the link to that account.
- Your Sardoche TCG collection: Twitch or Kick ID, username and display name, cards obtained and their date.
- Audience measurement: page views, referring site and campaign (“utm”), device, screen, browser, language… and the usernames of the Sardoche TCG profiles viewed. Your IP address is not stored: it is only used briefly, to avoid counting the same person twice. Only totals are kept, not tied to your account, and the daily totals are public. Totals from before this version of the page may still contain the full address of the pages (for example your Discord ID in an account-linking link), until they are deleted.
We do not collect your email address (unless you write to us) or your password. Never kept: your Riot access tokens, your match history, your summoner level and icon, or your rank history.
Why, and on what basis
- Logging in with Twitch or Kick and linking your LoL or Discord account: performance of the service you request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
- Showing your rank publicly (badges,
!rang,!rang @username): your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time. For a legacy connection, it is the one given in the old Twitch extension, for the Twitch chat only. - Chat moderation and service security (“rank-restricted chat” mode (“chat réservé par rang”),
!pcommand): Sardoche’s legitimate interest in moderating his chat and protecting accounts (Article 6(1)(f)). Only your tier and division are used, and this rank is never published; you can object by unlinking your LoL account. - Support and moderation by the administrators (requests, abuse, badges, account links, Discord roles): Sardoche’s legitimate interest in supporting his users and moderating his chat (Article 6(1)(f)).
- Sardoche TCG collection: Sardoche’s legitimate interest in giving cards to his subscribers (Article 6(1)(f)).
- Audience measurement: Sardoche’s legitimate interest in knowing how much traffic his site and his extension’s content get (Article 6(1)(f)).
What is public
- Your rank (tier and division, tier only, “Master+”, shown as “Maître+”, or “Unranked”, shown as “Non classé”, without a Solo/Duo rank) next to your username, on the platform you chose: only if you turn it on, or by default on Twitch for a legacy connection.
- Your LP, only if you choose to show them.
- The badge list, which anyone can download. You only appear in it if you have written in Sardoche’s chat on that platform in the last 30 days.
- Never public: your Riot ID, your Riot identifier, your server, your match history, your username on the other platform, or the link between your Twitch and Kick accounts. Your Discord account only appears in the announcement of your link, on Sardoche’s Discord.
- Good to know: showing your rank on both Twitch and Kick may suggest that both usernames are yours, and what has already been seen or recorded (screenshots, clips, VODs) cannot be erased.
Legacy connections from the old Twitch extension
If you had linked your League of Legends account in Sardoche’s old Twitch extension, that link was carried over, only after checking with Riot that it is the same account. You had then agreed to your rank being shown: so it is shown by default in Sardoche’s Twitch chat (tier and division, or “Unranked”; nothing on Kick, and the other options, including !rang @username, stay off), and your account page presents it as a “Legacy connection”.
You can object and withdraw this consent at any time: in one click on your account page (“Stop showing my rank”), with !rang off in the Twitch chat, or by unlinking your LoL account, which also erases the old extension data.
We invite you to reconnect your account with Riot (Riot Sign-On) from your account page. Same LoL account: your setting is kept, but your rank is only shown if you confirm that you are 15 or older. Different account: the display is turned off until you consent again.
Recipients and sources
Your data comes from you, from Twitch or Kick, from Discord, from Riot, from Sardoche’s chat and from the old Twitch extension (legacy connections). The site and its databases are hosted in the European Union (Google, Supabase). Who receives it, with the safeguard of each transfer outside the Union:
- The public: the badges shown.
- The sardoche.tv administrators, for support and moderation: your account, your Discord link, the old extension data and your Riot ID, read live from Riot.
- Google (United States): hosting in the European Union, emails, the extension’s files, the Pandora proxy relay, technical logs (sometimes outside the European Union). Safeguards: Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
- Riot Games (United States): reading your rank and your Riot ID. Safeguard: Data Privacy Framework.
- Discord (United States): your link, your subscriber roles and the announcement of your link (on the server and as a direct message). Safeguard: Data Privacy Framework.
- Supabase (Singapore, data in Ireland): your Sardoche TCG collection, and your IP address when you load some of the site’s images. Safeguard: standard contractual clauses.
- Vercel (United States): your IP address and your request if you go through www.sardoche.tv. Safeguard: Data Privacy Framework.
- Twitch (United States) and Kick (Australia): login, chat (bot replies, moderation, Sardoche TCG cards), administrator lookups (Twitch), the extension’s images (Kick). What you send them yourself falls under your own relationship with them; Twitch is not on the Data Privacy Framework list and Australia has no adequacy decision.
How long
- Profile and linked accounts, including LoL: as long as your profile exists, deleted as soon as you ask.
- Consent receipts: as long as your profile exists.
- Discord link: until you unlink it.
- Account activity, and the administrators’ log (including each lookup of your Riot ID): 12 months.
- Moderation command log: 90 days.
- Riot ID (never stored) and a link in progress: 10 minutes at most.
- Technical logs and backups: 30 days at most.
- Audience totals: 7 days (detail) and 90 days (per day).
- Data Riot asks us to delete: erased within 30 days.
- Turning the display off: your badge disappears from the chat within minutes.
- Sardoche TCG collection: until you ask for it to be deleted.
- SardAlert extension: on your device, until you log out (Twitch data) or uninstall it (everything else).
Your rights
You can access your data, correct it, erase it, object to its processing or restrict it, ask for its portability (where it applies) and withdraw your consent at any time.
The easiest way: your account page, to view your data, withdraw your consent (or !rang off), unlink your LoL account or delete your profile. Otherwise, write to privacy@sardoche.tv. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority (www.cnil.fr).
Under 15
You must be 15 or older to make your rank public (Article 45 of the French Data Protection Act, loi Informatique et Libertés). Under 15, your account can stay linked, but your rank is not shown.
Exception: a legacy connection is shown without this declaration, on the basis of the consent given in the old extension, until it is reconnected with Riot. If you are under 15, turn this display off in one click on your account page.
Cookies
The Sardoche account only uses necessary cookies: your login session, its security and two temporary cookies while you link your account with Riot. No advertising or tracking cookies, and the audience measurement sets none.
SardAlert extension
On Twitch, the extension only acts on Sardoche’s chat page. There it reads the chat (usernames and messages) on your device only, for the badges, the “typing” animation and the emotes: nothing is stored or sent. It also reads your Twitch username there, to tell you whether your rank is shown. To load its content, it contacts Google, sardoche.tv and sometimes Kick, which see your IP address as with any website.
If you log in with Twitch in the extension (on Twitch’s own page, without it seeing your password), it keeps on your device its Twitch login token (used only with Twitch), your profile and your subscription tier, to show that tier and open the Pandora proxy to you when it is reserved for subscribers.
Everything it keeps (Twitch login, your username read on the chat page, settings, announcements seen or dismissed) stays on your device. None of it is sent to us, except your username if you click “Voir mes cartes” (“See my cards”) and the anonymous count of the announcements shown (see below). Logging out erases your Twitch data, uninstalling erases everything, and you can remove its access in your Twitch settings (“Connections”).
Pandora proxy: when it is on, your connection to pandora.com goes through our relay in the United States, which sees your IP address without storing it.
Clicks on and views of the popup’s content are counted anonymously: no cookie, no identifier, and your IP address is not stored. On Firefox, only if you accept sharing the extension’s “technical and interaction data”.
