What data is processed
- RuneScape names you type in are used to fetch stats from public hiscores / Wise Old Man.
- Rate limiting identifiers: to protect the site and upstream APIs, the server stores a hashed identifier derived from your IP address, plus a counter and time bucket.
- Server logs: like most websites, the web server (Nginx) may log IP address, URL, user-agent, and timestamp for security and troubleshooting.
Why
The site uses rate limiting and basic logging to prevent abuse, keep the service available, and stay within upstream API limits.
Retention
- Rate limiting counters: per-minute counters are kept for up to 2 days and daily counters for up to 30 days, then automatically deleted. Only the hash is stored, never the IP address itself.
- Stat lookups are cached for up to 7 days to reduce load on the upstream APIs.
- Web server access logs are rotated weekly and 4 rotations are kept, so an entry is retained for approximately 4 to 5 weeks. Error logs are rotated weekly with 10 kept, approximately 10 weeks.
