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 are retained for a limited time window (minutes and days), then automatically cleaned up. Web server logs are retained for a limited period defined by the site operator.
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, or restrict processing of personal data. For requests, contact the site operator.
