Other ways we may use your personal information.

In addition to notifying you of activity on our site which may be relevant to you, from time to time we may wish to communicate with all members any important information such as newsletters or announcements by email. You can opt-in to or opt-out of such emails in your profile.

We also store and process user data for our mapping feedback system. This system allows for mappers to receive organized data while it is being tested during a match in team fortress 2. This information may include your steam profile information provided by the steam API as well as the feedback you leave on that map. The system also stores the location of where the feedback was left on that map as well as the specific map version it was left on too. This information is publicly accessible. Users can also authenticate through steam on the feedback site directly and claim a map or leave additional more detailed feedback for a mapper to use.

Our discord bot will also store some data provided by the user. Our discord bot is used for organizing the map testing list. Data such as the discord user ID, discord user handle, the map name, the url provided of the map, and user defined notes. This data is publicly accessible on our bot site external from discord.

Our game servers log user chat logs and actions. This info is only used for moderation events.
