WoT Replay Recorder is operated by Technyx LLC, who is the data controller for everything described here. "We" and "us" below mean Technyx LLC. You can reach us at [email protected].
The service holds very little about you, and this page says exactly what and why.
What we hold
| What | Where it comes from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wargaming account id, in-game name, region | Wargaming, when you sign in | To know whose account and whose replays are whose |
| Email address, if you add one | You, on the account page | To tell you a recording is ready. Optional, and removable |
| Replay files you upload, and the videos made from them | You | To do the thing you asked for, and to let you download it again |
| Credit and payment records | Paddle, when you buy | To know what you bought and what your balance is |
| Permission to upload to your YouTube channel, if you connect one | Google, when you connect your channel | To publish the recordings you choose to your channel. Kept encrypted, and deleted when you disconnect or delete your account |
| Where your recordings are on YouTube: the channel and video ids | YouTube, when we upload one | To link to them, and to remove our own copies when we have to |
| Server logs, including IP addresses | Automatically | To keep the service running and to investigate faults |
We never receive your Wargaming password. Sign-in happens on Wargaming's own site. We never receive your card details either — those go to Paddle.
Analytics, and cookies
Page views are counted with Rybbit, which we run ourselves and which does not use cookies or build a profile of you across sites. That is why there is no cookie banner: the only cookie set is the one that keeps you signed in.
Who else touches it
- Backblaze B2 (United States) — stores your replay files and videos.
- Amazon SES (United States) — sends the emails, so it sees your address.
- Cloudflare — carries traffic to the site.
- Paddle — takes payment as the merchant of record, and holds the billing details you give them.
- Google (YouTube) — receives the recordings we publish, to your channel or ours, with their title and description. See YouTube and Google.
Some of these are in the United States, so if you are in Europe your data is transferred there. We do not sell anything about you, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the list above.
Sharing a recording
Your recordings are private to your account unless you choose otherwise. On any finished recording you can ask for a shareable link, and then anyone holding that link can watch it without signing in. Nothing is shared until you ask, and there is no setting that shares things by default.
A shared page shows the battle, the scoreboard from the replay and the video. It shows the in-game name the replay carries, which is the name other players saw in that battle. It does not name your account, your email address or anything you have bought.
Turning a link off stops it working immediately, including copies you have already sent to other people, because every link is checked against your account's settings each time it is opened. The one exception is a video already playing in somebody's browser: the address it is using lasts a couple of hours and then stops. We also ask search engines not to index shared pages, and we do not list them anywhere.
A share link plays a video we host ourselves, not one on a video site, so turning the link off or deleting your account removes every copy of it. Copies on YouTube are separate, and are covered under YouTube and Google.
Being featured
We sometimes show a few recordings on our home page and publish them on our YouTube channel. Yours may be one of them unless you tell us otherwise. We are explicit about that because it is the part people would want to know: we do not ask first. What we would be showing is a recording of a public match, under the in-game name the replay carries — a name every player in that battle already saw.
A featured recording shows what a shared one shows: the battle, the scoreboard from the replay, the video, and that in-game name. It does not name your account, and it does not carry your email address or anything else you have given us.
Nothing is shown because it was uploaded. We choose recordings individually, so being eligible is not the same as being published.
You can rule out a single recording from its own page, or every recording — including ones you upload later — from your account page. Either takes effect immediately: your choice is checked every time the home page is drawn, not copied somewhere else. If a featured recording only had a public link because we featured it, we take that link back when it comes down; a link you created yourself is left alone. Turning off a recording's share link also removes it from the home page. A copy on our YouTube channel comes down whenever the recording stops being featured, for any of these reasons, within seven days and usually within minutes. We may take one down ourselves at any time, for any reason or none.
YouTube and Google
WoT Replay Recorder uses YouTube API Services, in two ways.
Your own channel, if you connect it. You can connect your YouTube channel from your account page, and then publish a finished recording to it from the recording's page. Google asks you to grant us one permission, which can only upload: it cannot change or delete anything on your channel, and we only upload what you ask us to. We keep that permission encrypted and delete it when you disconnect your channel or delete your account. Videos on your own channel are yours, so deleting your account here does not remove them.
Our channel. We publish featured recordings to our own YouTube channel, under the rules in Being featured above, and remove our copy whenever a recording stops being featured, including when you delete your account.
Either way, a video's title and description name the map, the tank, the battle result and the in-game name shown in the replay. YouTube's handling of the videos is covered by the Google Privacy Policy, and the videos by the YouTube Terms of Service. You can revoke our access to your channel at any time from your account page, or at Google's permissions page.
How long
- Replays and videos are kept while your account exists, so you can download them again.
- Payment and credit records are kept for as long as we are required to, which is ordinarily six years for accounting.
- Server logs are kept for a short period and then rotated away.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and everything with it. Email [email protected] from the address on your account, or from any address if you tell us your in-game name — we will check it is you before doing anything.
Deleting your account removes your replays, your videos and your email address, and any share links stop working. Any copy of your recordings on our YouTube channel is removed within seven days, and our permission to upload to your channel is revoked. Videos you published to your own channel stay there, because they are yours. Payment records are kept, without the rest, because we are required to keep them.
Your email address is yours to remove at any time from the account page, without asking anyone.
If you are in the EU or UK and think we have handled your data badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority.
