Your Data

Account creation

If you create an account at Untapped.gg, the account that you create will be a master account that you will use for future games that we support. In the future, we might migrate HSReplay.net to also use this master account, however initially there will be two account management pages: one for HSReplay.net users (https://hsreplay.net/account/); and, a second one for Untapped.gg users (https://accounts.untapped.gg/settings). Account creation and/or registration for and/or use of any of HeathSim’s Sites or Services is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Additional information about your privacy and your data can be found in the following sections.

Data that we share with Third-Parties and why

One of our goals in the creation of this service is to understand the games we support and their metagames. We consider it in our legitimate interests to collect and process your data, for example to: provide you with game analysis and statistics tools; and, to contribute that data back to the community in various ways such as blog posts, APIs, and interactive features. Some of these features are monetized in order to help us keep some services free and to ensure the continued development of the many free tools we provide to the gaming community.

As part of our operations and in order to provide you with our services, we sometimes need to share data with third-parties. The list of third-parties we may share data with, why we share data with them, how they use the data, as well as resources on their own privacy policies and compliance information, is available here (we do not endorse nor take any responsibility for the content on or information contained within the third parties’ resources):

Upon signing up with our Service, we ask that you share your email address with us. We will verify that you own this email address by first sending you a verification email.

This address may be used for account and billing related notifications. Furthermore, the billing email is automatically shared with Stripe, our Payment gateway. Your email may be deleted from Stripe by deleting your account with us.

Upon signup or during your usage of the Service, you will also be asked whether you consent, or opt-in, to our collection and processing of your personal data for providing the Service and/or marketing emails and other push notifications (you may opt in or out of any of these marketing choices at any time from the Email section of the relevant Account Settings page).

Regardless of policy, we respect your inbox and we will take great care not to send you unnecessary or unsolicited emails.

Billing data

When opting to make a purchase with us, you implicitly share some information with us that we may store indefinitely for legal and tax compliance purposes.

The type of data received and stored depends on the Payment Provider you use. However, in no case does our Service ever get access to or store any data considered sensitive by The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI-DSS” or “PCI”), such as full payment card number. See below for more information about PCI-DSS. Furthermore, at no point during payment is your information transferred over an insecure connection. As of May 2018, all connections to our Service are encrypted and require TLS version 1.2 or higher.

For PayPal users

For Stripe users

For all payment methods except PayPal, we use Stripe, a secure payment provider, trusted by thousands of online businesses.

PCI Compliance

Thanks to the help of our payment gateways, our Service complies with PCI-DSS. For more information on PCI Compliance, please see the following resources:

We use Google Analytics to understand how our users use the website. All data is anonymous. We also use our own internal tracking tooling. Data tracked using our own tools is not sent to a third party, as we process that data ourselves.
