This site is run by the Deadlock India (DLF) community staff, as volunteers. It is not affiliated with Valve or Discord. This policy covers deadlockindia.com, the Watchers League, and our Discord app.
Logging in with Discord
The Watchers League uses Discord login with the identify permission only. From Discord we get and store:
- your Discord user ID, so the same account keeps the same points;
- your Discord display name and avatar, shown on the leaderboard.
We never get your email address, password, servers, friends or messages. We do not keep the Discord access token after login.
What you do in the Watchers League
We store your picks for each match: the winner, the MVP, the Key Players and the stat leaders. Your name, avatar, points and record are public on the leaderboard. Your picks stay private unless you copy a card's share link: anyone you give that link to can see that one card, with your name and avatar. How many people picked each side is public on match pages, but not who picked what.
Cookies
- Login cookie: keeps you logged in for up to 30 days. It holds your watcher number, signed so it cannot be forged.
- Login check cookie: lasts 10 minutes while you are at Discord, to make sure the login that comes back is the one you started.
No advertising or tracking cookies are used.
Other things the site keeps
- Forms: if you apply for staff, we keep what you entered, including your Discord handle, so staff can review it.
- Players: league players' names, Steam account IDs and match stats from the Deadlock API are shown on the site.
- Abuse limits: your IP address is counted for a short time on logins and forms, to stop spam.
- Analytics: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights count page views and loading times without cookies and without identifying you.
Who can see it
Only DLF staff can see stored data beyond what is public on the site. We never sell or share it. It is hosted by Vercel and stored in a Neon Postgres database.
Deleting your data
Ask any staff member on our Discord server and we will delete your Watchers League account and picks. You can also log out at any time from the Watchers League page, and remove the app under Discord's Settings → Authorized Apps.
