Privacy policy
Last updated 1 October 2026
T2 Trials is a community tournament. This page explains what this website and the tools behind it do with information. The short version: you don't need an account to use the site, we don't sell anything about you, and the only thing we measure is how the site is used.
Visiting the site
Browsing the site needs no account and we don't show advertising. Like any website, our servers see your IP address when you load a page. We use it only to keep the site running — for example to stop one visitor sending too many requests — and we don't store it with anything that identifies you.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages are visited, roughly where
visitors come from, and what kind of device and browser they use. To do that it sets
cookies in your browser (their names start with _ga) and sends this
information to Google, which processes it under the
Google Privacy Policy. We
see it as totals, not as a record of what any one person did, and we don't use it for
advertising.
You can opt out with Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking cookies for this site in your browser. The site works the same either way.
Tournament information
The site shows tournament results: team names and logos, player names as registered for the tournament, decks played, match results and statistics. This is published on purpose, as the record of the tournament. If you'd like something about you changed or removed, contact us.
Our YouTube channel and Google user data
T2 Trials uses the YouTube API Services to publish match recordings to the official T2 Trials YouTube channel. Recordings are taken from the public Twitch broadcasts of our matches; we add a title, a description and a thumbnail made from the tournament's own records, and link the video from the match's page on this site.
The only Google account this ever uses is the T2 Trials channel's own, connected once by the channel's owner. Visitors never sign in with Google, and no one else's Google or YouTube account is accessed.
- What we access: one permission, "Manage your YouTube videos"
(the
youtube.uploadscope), which lets us upload videos and set their thumbnails on our channel. We don't read the channel's analytics, comments, subscribers, playlists or any other data. - What we keep: the ID and privacy status of each video we upload, so the site can link a match to its video, and an access token that lets our server upload. Nothing else from Google is stored.
- How we use it: only to upload our match recordings and link them on this site.
- How it's protected: the access token is kept only in our server's configuration, readable by the site administrators alone, and is only ever sent to Google, over an encrypted connection.
- Sharing: we don't sell, share or transfer Google user data to anyone.
- Keeping and deleting it: a video's ID is kept for as long as the match's record is. Access can be revoked at any time from Google's security settings, after which the token stops working and we delete it; to have anything else removed, contact us.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. By watching our videos on YouTube you are using YouTube, which is covered by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
