3.10. TEAMWARS MCP (AI Assistant Connection)

This section explains what data is processed when you connect your TEAMWARS account to an AI assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Codex through TEAMWARS MCP. The data controller and how to contact us are the same as in sections 3.2 and 3.8 of this notice.

• What can the assistant see? Only game data that is already public on TEAMWARS: player profiles, match statistics, teams, tournaments played on TEAMWARS, matches, leaderboards and organizers. The connection is read-only; the assistant cannot change anything on your behalf.
• What can the assistant never see? E-mail, phone, password, payment details, IP address, real name, date of birth. Players under 16 and players whose age is unknown never appear; players under 18 appear only as "under 18" and are never listed by player search.
• What do we record when you connect? Which account connected which assistant; when you granted access, connected and disconnected; and for each tool call the time, the tool name, the result and the duration. We do not record your question, your conversation with the assistant or the assistant's answer; they never reach us. The search values the assistant sends to a tool (e.g. a player name) are used only to prepare the response and are not stored. In security logs your IP address is stored only as an irreversible hash. Your password is never shared with the assistant; you sign in on TEAMWARS.
• Why? To provide the service, prevent abuse and meet our legal obligations.
• Anonymous statistics: To improve the service we keep monthly counts that are not linked to any person: only how often each tool and each filter type (e.g. "role", "country") is used. These counts never include who used them, any search values or the names of players or teams viewed.
• How long do we keep it? 365 days; records are then deleted automatically. The connection record is kept for as long as your connection stays active.
• Who do we share it with? We do not share or sell these records. The public game data the assistant receives is subject to the privacy policy of the company providing that assistant (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google).
• How do you remove the connection? In your assistant's connector settings. Changing your password automatically closes all your MCP connections.
• Contact: [email protected] (Subject: "Privacy Request"). Your rights are listed in "Your Rights as a Data Subject" above.
