ValoMapper ("we", "our", or "us") is a website that helps players create and share strategies for VALORANT. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using ValoMapper, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy.

Riot Sign-On Opt-In

By signing in with your Riot account, you agree to make your gameplay data visible through ValoMapper. Players who have not opted in will not have their data displayed. We will never show other players' information without their explicit consent.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

Account Information

If you choose to create an account, we collect:

  • Username
  • Email address
  • Password (securely hashed via Firebase Authentication)
  • Or you may choose to sign in with Riot Sign-On (RSO); in that case we receive a Firebase custom token and store your RSO subject ID.

Your email and authentication credentials are stored in Firebase Authentication. We also maintain a reference to your account in our PostgreSQL database, which includes your username, user ID, Firebase ID, email address, email verification status, and account creation/update timestamps. If you sign in with RSO, the only personal identifier stored is your Riot subject ID. RSO access, refresh, and identity tokens are stored server-side and are used strictly for authentication and optional future features. These tokens are not exposed in browser-facing API responses.

Billing Information

If you purchase a paid subscription, we store limited billing and subscription records, including:

  • Selected plan and billing interval
  • Stripe customer ID and Stripe subscription ID
  • Subscription status and relevant billing-period timestamps
  • Limited Stripe metadata used to associate a subscription with your ValoMapper account

Payment card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe. ValoMapper does not store full payment card numbers or card security codes.

Strategy Content

When you create strategies in lobbies, we store:

  • Images (uploaded images are stored in Tigris, an S3-compatible object storage service)
  • Text annotations
  • Drawings
  • Any other content added to the strategy canvas

Lobby Sharing

Lobbies are accessible via unique URLs. Anyone with a lobby URL can view and edit the strategies within that lobby. If you share a lobby URL, the content becomes accessible to anyone who has the link.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit ValoMapper, we may automatically collect basic technical information, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device information
  • IP address (used temporarily for rate limiting and security purposes, not stored long-term)
  • General usage data
  • Error logs (e.g., failed API calls, server errors)

We use this information to maintain, secure, and improve the website. We do not currently use Google Analytics or similar third-party analytics services.

2. Cookies

ValoMapper uses minimal cookies for essential functionality, such as:

  • Session management
  • A short-lived, essential OAuth state cookie used to protect Riot Sign-On against CSRF during login
  • Temporary notification messages (e.g., success toasts after actions)
  • Authentication state

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may prevent certain features from working correctly.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve ValoMapper
  • Manage user accounts and authentication
  • Save and load user-created strategies and lobbies
  • Diagnose errors and monitor site performance
  • Send account-related communications (such as email verification via Firebase)
  • Process subscriptions and manage billing state
  • Implement security measures and rate limiting

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

Public Lobbies

Strategies created in lobbies are accessible to anyone with the lobby URL. By sharing a lobby link, you are making that content publicly accessible.

Stack Plan Members

If you purchase a Premium Stack plan, you may invite other ValoMapper users to share your subscription. When you send or accept a stack invitation, your ValoMapper username and email address become visible to the stack owner and to other active members of that stack. This information is used solely to identify members within the shared plan and is not shared beyond the stack group.

Service Providers

We use trusted third-party services to operate ValoMapper:

  • Firebase Authentication (Google) - for user authentication and account management
  • Stripe - for payment processing and subscription management
  • PostgreSQL Database (Fly.io Postgres) - for storing user references, lobby metadata, and strategy data (excluding images)
  • Tigris - S3-compatible object storage for user-uploaded images (e.g., lineup screenshots added to strategy canvases)
  • Fly.io - for website hosting and infrastructure

These providers have access only to information necessary to perform their services and are obligated to protect your data.

When you start checkout, billing information is submitted directly to Stripe and handled under Stripe's own privacy terms.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ValoMapper, our users, or others.

We do not work with advertising networks or third-party marketers.

5. Email Communications

We may send you emails related to your account, including:

  • Email verification
  • Password reset requests
  • Important notices about your account or significant changes to ValoMapper

We do not send promotional emails, newsletters, or marketing communications.

6. Children's Privacy

ValoMapper is intended for players aged 16 and older, in alignment with VALORANT's age rating. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions where required).

We do not have automated age verification mechanisms in place. If you believe a child has provided personal information to ValoMapper, please contact us at [email protected] and we will promptly investigate and delete such information.

7. Data Retention and Account Deletion

Active Accounts

We retain your account information and associated lobbies for as long as your account remains active.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time through your account settings. When you delete your account:

  • Your account information will be permanently removed from our systems
  • Lobbies you created will become "unclaimed" and will persist temporarily but may be deleted during routine cleanup (approximately every 12 hours)
  • Other users can save unclaimed lobbies to preserve them
  • Lobbies you shared remain accessible via their URLs until they are deleted or expire

Lobby Cleanup

Unclaimed lobbies (those without an associated active account) are subject to periodic cleanup and may be automatically deleted during maintenance sweeps.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: Update or correct your account information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Portability: Request your data in a structured, commonly used format (where applicable)

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to valid requests within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

  • Using Firebase Authentication for secure password storage and management
  • Encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission
  • Secure database storage practices
  • Rate limiting and monitoring for suspicious activity

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a security breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on the ValoMapper website as required by applicable law.

10. International Users and Data Transfers

ValoMapper is operated from Canada. If you are accessing ValoMapper from outside Canada, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada or other countries where our service providers operate. By using ValoMapper, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.

If we make material changes, we may notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

  • Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
  • The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable
  • The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable
