Privacy Policy

ApexKD (apexkd.com, the "Site") is a free Apex Legends stats and meta site. We collect only what the member features need, and handle it as described below.

1. Information we process

Email sign-up: email, password (stored as a one-way hash), display name
Google or Kakao sign-up: your account ID at that service, email (if you choose to share it), display name. The name from the social service is only used as a default on the sign-up form.
Things you save: linked Apex account (platform, name, UID), favorites, recent searches, watchlist, stream overlay presets, notification settings
If you link Discord alerts: your Discord user ID and when you linked it
If you register a streaming channel: the channel (platform, channel ID and URL, the channel name the platform reports), your intro, whether you're listed on the streamer list, and the live status we check (live or not, stream title, viewer count, start time)
Notifications: the content of watchlist and support reply notifications, and whether you read them
What you write when contacting us: request type, subject, conversation, the page you started from, site language
Consent records: terms version, time of consent, confirmation that you are 14 or older
Generated automatically: login sessions (IP address, browser info, time), security logs (login success and failure, sign-up, password change, deletion, with time and IP)
Visit statistics (members and visitors alike): only totals that can't identify anyone. We add up the date and hour (KST), the kind of page viewed (stats pages only down to the platform, no player names), site language, the first entry of the browser's language setting (e.g. zh-TW, en-US), mobile or desktop, whether it was a bot, the referring site's host name (e.g. google.com), and whether this browser is visiting for the first time today. No IP address, cookie value, or browser identifier is stored. Stream overlays are only counted as times opened.

2. Why we use it

To identify you and keep you logged in
To provide the features you save (favorites, watchlist, overlay presets)
To answer support requests and tell you about replies by notification and email
To record RP automatically for your linked Apex account
To show members who register and list their channels on the streamer list, and to check their live status
To keep accounts secure and prevent abuse
To understand and improve how the site is used (visit statistics, stats searches that found nothing)

3. Retention and deletion

Account and saved data (including notifications, support conversations, and the Discord link): until you delete your account, then removed from the database right away.
Streaming channels, intro, and live status: deleted right away when you remove the channel or delete your account. If you turn listing off, you disappear from the list and we stop checking your live status.
Login sessions: expire and are removed 30 days after last use.
Visit statistics: totals only, deleted after 90 days. Stats searches that found nothing (platform, the name searched, time) are kept with the lookup log for up to 7 days.
Security logs: kept for 90 days. When you delete your account, logs linked to you are removed immediately; only a single deletion record (time and IP, no account data) remains for 90 days.
Apex stat history (such as RP charts) is public game data keyed by in-game name, not member data, and follows the Site's own retention (up to 180 days).

4. Sharing

We don't sell or share personal information. Data is stored and processed on the Site's own server.

Processor: verification codes and support reply emails are sent through the mail server of Cafe24 Corp., which receives the recipient address and the email content.

If you link Discord alerts, notifications are delivered through Discord Inc., which receives your Discord user ID and the notification content.

If you choose Google or Kakao login, only the information needed to sign you in is exchanged with that service, and its own privacy policy also applies.

To look up stats, Apex names or UIDs are sent to the Apex Ban Tracker API. Member data such as your email is never sent.

To check the live status of a registered channel, its channel ID is sent to that platform's public API (CHZZK, SOOP, YouTube, Twitch). No other member data is sent. When a listed member goes live, we may post it (display name, channel, stream title, rank) to the alerts channel of the Site's Discord server.

5. Your rights

View your data, change your display name and password, and disconnect social logins on the My account page.
Delete your account at any time on the My account page; this also withdraws your consent.
For anything else, use the contact below.

6. Cookies and browser storage

Login cookie (apexkd_sid): a random value to keep you logged in. The server stores only its hash.
Language cookie (apexkd_lang): remembers the language you picked.
localStorage: favorites, recent searches, and overlay settings in this browser. Favorites and recent searches are cleared when you log out.
Visit statistics storage (apexkd.seen): stores only the last date this browser was counted. The browser itself decides whether this is its first visit today and sends just 0 or 1; no identifier is created.
Browsers with Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control turned on store nothing and are only added to the page view total.
No advertising cookies or cross-site tracking, and no third-party analytics services.

7. Security

Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2-SHA256 and a per-user salt.
Session tokens are stored only as hashes.
All traffic uses HTTPS, and login attempts are rate limited.
The database is not reachable directly from the internet.

8. Children

You must be 14 or older to create an account. Lookup features without an account are open to everyone.

9. Contact

Privacy officer: Song Deokgeun (송덕근), Site operator

10. Changes

We'll post changes on the Site 7 days before they take effect, or 30 days before for changes that are less favorable to members.

Effective date: 2026-10-18
