Privacy

Messages and bug reports, including optional screenshots, are stored with your account and are accessible to you and RaidSignal administrators. Do not include passwords or payment details.

Community chat is public: your username, message and posting time can be seen by visitors. Report reasons are visible to administrators. Moderators may remove messages or temporarily pause chat access. Contact support@raidsignal.com with questions about your community data.

Every page you open is recorded once: the address, where you came from, whether you are on a phone or a desktop, and how long the page took to build. This is how the site knows which keys and maps people actually use.

Your IP address and browser identification are not stored. They are combined into a one-way fingerprint, which cannot be turned back into either, and that fingerprint is what counts you as one visitor rather than five. These records are deleted after 400 days.

An account holds your name, username, e-mail address and, if you signed in with Google, the picture and account identifier Google gives us. Your password, when you have one, is stored only as a hash and cannot be read back by anyone, including us.

The site records your latest activity time and IP address for account administration and security. Administrators can see the approximate country of that address, calculated locally on our server. Your IP is not sent to a geolocation service. No city or precise location is calculated; a VPN may change the country shown.

Signing in with Google gives RaidSignal your name, e-mail address and profile picture. Nothing else, and nothing is written back to your Google account.

If you choose to link a YouTube membership, and only then, the site reads which channel is yours and whether you are a member of dGame. It reads no videos, no subscriptions, no history and no comments. You can withdraw this at any time from your Google account settings, and the site keeps working without it.

Pages outside the maps section may carry Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to choose which advertisements to show, and may use what you have visited previously to make them relevant.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before any of that happens, and refusing it is a single click. Rejecting optional cookies pauses Google ad requests on this site. Personalization choices are managed separately in Google’s consent message, where available.

Members and Sherpas see no advertising anywhere on the site.

Two cookies are needed for the site to work at all: one keeps you signed in, the other stops forms being submitted from somebody else’s page. Neither follows you anywhere and neither can be turned off without breaking the site.

Measurement and advertising cookies are separate and belong to Google rather than to us. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland none of them is written until you answer the consent banner.

Every cookie the site can set is listed by name, purpose and duration on the cookie policy page.

Nobody buys this data and nobody is sold it. Three companies handle it because they have to: Hetzner, where the server lives, in Finland; Cloudflare, which passes traffic through and blocks attacks; and Google, for sign-in and advertising.

Game data — prices, items, traders, maps — comes from tarkov.dev. Nothing about you is ever sent there.

You can ask for a copy of everything stored about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for the account and its history to be deleted. Deletion is permanent and takes effect within thirty days.

If you think this site is handling your data badly, you can complain to your national data protection authority. In Romania that is the ANSPDCP.
