WoT Replay Portal – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

This page explains what personal data WoT Replay Portal (replays.hjundaj.com, "the portal", "we") collects, why, and what choices you have. We collect only what the portal needs to work and to stay safe.

Who runs the portal

The portal is run by hjundaj, based in Ireland, who also runs hjundaj.com and is the data controller for the processing described here.

Contact: replays@hjundaj.com.

Browsing

You can browse and download replays without an account.

• Server logs and security. Our hosting provider and the portal record IP addresses, browser type and the pages requested, to keep the portal running and protect it from attacks. To count views and downloads of each replay only once per visitor, the portal also keeps a short one-way code made from your IP address and browser type in memory for 6 hours; it is never saved to disk and cannot be turned back into your address. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure service and in honest view counts (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Cookies and consent. On your first visit a consent message (provided by Google) asks whether you agree to cookies for advertising and statistics. You can accept, reject or choose in detail, and change your choice at any time with the "Privacy and cookie settings" link. If you reject, those cookies are not set. Cookies that are strictly necessary (your consent choice, staying signed in, and during the test phase the note that you entered the test password, kept for 30 days) need no consent.
• Statistics (Google Analytics). With your consent we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to see which pages and replays are popular: pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived. IP addresses are not stored by Google Analytics 4. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).
• Advertising (Google AdSense). The portal shows ads through Google AdSense, provided by Google Ireland Limited, to cover running costs. With your consent, Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your interests and to measure ads. Without consent, Google may still show limited, non-personalised ads that use cookies only for purposes such as fraud prevention where the law allows. More: How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and Google Ad Settings. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)); for limited ads and fraud prevention, our legitimate interest in funding the portal (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• Embedded YouTube videos are loaded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). When you play one, YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies, as if you visited YouTube directly.

Signing in with Wargaming

To upload replays you sign in with your Wargaming account on Wargaming's own page. We never see your password. Wargaming sends us your account ID and nickname, which we store together with your server region (EU, NA or Asia) and the date of your last sign-in. The temporary access key from Wargaming is used only to confirm your sign-in and is not kept.

A strictly necessary cookie keeps you signed in. It needs no consent and is deleted when you sign out or after 30 days.

Wargaming's own privacy policy applies to the sign-in on its page.

Legal basis: providing the service you asked for under our Terms (Art. 6(1)(b)).

Uploaded replays

• The replay file and the data read from it: battle date, map, tanks, results, and the nicknames and clans of all players in the battle. This is the same in-game data every player in that battle can see. It is shown on the portal and the file can be downloaded by anyone.
• Your title and description, and which account uploaded the replay and when.
• Your confirmations (the required checkboxes: Terms, permission for videos, no cheats), with date and account, so we can show what was agreed.
• If a video is made from the replay, it is published on the @hjundaj_gaming YouTube channel with the nickname of the player in the replay. YouTube's privacy policy applies to the channel.

Legal basis: our Terms with the uploader (Art. 6(1)(b)); for the other players named in a replay, our legitimate interest in running a replay archive and a video channel (Art. 6(1)(f)). Any player can ask us to remove their nickname from a replay or a video (see "Your rights").

Optional email address

You may add an email address to be told when a video is made from your replay. We use it only for that and never for marketing. You can remove it at any time in "My replays".

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Moderation

Moderators see the uploader's nickname, titles and descriptions. If an account is blocked, we keep the account ID and the reason, so the block can be enforced.

Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the portal free of abuse (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Who processes the data

• GoDaddy (hosting and the portal's email account, data centre in Europe).
• Google Ireland Limited (Google Analytics and AdSense, with your consent).
• Our own backup storage in Ireland, where copies of replays are kept.
• Wargaming for sign-in, and Google (YouTube) for published videos, each under its own privacy policy.

Notification emails are sent from the portal's own address (replays@hjundaj.com) through our hosting provider's mail service (GoDaddy).

Google may process data in the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep data

• Account data: until you delete your account, or 2 years after your last sign-in, whichever comes first.
• Replays: until you delete them, or until they are archived or removed under the replay limit in our Terms.
• Videos: until you ask for removal; removed within 30 days of the request.
• Email address: until you remove it or delete your account.
• Google Analytics data: 14 months, then deleted automatically.
• Confirmations (checkboxes): as long as the replay or the video based on it exists.
• Server and security logs: a limited period set by the hosting provider and the portal, at most 90 days.

Age

Uploading is for people aged 16 or older, or younger people with the permission of a parent or guardian.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. You can delete your replays and your account in the portal, or contact us at the address above.

You also have the right to complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie) or to the data protection authority in your own country.

Changes

We may update this policy when the portal changes. The date at the top shows the last update.
