SE: Please copyright takedown FFLogs.

In theory yes, but that law already considers the IP as personal data. The Problem is the whole thing is still a mess and needs one or two more law cases. And A Guild Member from me might know me in real live so with my player name he can access the information how good or bad I play in the game. So with just my ingame name a friend can now know how good or bad I play in the game. Or for example an Ex-wife or Ex-boyfriend could do the same thing just by knowing your in game name. Or a coworker that than tells my boss that X did not work and played instead the last three days the new raid in ff14. Not to mention that you are not even easily allowed to collect data from underaged persons. That aside nobody forbids you to use in Final Fantasy 14 your real name. It is uncommon to do that and stupid, but someone could do that. That aside do not misunderstand me here, a judge could call that this is all totally fine, but as far I am aware right now there was not a case like that so far.

And the fflogs doesnt show to anyone your IP adress.
It may be the concern if they are protecting it enough on their side, however you cant get a data from someone on your dungeon you did yesterday and identify his real life person through collected by fflogs data, there is not a chance of it, besides your IP adress there is nothing to protect here.
A member of your guild may know you, but the law does not apply to the individuals but to the companies that holds your personal data.
If that would be the case, then we all would have to be anonymous without nicknames, because X person could know our IRL identity and tell everyone around about us.

Actually your username already is a help for someone. That is where the whole law thing may catch. And as said before there are not much example cases but someone could use these and the IP here was just an example. For example where did I allow FFlogs to colelct information from me includeinga timnestamp they must get at least that I was at that time in Dungeon X? It is a time Information about may they are not allowed to have without my agreement.

So that we are on the same page here:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-to...rsonal-data_en

And:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-to...nsent-valid_en

The main point and the one that is the most vague is this paragraph:
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data.

Personal data that has been de-identified, encrypted or pseudonymised but can be used to re-identify a person remains personal data and falls within the scope of the law.
