    Yea, I'd agree the GDPR is not applicable to this situation. It's already a stretch to claim battlelog data as some sort of personal data equivalent to your bank account, social security, driver's license, legal name, address, credit card.. etc etc. These are all tangible things in real life. I can't really see how the damage you dealt to a video game boss would fall into this purview. Furthermore, GDPR seems to place concern on how companies use, store, secure the personal data we as consumers have given them, and solidifies our rights to have that personal information removed or modified.

    An aside, regarding FFLOGS in particular. Nobody is submitting or sharing your personal information with them. They use publicly available Lodestone data to try and assign the uploaded battlelog to a matching character. For example, I have 2 characters with the same name on different servers. My logs get mixed up between them because I don't personally upload. So it uses Lodestone data to find a match using the person who uploaded it's server as a tiebreaker. More specifically, my alt is on Lamia, but the people I run with on my alt are on Leviathan so when they upload it uses Leviathan as the tie-breaking server. FFLOGs does not possess the ability to actually match your character up correctly, so obviously they aren't using any sort of personal data.
