getting kicked from end game pfs as soon as I join?

Sorry to disappoint you, but Dzian Cielo isn't an online identifier. It's actually an application of pseudonymisation, meaning the game and all interactions with you inside the game are made solely through that pseudonym and nothing ingame links that pseudonym to your real life identity. That's even why any non-direct messaging is done through Mogmail instead of going to your email account associated with your SE account. All emails regarding the game are handled exclusively by SE and there's no way ingame to discern that email account bar you personally telling someone the address.

So no, parsing your portion of the shared battle logs isn't a violation of GDPR because there's no way to connect that information to your real life identity. GDPR would only be relevant to your online identity as an XIV player, if someone besides SE staff could link it to your real life identity.

Process:

You create an account to construct your Avatar.
You then create your name.
Your name, your avatar is under your account.

If you wish to look up my name, Opal Valentine, it's easy as using the search Bar.

The difference between using tools under SE and tools on a third party site is one is under legal obligations, while others is a risk ala without legal terms and obligations.

The purpose of the Parser is to gauge your performance, your progress and your overall output. Using it to build a party, exempt others on data outside first party tools is against ToS.

You can still be "Dox" by anyone through this third party tool.

I've read everyone's responses and not one has stayed on course of the OP's inquiry. Only one player here spoke on the repercussions of using this Log and everyone speaks on segregation.

If I hide my log, it's my information I wish to hide. If anyone were to kick me for it or ask and I refuse to let them know of it, that's harassment and I have that right to report you. If you were to place on your PF "I parse at this percentile. I have my proof; please show yours", then you're at LEAST being honest. Granted, I will avoid you like a plague, but I won't go after you for it.

On the other hand, even having high damage output doesn't guarantee a clear especially if you're in a matched group. There are console players that don't even use this, and other numeral contributing factors on the accuracy of the logs.

So no, Dzian Cielo IS an online identifier. If you, like every other player in this game, have a Facebook page based on your character, an Instagram, a Twitter, it can definitely lead to your personal information that anyone and everyone can find.

And it is definitely against violation of GDPR. It not only has anything to do with real-life identity, but of the intent of the use of a ToS-breaking third party tool.

Every other player in this game as a social media account for their character? News to me

Do virtual characters have rights? Sorry, but I think if you leave enough information online to relate your in game character's social media profile with your real life person - that'd be your own stupidity. That's a virtual profile you are creating/maintaining of your own will. A virtual profile in and of itself doesn't have any personal data. Facebook may be under obligation to protect the personal information you have given them, but they're not responsible for what you post online.
