    And yet the devs actively watch World First twitch streams where ACT is prominently displayed and they do nothing. They only ban third party software if it's used to harass other players. If you used your brain, perhaps you'd have known that.
    Its all here but nobody ever read it, sadly i work treating data and i know what im talking about, if they do nothing when see soneone using a non contracted third party software its because noone ask to do otherwise, or everyone would be running a parser and talk about it in game -> https://square-enix-games.com/en_GB/documents/privacy

    PS: As I said i dont care what other ppl do whit the data of my chatacter on a game but other ppl may not.
    So if u use that system its better to upload just ur character info or/and the friends that allow you to do, you will be more save against a bann or the website itself being closed at the worst escenario.

    This is about how Square Enix handles the personal information you give them. Maybe I missed where it says your battle log information is private, personal, and protected information that's stored with your player character / account.

    Funny thing is, the most information FFLogs actually uses from FFXIV is its publicly available lodestone profiles. Profiles that are online by default and provides no information about the player behind the character that the public Lodestone profile does not. Everything else is publicly uploaded battle log information.

    So if u use that system its better to upload just ur character info or/and the friends that allow you to do, you will be more save against a bann or the website itself being closed at the worst escenario.
    FFLogs has been up for 2+ years. If SE was going to take legal action against it, it would have. There's been plenty of time for plenty of complaints to have been made, and many have been made.
