Privacy Policy
Last updated November 14, 2026
Roster Vault keeps personal data to a minimum. There is no tracking, no analytics, no advertising and no cookie banner, because we only use what the site needs to work.

The controller under the GDPR is:

Visiting the site
When you open a page, your browser sends your IP address, the page requested, the time and technical details such as the browser type. The server needs these to deliver the page.
- To stop abuse, the server counts requests per IP address. The count is held in memory for one minute and never written to disk.
- Roster Vault does not store IP addresses in its database.
- The site and its database are hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany).
- Uploaded files are stored in Hetzner Object Storage in Falkenstein, Germany.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in running a secure website.
Signing in with Discord or Google
You can browse, download and import without an account. To upload, rate, comment or report, you sign in with Discord or Google. We then receive and store:
- your account ID at Discord or Google,
- your display name and the address of your profile picture,
- your email address.
Your name and picture appear next to your uploads and comments. Your email address is never shown publicly; we use it only to contact you about your account or your uploads. We update name, picture and email each time you sign in.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, providing the account you asked for. Discord and Google process the sign-in under their own privacy policies: Discord, Google.
Profile pictures
Profile pictures are loaded directly from Discord (cdn.discordapp.com) or Google (googleusercontent.com). Your browser connects to their servers for this and sends them your IP address, which can include a transfer to the USA. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our interest in showing who shared a file.
What you publish
- Uploads, their files, descriptions, tags and versions are public and linked to your name.
- Comments are public and linked to your name.
- Ratings are stored with your account; only the average is shown.
- Reports are seen only by the moderators.
- Download counts are plain numbers; we do not record who downloaded a file.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, publishing what you chose to share.
Cookies and local storage
We use only what the site needs to work, so no consent is required (§ 25 (2) TDDDG):
nuxt-session: keeps you signed in, encrypted, until you sign out or close the browser.nuxt-auth-*: protects the sign-in against forgery, deleted after at most 10 minutes.auth_redirect: remembers the page to return to after sign-in, deleted after at most 5 minutes.nuxt-color-mode(local storage): remembers light or dark mode if you switch it.
ZenGM and external links
- When you import a file by URL, the ZenGM game in your browser loads it from Roster Vault. We do not send anything to ZenGM.
- Some uploads link to files on other sites. Once you follow such a link, that site's privacy policy applies.
How long we keep data
- Account data: until your account is deleted.
- Uploads and comments: until you or a moderator delete them, at the latest with your account.
- Deleting your account deletes your uploads with their files, your ratings, comments and reports.
- Files that were uploaded but never published are deleted after about an hour.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- access the data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
- have it corrected (Art. 16) or deleted (Art. 17),
- restrict its processing (Art. 18) and receive it in a portable format (Art. 20),
- object to processing based on our legitimate interest (Art. 21),
- lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77).
