Are you permitted to display this information by the publisher and developers?
How did you obtain this information?
Why is my information on there?
Are you aware of the privacy laws?
I don't want my personal details to be public.
Also how come it displays the last played legend as an overall indicator for my performances? And how can you determine skill based on kills to level ratio?
Upon viewing my profile the adjacent Legend was Gibraltar my least played legend determining my skill would be 0.70.
Seems awfully inaccurate and a pointless thing to add to the overall UI, unless you're adding up all legend kills.
LOL
Sounds like you have no idea how game API's work. Every online game you play, a third party site can access the stats and display them.

Do I have to?
The current rating system is a joke anyway.
Besides that, if a person requests that his or her personal information gets removed the involved parties are inclined to comply as stated in the new privacy law.
I just find it weird that 3rd parties have full access to player data.
That's just my opinion.- 6 years ago
Player stats don't really constitute personal/private information.. Nothing that is shown can be used maliciously, and is basically public information. Once Respawn has a working API for sites to access, there will be more than just kills and level available. Most multiplayer games have APIs that display these types of stats, they don't need your permission. It's not something that should require permission in the first place.

@MartenPhilip Regarding to the GDPR. Your game data does not conclude any personal information that is able to identify you as person in real life. Also if I am not mistaken by creating an account on Origin or playing one of their games. It most likely has something in their privacy statement which you most likely agree blindly to, that 3rd-parties are able to read out game data.
So websites like this do not have to ask for your consent nor need to remove your game data.

Yeah it's the same with any API.
To be honest, it sounds like that guys panicking that people will find out his stats after he's been on here giving large about "skill".
I'm not getting into the stat chasing though. It ends up ruining games for me by making me overly competitive.
Nice site and UI though. Props
