Our Commitment to Data Protection by Design & Default

Last Updated: July 05, 2025

At Cleanops T7, we are committed to integrating privacy and data protection principles into the core design and operation of our Patch, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Article 25. This means:

• Data Minimisation: We only collect personal data that is absolutely necessary for the stated purposes of enhancing game stability, security, and privacy, primarily your pseudonymized IP address and your Steam ID. We avoid collecting superfluous information.
• Privacy-Enhancing Defaults: The Cleanops Patch is designed with privacy in mind. Features like IP-Spoofing are available to empower users to protect their information. While some features require temporary adjustment (e.g., IP-Spoofing for party invites), the intent is to provide robust privacy controls.
• Built-in Security: We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. To further protect user privacy, we pseudonymize IP addresses using a salted sha256 hash. This includes maintaining a secure and integrity-protected cheater blacklist, which is securely distributed to users for automatic cheater removal.
• Data Retention: We retain and process data collected through use of the Clean Ops Patch for only up to 3 days.
• Transparency: We strive to be transparent about what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
• Regular Review: We continuously review our data processing practices and security measures to ensure they remain effective and aligned with evolving privacy standards and legal requirements.

Our goal is to provide a fair, fun, and secure gaming experience, with your privacy at the forefront of our development philosophy.
