PII Removal
Before a match is published, we remove or change these values, because they could identify a player.
| Where | What we do |
|---|---|
player_personal.name, clan_tag | Replaced with redacted. |
player_name.name_new, name_old | Replaced with redacted. |
player_personal.steam_id | Replaced with a letter per player (A, B, C, …) in order of first appearance. The letters restart each match. |
player_chat.text | Replaced with redacted. |
player_status.ping | Set to 0. |
player_info.wins, rank_update.win_count | Values above 2500 are published as 2501. |
header.sharecode, demo_id | Replaced with redacted. |
The csds index object | sharecode, demoId and metadata.bucket are replaced with redacted, internal job ids with the match's public id, and matchDate is cut to the minute. |
In the index object, each changed column's origin ends in -redacted or
-capped.
