This guide will address data transparency in the PSN community. We, at PSNTools.com, strive to provide clear and accurate information regarding the data you share with us. Unlike other third-party tools, our goal is to ensure that users are well-informed about the potential data privacy implications when using various tools within the PSN community.
Transparency Issues in the PSN Community
Over the years, various tools have emerged in the PSN community, promising perks like premium avatars, modded profile backgrounds, and custom real names in exchange for user details.
Unfortunately, many of these tools lack transparency regarding the extent of data access they possess.
Examples of these tools include:
- PSN Avatar Adder (ANY VERSION FOUND ON YOUTUBE → download to your PC)
- PSN Avatar Adder (ANY VERSION FOUND ON DISCORD → i.e copy-paste cookies)
- PSNitro (Item Adder/Remover, Cart Checkout/Report → i.e copy-paste cookies)
In response, our site ensures explicit clarity regarding the personal data that you share with us (PSNTools). Be aware of third-party tools (any Avatar Adder on YouTube), Discord bots, or Random PSN tools. When you share associated tokens or cookies with these tools, they will have the same access WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT, as detailed below.
Data Clarity with PSNTools
To increase transparency (not only for PSNTools but for similar tools as well), we've developed a comprehensive Cookie Access Table (pdccws_p and npsso). This outlines the information available when sharing the pdccws_p and npsso cookie with PSNTools, Discord bots, 'avatar tools,' or any other third-party sites/tools.
Data Access Tables and Cookies
By sharing any of the following cookies with PSNTools, Discord bots, certain 'avatar tools,' or any third-party sites/tools, you grant immediate access to the following details as shown in the table.
⚠️ A NPSOO cookie can be used to obtain a pdccws_p cookie and not vice-versa.Cookie Access Table: npsso
