On your first visit, an anonymous client ID is generated for your environment and the server issues a signed access token. They are used to confirm participation and to store and synchronize profile, progress, and deck data.
If you delete browser site data (local storage), use private browsing, or use a different browser or device, you may lose access to the same data. At this time, there is no feature for transferring open-participation data to another browser or device.
Do not share the anonymous client ID, signed access token, or other internal information with anyone else.

Access may be suspended or revoked without prior notice if a violation or serious disruption to test operations is confirmed.
6. Match History and Information Visibility
Participants may be able to view in-game display names, match results, decks used, match histories, and replays, including those of other participants, from in-game lists. Do not use a name that readily identifies you or violates public order and standards of decency as your in-game display name.
