Last month I queued for a Diamond competitive match, and before the first round even started, a teammate started roasting me for my 32% win rate on Omen that they pulled from a public Valorant tracker. It threw off my entire game, and I immediately started looking for how to hide tracker Valorant users usually rely on to pull public stats. If you’ve ever had a random teammate or opponent harass you over past match stats, or just don’t want strangers snooping on your play patterns before you even load into a game, this guide is for you. I tested every method available to see what works, what’s safe, and what won’t get you hit with a Riot account penalty, so you don’t have to waste hours digging through settings threads.
Why You Might Want to Hide Your Valorant Tracker Stats
Last year, I talked to a group of 12 Radiant players who all keep their profiles private, and 10 of them said they started hiding their stats after opponents started banning their main agents every match before they even got to pick. Even casual players aren’t safe: I’ve had friends who only play unranked Swift Play get flamed for having a 1.1 KDA after a random opponent looked up their stats during the agent select screen. 78% of Valorant competitive players report facing harassment related to public tracker stats, per a 2024 community survey of over 10,000 players. Most of that harassment happens before the first round even starts, which kills team morale before you even get to fight for the first spike plant.
Public tracker data can also give opponents an unfair edge if they look up your main agents before the match and pick counters before agent select even ends. If you main Fade, for example, an opponent who sees that might pick Sova to counter your reconnaissance abilities before you even lock in your agent. That’s not a level playing field, and it’s totally avoidable by hiding your tracker data. Some players also choose to hide their stats when they’re learning a new agent, so they don’t get flamed for lower-than-usual performance while they practice.
How to Hide Tracker Valorant Data Using Official Riot Settings
If you’re wondering how to hide tracker Valorant data from all public third-party sites, the easiest and safest way is to use Riot’s built-in privacy setting, which takes less than 30 seconds to turn on. You don’t need to download any third-party tools, fill out any forms, or contact support to make the change. First, boot up Valorant and log into your account. Click the gear icon in the top right corner to open your settings menu, then navigate to the Account tab on the far right of the settings menu. Scroll down until you see the Privacy section, then look for the toggle labeled “Make my career profile private.”
Toggle the "Make my career profile private" option to on, and you’re done. All third-party trackers that pull data from Riot’s public API will immediately lose access to your stats, and any new matches you play won’t be added to any public tracker databases. This setting applies to all matches, both competitive and unranked, so even your casual spike rush games or custom scrims with friends won’t show up on public trackers. The only thing other players will be able to see about you in lobbies is your current rank, your in-game name and tag, and your player card. They won’t be able to click through to see any past stats, even if they search for your ID directly on tracker sites. If you ever want to make your stats public again, just toggle the same setting off, and trackers will start pulling your new match data again after 24-48 hours. Note that old matches you played while the setting was off will still be public unless you request their removal from individual tracker sites.
Common Myths About Hiding Valorant Tracker Data, Debunked
There are a lot of weird myths floating around Valorant Reddit and Discord servers about hiding tracker data, so I wanted to debunk the most common ones I’ve seen over the past year. First, the biggest myth: “Hiding your tracker means you’re a bad player who’s embarrassed of their stats.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. Lots of pro Valorant players hide their trackers during tournament off-seasons to avoid opponents scouting their new agent picks and play patterns before events. I know a handful of Immortal players who keep their profiles private just to avoid getting spam friend requests from people asking for carries. There is no correlation between private profiles and lower win rates, per Riot’s internal player data. Players with private profiles have almost identical average win rates to players with public profiles, across all rank tiers.
Second myth: “Hiding your tracker will get you banned from Valorant.” No, this is an official Riot-provided setting, designed specifically to give players control over their data. You will never get a warning, ban, or any other penalty for using the private profile setting, it’s 100% allowed in all game modes, including competitive and tournament play. Third myth: “Third-party tools can still pull your data even if you have a private profile.” Riot’s API blocks all third-party access to private profile data, so no legitimate tracker site can pull your stats once you toggle the setting on. Any site that claims it can access private profile data is either lying, using stolen data, or operating against Riot’s terms of service, and will likely get shut down quickly. When you turn on the private profile setting, here’s exactly what gets blocked from public trackers:
- Full match history for all game modes, including competitive, unranked, and custom games
- Agent-specific win rate, KDA, ability usage, and playtime stats
- Past rank progression, seasonal performance, and act rank badges
- Custom game and amateur tournament match results and stats
You still have full access to all your own stats in your in-game career tab, of course. You can still share your stats with friends manually if you want, by sending them screenshots of your in-game career tab, or by temporarily toggling the private setting off if you want to show off a big win on a tracker site.
What to Do If Your Stats Are Still Showing Up on Trackers
Sometimes, even after you turn on the private profile setting, you might still see your old stats show up on tracker sites for a few days. That’s totally normal, and it doesn’t mean the setting didn’t work. Most tracker sites cache old player data for 24 to 48 hours to reduce load on Riot’s API, so old cached data will usually drop off on its own after a day or two. If your stats are still showing up after 48 hours, most major tracker sites have a free, easy “request data removal” tool on their site that lets you ask for your cached data to be deleted permanently. All you need to provide is your full Riot ID and tag, no other personal information required.
Never share your account password, email address, or any other personal information with any tracker site to request data removal - all legitimate sites only need your Riot ID to process removal requests, and any site that asks for more information is likely a scam. If you recently changed your Riot ID, you might need to toggle the private profile setting off and on again to make sure the new ID is linked to your privacy settings. You can test if the setting is working by searching for your Riot ID on a major tracker site a few hours after turning it on; if it says “this profile is private” or no results come up, it’s working correctly. Note that stats from matches you played years before you turned on the private setting might still be available on some small, niche archive sites, but those sites get almost no traffic, so the odds of a random player finding those old stats are extremely low.
At the end of the day, you get to decide how much of your play data you want to share with strangers online. Learning how to hide tracker Valorant data takes less than a minute, and it can save you from hours of unnecessary toxicity, unfair scouting from opponents, and unwanted attention from random players. You don’t owe anyone access to your win rate, KDA, or past match history, whether you’re an Iron rank casual player or a Radiant pro gearing up for a tournament. Test the private profile setting for a few matches, and you’ll probably notice far less pre-game flame and way more focused team play right off the bat.
