Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Public Steam data. For a profile someone looks up or signs in with: the Steam ID, display name and avatar, the list of owned games with their playtime, and unlocked achievements. We read this from Valve's public Steam Web API, and only while the profile's game details are public. We never see or store your Steam password.
• Daily playtime snapshots. Once a day we save each tracked game's total playtime, so the site can show how much you played on each day.
• Email address (optional). Only if you claim your profile. We use it to confirm the claim and to send the playtime emails described below.
• Technical data. Your IP address is used briefly to rate-limit requests, and our hosting and CDN keep standard server logs for security.

Cookies and local storage

• Sign-in cookie. After you sign in through Steam, a cookie keeps you signed in. It holds no password.
• Local storage. Your browser stores your language choice and whether you still have a profile claim to finish. This stays on your device.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used (pages visited, device type, rough location). Google sets its own cookies for this.
• Advertising. We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google Ads Settings, and read how Google uses data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

How we use it

• To show the playtime dashboard, charts, streaks and achievement history.
• To send a one-off "your data is ready" email and a weekly playtime recap to claimed profiles. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• To keep the service running and protect it from abuse.

We do not sell your personal data.

Who can see a dashboard

A dashboard is built only from data Steam already shows publicly, so anyone who knows a Steam ID or profile link can open it, just like the Steam profile itself. Making your Steam game details private stops us from reading new data. A profile that is unclaimed and stays private is deleted automatically.

Services that process data for us

• Valve (Steam Web API): the source of the profile, game and achievement data.
• Cloudflare: content delivery and protection against attacks.
• Oracle Cloud: hosts our servers and database.
• Brevo: sends our emails.
• Google: Analytics and AdSense, as described above.

How long we keep it

Data for profiles nobody returns to is deleted automatically after a period of inactivity. Claimed profiles are kept until their owner asks for deletion. Database backups age out on their own within about a month.

Your rights and deleting your data

You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about your profile. Email [email protected] with your Steam profile link. Deletion removes your profile, playtime history, achievements, email address and share image. To stop emails only, use the unsubscribe link in any email.

Children
