Who is responsible for your data

This site is run by Jake Michalowicz as an individual. For anything relating to your data โ€” access, correction, deletion, or a complaint โ€” contact:

What we get when you sign in

Signing in uses Steam's OpenID. Steam tells us your public SteamID64 and nothing else. We never see your Steam password, email address, or payment information, and we cannot act on your account.

What we store

  • Your SteamID64, public persona name, and avatar URL.
  • The list of app IDs in your Steam library and their playtime, cached so we don't re-query Steam on every page load.
  • The groups of SteamIDs behind each comparison link you create.
  • Public store metadata about games (name, categories, genres), which is not tied to any person.

All of this is already public on your Steam profile. We do not sell it or share it with anyone.

Cookies

We set one essential cookie to keep you signed in. If advertising is enabled on this site, Google AdSense may set additional cookies โ€” see how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to count page views and measure how quickly pages load. Both are cookieless: they set no identifiers, don't track you between sites, and don't build a profile of you. We see aggregate counts โ€” which pages are popular and how fast they render โ€” not individuals.

Your rights

If you're in the EU, UK, or a US state with a privacy law, you can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop processing it. You can also withdraw advertising consent at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

One thing worth stating plainly: if a friend added you to a comparison, we may hold your public profile and library even though you never signed in. You can delete it yourself either way.

Delete your data

This is immediate and self-service โ€” no email, no waiting on us.

Prefer not to sign in? Email jake.michalowicz@gmail.com with your SteamID64 and we'll do it by hand. We aim to respond within 30 days, though in practice it takes minutes.

What we keep, and why we keep it. After deleting everything else we retain your SteamID64 on a do-not-refetch list. Everything we hold is public Steam data that we fetch on demand, so without that list the next comparison including you would pull it all back within seconds and the deletion would quietly undo itself. It is the minimum needed to make your request stick: the ID and the date, nothing else. Signing in again clears the entry, because coming back is your decision to make.
