SteamDB Extension Privacy Policy

This privacy policy covers our browser extension. This extension needs the following permissions to work and may record information and set cookies as follows.

If the "Highlight owned and wished products on steamdb.info" option is enabled, the extension will request the following user data from the Steam store via https://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata/: wishlisted products, owned, followed, ignored products, and products in cart.

If the "Highlight family owned apps" option is enabled, the extension requests a list of apps available in your family library from Steam via IFamilyGroupsService/GetSharedLibraryApps API.

Information gathered is used by the extension to apply highlights on the site. The process is contained entirely within the user's browser and is not submitted to us or anyone else.

This option allows the following actions on steamdb.info to work by using the extension as a bridge to the Steam store: wishlisting products, ignoring products, following products, adding free licenses, and adding products to cart.

To prevent an excessive amount of requests to the Steam Store, the user data is cached in the user's browser's local storage and may be purged at any time.

If the "Skip age check gate" option is enabled, it will set the following cookies to predetermined values: wants_mature_content, lastagecheckage, birthtime. This allows the age gate page to be automatically skipped without sacrificing the user's privacy.

If the "Display current concurrent players and max peaks on product pages" or "Display last update on product pages" option are enabled, the extension will do a secure request to steamdb.info with the AppID (numeric ID) of the product you are viewing to get the current amount of players and the timestamp for the last depots update.

If the "Display the lowest recorded price on product pages" option is enabled, the extension will do a secure request to steamdb.info with the AppID (numeric ID) of the product you are viewing and the user's set or presumed currency according to Steam to get the lowest recorded price.

If the "Group achievements with data from Steam Hunters" option is enabled, the extension will do a secure request to steamdb.info with the AppID (numeric ID) of the product you are viewing to get achievement groupings.

These requests may be cached by Cloudflare and may not even be forwarded to the origin server at steamdb.info.

SteamDB.info may store the following information in its access logs: the URL the user is visiting, the user's IP address, browser user-agent, and referral URLs. The information is retained for a bare minimum, usually less than a month, and is automatically deleted. These logs may be used to detect abuse and to improve service.

SteamDB does not sell your data, share it with third parties, or use it for any other purposes except for those recorded here.

A separate SteamDB privacy policy is available here, and you may read Cloudflare's privacy policy here. Steam's privacy policy is available on the Steam homepage.

The SteamDB extension is open source, and you may review the code at your leisure at https://github.com/SteamDatabase/BrowserExtension
