What we collect

MySteamStats displays data from the official Steam Web API for profiles that are set to public on Steam. When you look up a profile, we fetch and briefly cache that public data (profile name, avatar, game list, playtime, badges, ban status, inventory contents) to render the page.

If you sign in

Signing in uses Steam's OpenID service. We receive only your SteamID64; we never see your Steam username or password. When you sign in we create an account keyed to that SteamID and begin storing periodic snapshots of your per-game playtime totals. Those snapshots are what power your playtime heatmap. You can stop tracking and request deletion at any time by contacting us.

Play sessions

For every profile we track, we check every few minutes which game Steam shows it playing, the same “In-Game” status Steam shows anyone. That becomes a record of play sessions (game, start and end time). Your sessions are only ever shown to you, when you're signed in. Steam shows no game for profiles set to Invisible or with private game details, so we record none for them.

Friends and rivals

If your Steam friends list is public, we use it to show you how long you and each friend were in the same game at the same time. That list is only shown to you. Pro members can follow up to three public profiles as rivals; a rival sees nothing about who follows them.

Achievements

For tracked profiles we store how many achievements were unlocked in each game and on which day, from the unlock dates Steam makes public, to chart your achievement history.

If you subscribe

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card details. We store your Stripe customer ID, subscription status and any trial end date so we know which features to enable. Pro members can download everything we've recorded for them from Settings.

What we don't do

We don't sell your data, we don't fetch data for profiles nobody asked about, and we only display what Steam already makes public. All data is presented as is, without warranty. If your Steam profile is private, we show nothing.

Cookies

One session cookie keeps you signed in. No third-party ad trackers.
