What Playfeed knows about you

New releases and Games like… work signed out, with every filter. Connecting Steam adds one thing: launches ranked against the games you actually play, instead of everything in release order.

Playfeed uses Steam's own sign-in (OpenID). You type your password on Steam's site, never here. We never see your password, and Steam never gives us your email address. What comes back is your SteamID — a public number.

With that number we ask Steam's public API for two things:

• Your profile: display name, avatar, profile URL.
• Your games and playtime — the same list anyone looking at a public Steam profile can see.

If your profile or game details are set to private, Steam returns nothing and we can't see them either. That's Steam's switch, not ours, and it keeps working after you connect.

• Your SteamID, display name, avatar and profile URL.
• Your games with playtime, refreshed when you sign in or press re-sync.
• The taste edits you make here: tags you added or muted, games you unticked, games you hid.
• A sign-in cookie, so you stay signed in. It holds your SteamID and nothing else.

That's the whole list. No email, no payment details, no friends list, no chat, no purchase history.

Rank new releases for you, and nothing else. Playfeed does not sell data, does not share it with game developers or advertisers, and does not take money for placing a game in your picks — the ranking is the product, so selling it would break it.

• The site runs on one rented server in Europe. The database sits on the same machine.
• The web server keeps access logs — IP address, page, time — for a couple of days, to spot crawlers and count visitors. They rotate out on their own.
• Page views are counted with Umami, which is cookieless and stores no personal data. Plenty of people block it; that's fine.
• Game data, images and prices come from Steam. Following a link to a store page puts you on Valve's site under their rules.

Your taste → Your data → Delete account. It removes your profile, your library, your playtime and every taste edit, immediately and for good. There's no soft delete, no thirty-day grace period and no copy kept for analytics.

Playfeed is one person's side project, not a company, and it isn't affiliated with Valve. If something here doesn't match what the site does, say so in the Discord and it gets fixed or corrected.
