What SteamPeaks stores about you, and what it never sees.

Updated 3 Sep 2026

What we store

  • When you sign in through Steam, the SteamID64, public display name and avatar URL that Steam OpenID returns; never a password.
  • Your watchlist, alert rules, alert deliveries and channel settings.
  • Public profile snapshots for the calculator: the games list with hours, the public wishlist and the profile name, refreshed at most every fifteen minutes and kept for thirty days after the last look-up.

Searches

When a search leads you to a game, the words you typed are counted so the empty search box can offer what people are looking for. Only the text is kept, lower-cased and with the hour it happened in, and only when it matched a game. Nothing identifies who searched — not an account, not a cookie, not an address — so the table cannot be turned back into one person’s history by anyone, including us. Searches that go nowhere are never recorded.

Calculator

The calculator reads only what Steam publishes publicly for a profile. If game details are private, nothing beyond the profile name and avatar is read. Anyone can look up a public profile, just as on Steam itself.

Cookies

Five first-party cookies remember your sign-in, your display name for the header, your theme and your currency; none of them is needed to read the site. Google Analytics sets two more to count visits. No advertising identifiers, and nothing is sold or shared with data brokers. The cookie page lists every one with its lifetime.

Deleting your data

Signing out keeps your rules for next time; deleting the account from the account page removes the user row and everything attached to it within a day.
