Privacy Policy

Last updated 22 August 2026

This policy explains what personal data CSHints (“we”) collects, why, and your rights over it. By using the site you agree to this policy.

Data we collect

Account data — if you sign in with Steam, your Steam ID and public Steam profile (name, avatar); for editorial accounts, an email address and display name. If you enter giveaways, the Steam trade URL you save.
Usage analytics — with your consent, anonymous page-view data: the pages visited, timestamps, and a random visitor identifier stored in your browser. This is not linked to your identity and is used only in aggregate.
Cookies — essential cookies to keep you signed in and to run the access gate; an optional analytics preference you set via the consent banner.

How we use it

To provide the site, your account, and giveaway entries.
To understand usage and improve the site (analytics, only with consent).
To contact giveaway winners so a prize can be sent to the trade link you provided.

Legal basis

We process account data to perform the service you request, usage analytics on the basis of your consent, and essential cookies as strictly necessary to run the site.

Sharing

We do not sell your data. Sign-in uses Steam (Valve) via OpenID. Skin prices are fetched from third-party market APIs using only item names — never your personal data. We may disclose data where required by law.

Retention

Account data is kept while your account exists. Analytics data is retained only in aggregate for a limited period. You can ask us to delete your account and associated data.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to withdraw analytics consent at any time (clear the choice in your browser), and to object to processing. To exercise these, contact us through the site.
