This page explains our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Data and other information related to your use of the GamesGraph Service.
By using GamesGraph, the browser extension, and any related tools and services we operate, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
GamesGraph (referred to in this Privacy Policy as "we", "us" or "our") is a personal project operated by an individual. For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, this individual is the data controller responsible for the processing of your Personal Data described in this policy.
You can contact the data controller using the details set out in the Contact Us section below.
GamesGraph ("we", "us" or "our") refers to the owner and operators of this Service.
Service refers to the GamesGraph website, the GamesGraph browser extension, and any related tools and services we operate.
Personal Data is data about a living individual who can be identified from those data (or from those and other information either in our possession or which we may reasonably obtain). Personal data can be identifiers such as your email address, or internal ID numbers that exist solely within our system.
Usage Data is data collected automatically by the Service or by third-party services integrated in it. This can include technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages that you visit, but also your activity within the Service, such as logged-in actions and proceeding through the Discovery Queue.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help the Service function and improve your experience.
Browser Extension refers to the software package that users can optionally install on their preferred web browser to enhance the functionality of the Service.
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
When you register with GamesGraph, you can create an account without providing an email address. If you choose to provide an email address, it's used for account verification and for sending important updates related to the Service. You may optionally provide a display name, profile picture, description and background image, which are used to personalize your experience and may be displayed to other users if you choose to share your profile.
The core functionality of GamesGraph relies on collecting and processing data about the games you own, want to play, and have interacted with. This includes:
We use this data to provide personalized recommendations, ranking and filtering of games, and other features of the Service.
We may collect information automatically whenever you visit or use the Service. This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages you visit, the time and date of your visit, your actions within the Service (such as what you click on), the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
To keep the Service running reliably and to troubleshoot problems, our servers record aggregated technical information such as page views, error messages and basic timing data. These logs are used to understand how the Service is performing and to protect it from abuse. They are not used to build marketing profiles or to track you across different websites, and they are automatically rotated and deleted after a limited period as described in the Data Retention section.
If you choose to enable optional cookies, we may also use Microsoft Clarity to collect more detailed session analytics (for example how you scroll and click on pages) so we can see which parts of the interface are working well and which are confusing. This is described in more detail in the Cookies and Similar Technologies section.
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service and to understand how it is used.
We distinguish between:
When you first visit GamesGraph, we show you a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline optional cookies. Your choice is stored and honoured on subsequent visits, and you can change it at any time from your account settings (for example under Settings → Privacy → Data Control → Reset Cookie Consent) or by adjusting your browser settings.
Where we embed content from third parties such as YouTube, those providers may set their own cookies when you view or play that content. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
The GamesGraph browser extension interacts with supported websites (such as steampowered.com) to enhance your experience and synchronize data with the GamesGraph Service. The extension may send information such as:
The extension only communicates with the GamesGraph Service and does not send data to third-party analytics or advertising platforms. You can disable or remove the extension at any time using your browser's extension management tools.
To provide some of its features, the Service interacts with third-party services for game-related data:
With the exception of Steam, none of these services receive any of your Personal Data. They are used solely as data sources to retrieve publicly available information about games.
GamesGraph uses the collected data for various purposes, including:
A core feature of GamesGraph is providing personalized recommendations and ranking lists of games based on your preferences and activity. To do this, we combine information such as your ratings, the games in your library and wishlist, your playtime where available, the tags and filters you use, and how you interact with the Service (for example progressing through the discovery queue) to infer a "taste profile" and to order games in a way that is more likely to be relevant to you.
This type of processing may be considered profiling under certain data protection laws because it involves using your Personal Data to evaluate personal preferences and predict what you may enjoy. However, it does not produce legal or similarly significant effects for you: it is only used to influence how games are sorted and recommended within the Service. It does not affect your ability to use the Service, access your account, or make purchases on third-party stores.
You can influence how your data is used for recommendations by adjusting the settings and filters within the Service, including preference sliders (such as popularity and release date) and sorting options. If you are located in the EEA, the United Kingdom or another region with similar data protection laws, you also have the right to object to this type of processing or to ask us to limit it, as described in the Your Rights section above. If you wish to exercise these rights in relation to recommendations and profiling, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or another region with similar data protection laws, GamesGraph's processing of your Personal Data is based on one or more of the following legal grounds:
We do not sell your Personal Data.
We may share your information with third parties only in the following situations:
We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to provide the Service to you, to maintain your account and game library, to comply with our legal obligations and to resolve disputes, unless a longer or shorter retention period is required or permitted by law.
In practice, most of your account-related data (such as your email address, library contents, wishlists, playlists, reviews, follows and settings) is kept for as long as you maintain an account with us. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize this information in our active databases within a reasonable period of time, subject to any data we may be required to keep for legal or security reasons.
To protect against accidental loss or corruption of data, we maintain automatic system backups. These include encrypted copies of the database and limited copies of certain files that the Service needs to operate (such as profile images and internal cryptographic keys). Backups are stored in a restricted location on the server and are automatically pruned after a short retention period (typically around seven days). They are only used for disaster recovery and are not used for analytics or normal product features.
We also keep server and security logs for a limited time to monitor the Service, troubleshoot problems and prevent abuse (for example, failed login attempts and firewall activity). These logs are automatically rotated and deleted after their retention period has passed, and are generally kept for no more than about 30 days, depending on the log type.
The security of your data is important to us. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized access, disclosure or other misuse.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Depending on where you are located and which Service Providers we use, your Personal Data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
Where required by law, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your Personal Data remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. This may include using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or relying on other lawful transfer mechanisms.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, you have certain rights in relation to your Personal Data. Subject to applicable law and some limitations, these include:
You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the details in the Contact Us section below. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity before responding. We aim to respond to all valid requests within one month, where required by applicable law, and we will inform you if we need more time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
In practice, you can exercise some of these rights directly from your account settings on GamesGraph. Under the Data Control section you can:
.zip file containing .json data.
GamesGraph includes settings that allow you to control how your data is used and how much is shared with other users. For example, you can choose whether your profile, reviews, playlists and other lists are visible to others, and you can adjust discovery and recommendation settings.
You can also contact us at any time if you would like to change how your data is used or shared within the Service, subject to the technical and legal limitations of doing so.
Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from anyone under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "last updated" date at the top of the page.
We may also, where appropriate, notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on the Service.
