What the site retrieves

When you sign in and request personalized recommendations, Steam Oracle retrieves the Steam account identifier and available profile summary, owned games and playtime, recently played games, wishlist, and achievement information exposed by Steam for that account. Signed-in users may also enter another SteamID; in that case, Steam Oracle reads only information Steam currently exposes publicly for that profile. Steam sign-in happens on Steam; Steam Oracle never receives or stores your Steam password.

What the site stores

The site stores account-scoped Steam API caches, a derived taste profile, recommendation scores, saved recommendation layouts and results, and short-lived scan job state. This can include cached public-profile results requested by another signed-in user. Scan tokens remain accessible only to the signed-in account that requested them. The site also stores shared game catalog information that is not tied to one account. Operational logs may contain a Steam account identifier when diagnosing a failed request.

Why it is used

This data is used only to generate, save, restore, filter, and improve the recommendations you request, and to keep the service reliable. It is not sold or used for unsolicited marketing.

Retention and deletion

Transient scan jobs normally expire after one hour. Steam API caches refresh on schedules ranging from minutes to days. A saved profile remains until it is replaced or you delete it. While signed in, use Delete my stored data in the site footer to remove your saved profile, account-scoped API caches, completed job records, and scan contexts. Shared game catalog data is not account-specific and is not removed.

Storage location and service providers

Account data is stored in United States. Hosting, DNS, security, monitoring, and backup providers may process limited data as needed to operate the site. Backups age out according to the operator's backup-retention schedule.

Steam and availability

Steam data is provided as-is and may be incomplete, delayed, changed, or unavailable. Steam Oracle is an independent application and is not endorsed by or affiliated with Valve or Steam.
