Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This policy applies to https://www.playworth.net and related PlayWorth pages operated by the site owner.
What PlayWorth does
PlayWorth is a Steam library and game-value tool. When you look up a profile or game, our server requests public data from Steam, Steam store pages, and third-party stats sources (e.g. SteamSpy, community APIs). We do not ask for your Steam password. Optional Login with Steam uses Steam’s OpenID so we only learn your SteamID and public persona after you approve on Steam.
Data we process
- Steam IDs / vanity URLs you submit or link via Login
- Public library, playtime, and friend-list data when those settings allow it
- A signed session cookie after Login (SteamID, display name, avatar URL) so we can open your profile next visit
- Optional linked platform IDs (Riot ID, Minecraft username, BattleTag, etc.) stored on our server for Beyond Steam beta
- Optional user-reported manual hours/spend for platforms that do not expose those APIs
- Temporary in-memory caches of store prices and stats (not sold as a marketing list)
- Standard server logs (IP, user agent, request path) for abuse prevention and reliability
Spend data: Publishers do not provide third-party APIs for lifetime real-money purchases (League, Valorant, Overwatch, etc.). PlayWorth never scrapes password-protected purchase history. We only show estimates where store prices or match-based hours are officially available, or values you enter yourself.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may show ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show relevant ads and measure performance. You can learn how Google uses data here: How Google uses information from sites that use our services .
To opt out of personalized advertising, visit Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.
Ads on PlayWorth are limited (results/post-lookup and game profile surfaces only) and labeled “Advertisement”. We do not run full-page interstitials by default. Optional PlayWorth Pro is ad-free and paid via Stripe (card details never touch our servers).
PlayWorth Pro & payments
If you subscribe to Pro, we store your SteamID, Pro plan status, and Stripe customer/subscription IDs so we can unlock history, ad-free, and HD shares. Card payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers. Saved wrap history is a compact summary of your public library stats on our server.
Cookies
After Steam Login we set an HttpOnly session cookie (pw_sess) so you stay linked
across visits (about 30 days). Use Log out to clear it.
Other essential local storage may be used for UI state. Advertising cookies are set by Google when
AdSense is enabled. Browser settings can block third-party cookies.
Third-party services
- Valve / Steam (OpenID login and public Web API / store data)
- Google AdSense (advertising, if enabled)
- Optional game-network APIs (e.g. Riot, Mojang, Roblox public endpoints) only when you link those accounts
Children
PlayWorth is not directed at children under 13. Do not submit personal information for children under the age required by your region’s laws.
