Privacy by Design
We implement privacy by design principles:

- Hashes are mathematically irreversible - cannot be traced back to you
- Zero personal identifiable information (PII) in our database
- No collection of IP addresses, user agents, device info, or browser data
- Only essential service data linked to anonymous hashes
- Steam inspect links stored as they are public game data, not personal information
- Security audit logs maintained without any personal data
- Row-level security ensures you can only access your own anonymized data
How We Use Your Data
- To provide and maintain our service
- To personalize your experience
- To analyze usage and improve our service
- To communicate important updates
- To comply with legal obligations
Game Data & Inspect Links
We store Steam inspect links for discovered patterns. These are::
- Public game data that anyone can access
- Not linked to any personal information
- Designed by Valve to be freely shared
- Used to allow users to view and verify blue gem patterns in CS2
Authentication Providers
We use third-party authentication services. When you log in:
- Discord OAuth2:
- We receive only your Discord user ID
- This ID is immediately hashed and never stored
- Steam OpenID:
- We receive only your Steam ID
- This ID is immediately hashed and never stored
Important: We never receive or store your email, username, or any other personal information from these providers.
International Data Transfers
Your anonymized data may be processed in the following locations:
- Supabase servers (United States) - stores only hashed identifiers
- Google Analytics servers (United States) - if you consent to analytics
Since we only store anonymous hashes, your personal identity remains protected regardless of data location. We comply with Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Security
Our privacy-by-design architecture provides industry-leading security:
- SHA256 hashing with salt makes user identification mathematically irreversible
- Row-level security (RLS) ensures users can only access their own data
- No personal data stored means nothing sensitive to breach
- Comprehensive audit logging without exposing any personal information
- Anonymous database views prevent accidental PII exposure
