  • Right to Data Portability (Art. 20): Receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (JSON).

Data Protection Requests

Email: privacy@csterminal.cc

Subject line: "Data Subject Request โ€” [Your Steam ID]"

We will verify your identity via Steam authentication before processing any request. Responses within 30 days (GDPR) or 45 days (CCPA).

7. International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EU/EEA, including the United States. When we transfer data outside the EU/EEA, we ensure adequate protection through:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission (Decision 2021/914);
  • EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification where applicable;
  • Adequacy decisions by the European Commission where available;
  • Additional supplementary measures as required by the Schrems II ruling (Case C-311/18).

Our primary database is hosted in the EU region (Neon PostgreSQL), minimizing the need for cross-border data transfers.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit;
  • Encryption at rest for database storage;
  • Access controls and principle of least privilege;
  • Regular security assessments;
  • No storage of payment card details (handled entirely by Stripe, PCI DSS Level 1 certified).

In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours as required by GDPR Article 33, and affected individuals without undue delay where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms (GDPR Article 34).

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (US COPPA threshold) or under 16 (GDPR default threshold, may vary by Member State).

If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child below the applicable age threshold without valid parental consent, we will delete that data promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact privacy@csterminal.cc.

10. Do Not Track Signals

We do not track users across third-party websites and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

11. CCPA Annual Disclosure

  • Categories of PI collected: Identifiers (Steam ID), Internet activity (browsing on our site), commercial information (purchases)
  • Categories of PI sold: None. We do not sell personal information.
  • Categories of PI disclosed for business purposes: Identifiers and commercial information (to payment processors and delivery partners as described above)

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the Platform. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when the latest revision was made.
