Privacy Policy

What Should I Play? uses Steam sign-in and Steam library data to help you pick a game from your backlog. We keep the data use narrow: the app is for game selection, not profile building or data resale.

Steam Data We Use

When you sign in with Steam, Steam OpenID tells us your Steam ID. If your Steam profile and game details are visible through Steam Web API, we may request your public Steam display name, avatar, owned games, playtime, and last-played information.

We do not receive your Steam password, Steam Guard codes, wallet information, inventory controls, friends list, email address, or private account settings.

How We Use Data

We use Steam library and playtime data to filter your backlog, run the picker modes, show game art, and create launch links back to Steam. Game header art is loaded from Steam's public CDN using Steam app IDs.

The app enriches Steam libraries server-side with best-effort public Steam Store catalog metadata such as genres, categories, free-to-play status, and header art. Community tags are not part of Steam's owned-games response and may be added later through a separate server-side catalog source.

Storage

We use an httpOnly session cookie to keep you signed in. The cookie stores a signed session token, not your Steam password or Steam API key. Demo mode may use local browser storage to remember that demo mode is enabled.

Sharing

We do not sell your Steam data. We may process data through infrastructure providers that host or run the app. Their processing is limited to operating the service.

Analytics

We use privacy-focused Vercel Web Analytics to understand basic site usage, such as page views, connection source, selected mode, selection starts, result reveals, rerolls, launches, and filter changes. Analytics events do not include Steam IDs, game titles, Steam app IDs, Reddit prompts, or library contents.
