Privacy Policy

Who we are

CSDB.gg is a Counter-Strike 2 database, statistics and tools site operated by CS Processing Ltd (“we”, “us”), a company registered in England and Wales, company number 10396777, registered office Bramhall House, 14 Ack Lane East, Bramhall, Stockport, England, SK7 2BY. CS Processing Ltd is the data controller for the personal data described on this page. You can reach us about anything here at hello@csdb.gg.

Most of CSDB.gg can be used without signing in or telling us anything about yourself. Some of it cannot, and one part of the site holds information about Counter-Strike players who have never visited at all. This page says plainly which is which.

What we hold, and why

1. Everyone who visits

We count visits in three different ways, and they are governed differently.

Our own counter records the page you viewed and sends it to us. It sets nothing on your device and does not identify you; we rely on our legitimate interest in knowing which pages are used. It runs for everybody.

PostHog counts page views and where visits came from (the referring site or search engine), also for everybody and also without cookies or anything stored on your device. To tell one visitor from another within a day without identifying anyone, it combines your IP address and browser details with a value that changes every day and keeps only the result; your IP address is not stored. We rely on the same legitimate interest. PostHog processes this on servers in the United States.

Google Analytics 4 sets cookies to tell repeat visits apart, and processes your IP address and device and browser information. It runs only if you accept it on the banner shown on your first visit. If you decline, Google Analytics is never loaded at all — nothing is set and nothing is sent. You can change your mind at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. We do not run advertising cookies, tracking pixels or retargeting.

Our hosting and database providers process your IP address and request details in their server logs, as any website's do.

2. Members, if you choose to sign in

CSDB.gg has optional accounts. You can sign in with Steam, or with an email magic-link. If you do, we store: your SteamID64, Steam display name and avatar (from Steam) and/or your email address; when you created the account and when you accepted the consent copy shown at sign-in; when you last visited your dashboard; a referral code; and, only if you have entered a giveaway and want a prize sent, your Steam trade URL. Sign-in sets a session cookie, which is necessary for the account to work.

We process this to operate the account you asked for, and to run giveaways you choose to enter. Entering a giveaway records your entry so the draw can be verified afterwards.

3. Player profiles, including people who have never used the site

This is the part that deserves the clearest explanation, because it can apply to you without you having done anything.

CSDB.gg has a player statistics section at /stats/<SteamID64>/. When anyoneloads one of those pages — you, a teammate, an opponent, a stranger who typed the ID in, or a search engine crawler — we fetch that account's public information and store it so the page can be shown and can track changes over time. That means a profile page can exist for a player who has never visited CSDB.gg, never signed in and never heard of us.

What we store for such a profile:

• SteamID64, current Steam persona name, avatar, country code and profile visibility, from Valve's public Steam Web API.
• Publicly available competitive information — Premier rating, FACEIT level and ELO, Wingman rank, match counts and win rate — from Valve, Leetify and FACEIT.
• Counters about the page itself: how many times it has been loaded, on how many separate days, and how often the ID was typed directly into our search.
• If someone has run an inventory valuation for that ID, the public inventory contents and value it returned.

We rely on legitimate interests: presenting public competitive information about a public game account, which is the ordinary purpose of a statistics site. We think that is a fair balance, but it is a balance, and it can be objected to — see Your rights. Profile pages are not indexed by search engines by default.

If you claim your own profile by signing in with Steam, and separately choose to connect match tracking by giving us your Valve match-sharing authentication code, we additionally store that code and your match history. That only ever happens because you did it deliberately.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or the EEA you have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to object to our processing it on the basis of legitimate interests, and to have it restricted while an objection is considered.

Removing a player profile.If it is your own, the quickest way is to sign in with Steam, open your profile page and use “Remove this profile from CSDB” — signing in with Steam is how Valve proves the account is yours, and the removal takes effect immediately. Otherwise, or if you would rather not sign in, email hello@csdb.ggwith the SteamID64. We will delete the stored profile and its history and add the ID to a suppression list. That list exists precisely so the deletion holds: without it, the next person to open the page would recreate the record. The suppression list holds the SteamID64 and nothing else about you. After that the page returns “not found” and we stop fetching anything about the account.

Deleting your CSDB account. This is a separate thing from removing a player profile, and doing one does not do the other. To delete the account, sign in and use account settings. Your member record is deleted and the data attached to it goes with it — watchlist, locker, saved snapshots, inventory and the rest. Two things are kept but made anonymous rather than erased, because they are records of something that happened: a giveaway entry or win, and any correction you submitted to our pro-player data. Neither carries your name afterwards. It does not remove a /stats/ player profile. That profile is built from public Steam data and exists whether or not anyone holds an account, so deleting the account only unlinks you from it. If you want both gone, remove the profile too — you can do that first, or email us and we will do both.

We aim to answer within one month. If you are not satisfied you can complain to your national data protection authority.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for advertising. We use these providers to run the site, and they process data on our behalf or as described:

• Vercel — hosting; processes request data and server logs.
• Neon — the database that stores everything described above.
• Google Analytics 4 — usage analytics, as described above.
• PostHog — cookieless visit counting, as described above.
• Resend — sends magic-link sign-in and members email.
• Valve / Steam Web API — we request public account information from Valve. Signing in with Steam happens at Steam; we never see your Steam password.
• Leetify and FACEIT — we request public competitive statistics for a SteamID64.
• Steam CDN and PriceEmpire — item images and market prices. No personal data is sent.

How long we keep it

Member account data is kept until you delete the account or ask us to. Player profile data is kept while the profile exists, and is deleted on request as described above; a suppression entry is kept permanently, because it is the only thing preventing the record being rebuilt. Analytics data is retained for the period configured in our Google Analytics property and our PostHog project.

Cookies and local storage

Signing in sets a session cookie. That one is strictly necessary for an account to work, so it is not something we ask permission for — it only exists if you sign in.

Google Analytics cookies are the only non-essential cookies we use, and they are set only if you accept them. Declining is a real refusal, not a preference we note and work around: the Google Analytics script is never loaded. Change your answer with “Cookie settings” in the footer. We set no advertising or retargeting cookies.

Your preferred currency for skin prices, and similar display preferences, are kept in your browser's localStorage and are never sent to our servers. You can clear them through your browser at any time.

CSDB Companion Browser Extension

The CSDB Companion extension shows cross-market prices for the Counter-Strike 2 skin you are currently viewing. It has no account, no login and no tracking of any kind.

What is sent to us. When you view a skin on the Steam Market, your Steam inventory, a trade offer, or a supported marketplace, the extension asks csdb.gg for the price of the item name it detected on that page. The item name is the only thing transmitted. We do not receive your browsing history, the URLs you visit, your Steam ID, your Steam login, or any personal information.

What stays on your device.Your most recent inventory valuation is cached in the browser's local extension storage so the popup can display it instantly. It is never uploaded, and uninstalling the extension removes it.

Third parties. The extension makes no requests to any third party. Fonts and icons are bundled inside it rather than loaded from a CDN, specifically so that using it cannot reveal your IP address to anyone but us. Links to marketplaces are routed through csdb.gg/go, which may carry an affiliate reference; following one is the only circumstance in which you leave for a third-party site, and no personal data is attached to that redirect.

No analytics. The extension contains no analytics, no telemetry and no advertising code.

Children's Privacy

CSDB.gg is not directed at children and we do not knowingly create member accounts for children under 13. If you believe we hold data about a child, email hello@csdb.gg and we will remove it.
