Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

Short version: there's no login, no account, no tracking, no cookies, no analytics. You visit the site, you look at a graph, that's it. The only thing collected is the standard web server log every website generates, and it's not used for anything beyond keeping the site running.

01 Who runs this

Game Tracker (gametracker.wiki) is an independently run, non-commercial hobby project. It's operated by a single person on their own server infrastructure — there's no company, no team, and no third-party analytics or advertising providers involved.

02 No accounts, no personal data collection

You cannot register, log in, or create any kind of profile on Game Tracker. There are no forms to fill in, no email addresses collected, no cookies set, and no user preferences saved anywhere. Every visitor sees the exact same public data, and nothing you do on the site is tied to an identity.

03 Server logs

Like virtually every website on the internet, the web server that runs Game Tracker automatically records basic technical information for each request it receives, purely for operational and security purposes (e.g. debugging, spotting abuse, keeping the service stable). This can include:

IP address of the visitor
Requested URL (e.g. which game page or API endpoint was accessed)
Timestamp of the request
Browser/user-agent string
Referring page, if any

These logs are not linked to any account (since none exist), are not sold, shared, or used for advertising, and are not analyzed individually. They exist only as a byproduct of running a web server and are used, if ever, only to investigate technical problems or abuse (e.g. bot spam, attempted attacks).

04 No cookies, no analytics, no trackers

Game Tracker does not use cookies, does not embed Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any similar tracking script, and does not run any advertising. There is nothing on this site trying to identify you, follow you between visits, or build a profile of your behavior.

05 Where the game data comes from

All player-count and pricing data shown on Game Tracker comes from Steam's public API. This is public, aggregate data about games — it has nothing to do with individual Steam users or accounts, and browsing it on Game Tracker doesn't interact with your own Steam account in any way.

06 API access

The data shown on Game Tracker is also available directly as JSON through the same public endpoints the site itself uses — no API key or account needed. There's no formal documentation and no guarantee the response format stays stable over time, so treat it as a convenience, not a committed API contract.

Requests are rate-limited (roughly 60 requests per minute per IP), and bulk-downloading the entire tracked catalogue is not something this project supports — it's meant for grabbing data on a handful of games, not scraping everything at once.

07 Third parties

The site loads two external resources needed for it to work and look right:

Google Fonts — for the typefaces used on the page.
cdnjs (Cloudflare's CDN) — to load the charting library used to draw the graphs.

Loading these may cause your browser to make a request to Google's or Cloudflare's servers, which could log your IP address on their end, under their own respective privacy policies. Game Tracker itself does not share any data with them beyond what your browser does automatically when fetching a file.

08 Children's privacy

Game Tracker doesn't collect personal data from anyone, including children, since there's no account system or data collection to begin with.

09 Changes to this policy

If anything about how the site works ever changes (for example, if analytics were ever added), this page would be updated to reflect that, along with the "last updated" date at the top.

10 Contact

This project doesn't currently offer a contact channel. If that changes, this page will be updated to reflect it.
