Privacy policy
NextSave reads your Steam library and achievements so it can help you plan. It stores the plans you make and keeps you signed in. It never writes anything back to Steam, never sells your data, and you can wipe all of it with one click. That is the whole thing. The detail is below.
Who runs this
NextSave (nextsave.gg) is a personal project built by Triss. If you have a question, or want your data handled differently, the suggestion box and the socials at the bottom of every page reach me directly.
What NextSave collects
From Steam, when you sign in (all read-only, nothing is changed on your Steam account):
- your Steam ID and public profile (persona name and avatar)
- your owned games
- which achievements you have unlocked
From you, as you use it:
- the plans, routes, notes, and subtasks you create
- a short bio if you add one, and community actions (follows, likes, forks) if you use them
Technical:
- one session cookie, so you stay signed in
- standard server logs (basic request info) for keeping the thing running and debugging
Cookies
One cookie: a session cookie that keeps you logged in. It is strictly necessary for the site to work, so there is no consent banner to click through. NextSave does not run advertising or tracking cookies, and there is no third-party analytics watching you.
Why NextSave has this, and the legal basis
To run the planner it needs your library and unlocked achievements, or it would be a blank slate. The session cookie keeps you signed in. Community features you opt into (publishing, forking, following) need the relevant bits to work. Under GDPR terms, the basis is performing the service you asked for, plus your consent for anything optional like publishing a plan.
Who it is shared with
Not sold. Not handed to advertisers. Your data lives in NextSave's database (hosted by a standard cloud provider) and is read from Valve's Steam Web API, which has its own terms. If you choose to publish a plan, that plan and your public display name become visible to other people, that is the point of sharing, but it is always opt-in.
How long it is kept
As long as you have an account. Delete your account from account settings and it is gone: your user record, sessions, plans, and links are wiped. Steam never knew you were here.
Your rights
You can export your data and delete everything from account settings, any time. If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you have the usual rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, objection). Use account settings for the self-serve parts, or reach me for anything else.
Children
NextSave is not directed at children under 13, and Steam itself requires you to be at least 13 to have an account.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Nothing sneaky.
