Privacy policy

NextSave (nextsave.gg) is a personal project built by me, 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.

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
• 100%-completion stats you choose to share (hours, difficulty, whether it was worth it)

Technical:

• one session cookie, so you stay signed in
• standard server logs (basic request info) for keeping the thing running and debugging

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.

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.

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. Two things are shared, and both are things you do on purpose: publishing a plan makes that plan and your public display name visible to other people, and sharing what a 100% took you becomes a public review under your Steam name on your profile. Public profiles and published plans are visible without signing in, and search engines can index them.

One more pipe: when you sign up, send a suggestion, or report something, a private Discord channel pings me with your persona name, Steam ID, and whatever you typed. That goes through Discord Inc. (US), and it exists so I actually see it. Only I see it though, I'm just super fixated on seeing what's going on with the site.

Traffic counting happens through Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service: no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal identifiers. It tells me which pages get visited so I know what to work on, not who you are.

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. Feedback and reports you sent stay, so the site can keep being run, but your identity is removed from them. Steam never knew you were here.

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.

NextSave is not directed at children under 13, and Steam itself requires you to be at least 13 to have an account.

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Nothing sneaky.
