Privacy

You can use this site without an account

Nothing here requires signing in. Browse, search and follow claim links without ever identifying yourself. Everything below about accounts applies only if you choose to create one.

If you do sign in

There is no password — you sign in through Steam, and we are handed a profile name, an avatar and a Steam ID. Steam does not give us an email address. If Discord or Google sign-in is enabled, those also pass on your email address, which we store so we can contact you if you ask us to. We keep a record of when your account was created and when it was last used. That is the whole account.

Your claimed list

Signed out, the list is written to your own browser with localStorage. It never reaches us, we cannot restore it, and clearing your browser data clears it — which is why the page offers a JSON export. Signed in, the list is stored against your account so it follows you between devices: the game, when you claimed it, and whether the store confirmed it.

Connecting a store

If you connect Steam or itch.io, we read which games you already own so the board can mark the ones you can skip. We store those game IDs and when we last checked. It is read-only: nothing can be bought, claimed or changed on your store account, because no store offers that and we would not use it if they did.

Deleting all of it

Your account page has a delete control. It removes the account, the claimed list, any connected stores and everything we detected about what you own. It cannot be undone and we keep no copy. Games you claimed stay yours — they live on the store, not here.

What we do count

When someone clicks a claim link we record two things: which game it was, and when. That is the whole record. No IP address, no browser fingerprint, no cookie, no identifier of any kind, and nothing that could be linked back to a person or joined across visits. It exists so we can tell which giveaways people actually want.

Advertising

This site shows ads from Google AdSense, which is what keeps it free. Google may set cookies and use them to personalise advertising, which is outside our control and governed by Google's own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can manage ad personalisation in your Google account settings or through your browser.

Links to other sites

Claim links go directly to Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, itch.io and other storefronts. Once you follow one you are on their site under their privacy policy, not ours.

Changes

If what we collect ever changes, this page changes with it. Given that the answer is currently "a game name and a timestamp", we intend to keep it that way.
