Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 24, 2026 Last updated: November 4, 2026

gmCharts (“gmCharts,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when you use:

  • the gmCharts website;
  • the gmCharts API and related backend services;
  • and our support contact at support@gmcharts.com

gmCharts is operated by an independent developer.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly, such as your email address and message when contacting support.

Technical and usage information may include IP address, an approximate country code, requested URL, request time, browser or User-Agent, referral source, device and browser information, interactions, and server/API errors. The country may be supplied by Cloudflare or estimated locally from the IP address using a GeoIP database.

When a page triggers a background game-data refresh, the page URL, locale, request count, and most recent User-Agent may be stored temporarily in the refresh queue for diagnostics and to distinguish browser traffic from automated clients.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to operate gmCharts, provide functionality, maintain security, stability, and performance, prevent abuse, troubleshoot, support users, improve the service, manage advertising, and comply with legal obligations.

The approximate country code is used to select regional Steam prices and sales rankings, queue missing or stale regional data for refresh, and determine whether analytics consent is required. Country-based refresh records are operational records and are not used to create an individual visitor profile.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with technical providers, advertising partners, when required by law, to protect rights/safety, or during business transfers.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

gmCharts uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display and measure advertisements on the website.

Google and its advertising partners may process cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, device identifiers, and visit information to serve, limit, secure, and measure advertisements. gmCharts currently configures Google tags with ad storage, ad user data, and ad personalization denied and does not offer a control for enabling personalized advertising.

You can manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com/ and learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You may also review opt-out options at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

5. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for site operation, security, performance, analytics, and advertising. Browser settings can control cookies; disabling them may affect some functionality.

The analytics preference is stored in the browser under the localStorage key gmcharts_cookie_consent_v2. Rejecting analytics does not prevent the core site, regional prices, or regional rankings from working.

6. Analytics and cookies

gmCharts uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its performance, content, and usability.

Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device type, browser type, operating system, referral source, interactions with website elements, and usage statistics. gmCharts does not use Google Analytics to collect names, email addresses, account credentials, or other information that directly identifies visitors.

Analytics cookies and similar technologies are used only where required consent has been provided. Visitors can accept or reject analytics cookies through the cookie banner. Consent choices may be stored locally in the visitor’s browser.

Google may process analytics data according to its own privacy terms and policies. gmCharts uses this data only in aggregated or statistical form to understand website usage and improve the service.

gmCharts does not use Google Analytics for personalized advertising at this time.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only as reasonably necessary for operations, security, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and protection of legitimate interests. Completed refresh jobs are removed from active queues; technical and error logs are retained according to operational needs and may be rotated or deleted when no longer required.

8. Data Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no online transmission or storage is absolutely secure.

9. Children’s Privacy

gmCharts is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact support@gmcharts.com.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

gmCharts uses or links to third-party services including Steam, Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Cloudflare, and GeoIP data provided by MaxMind. Opening a third-party link sends the request directly to that provider and may expose your IP address, browser information, and referrer. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

11. Your Rights

Depending on location, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion. Contact support@gmcharts.com for privacy requests; verification may be required.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy. If changes are made, we update the date on this page; continued use means the updated policy applies.
