Privacy Policy for CSStatLab

CSStatLab ("we", "us", or "our") provides Counter-Strike 2 statistics, profile pages, match history views, academy content, and derived performance insights based on publicly available or licensed third-party data.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we process, where it comes from, how we use it, and what third-party services are involved when you use csstatlab.com.

2.1 Public Player Data

2.2 Search Inputs

2.3 Analytics and Performance Data

2.4 Advertising and Affiliate Activity

We use data to:

• Display player profiles, match history, rankings, and statistics
• Generate derived insights, charts, and role or trend visualizations
• Resolve submitted Steam profile identifiers
• Improve site reliability, performance, and product quality
• Reduce external API load through limited caching and temporary storage where applicable
• Support advertising where the relevant consent has been provided
• Redirect affiliate links to a relevant storefront after you click

We do not sell personal data to data brokers. We do not provide a private user account system on CSStatLab.

CSStatLab relies on third-party services, including:

• Steam Web API
• Leetify Public API
• FACEIT API
• Vercel Analytics
• Vercel Speed Insights
• Google AdSense

These services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. CSStatLab is not affiliated with Valve, Steam, Leetify, FACEIT, Vercel, or Google unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Optional analytics (Google Tag Manager) is not loaded before you accept analytics. The Google AdSense script loads for all visitors, because it is what delivers Google’s certified consent message. Advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalization are all set to denied by default and stay denied until you consent through that message.

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at google.com/settings/ads, and opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at optout.aboutads.info.

Player and match statistics shown on profile pages are fetched live from third-party APIs (Steam, Leetify, FACEIT) each time a page is requested. We do not store player or match data from these providers on our servers.

To reduce redundant API requests, we keep a small lookup cache that records only a Steam ID and a timestamp indicating whether a player has a connected Leetify account. It contains no profile, match, or performance data, and entries expire automatically.

The consent record stored in your browser contains your category choices, a consent version, and a timestamp. It expires after 180 days unless you change it sooner.

Necessary browser storage is used to remember your privacy choice and feedback you explicitly submit on Academy articles. Optional analytics and advertising technologies are disabled by default and are only activated after an active choice. You can accept, reject, customize, or later withdraw your consent.

Our Cookie Policy lists the categories, providers, purposes and storage durations.

CSStatLab is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through a user account system.

Where the GDPR applies, CSStatLab relies on these legal bases under Article 6:

• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): operating and securing the site, and displaying publicly available player statistics that visitors have chosen to look up.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): optional analytics and any personalized advertising. You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer, or through Google’s consent message for advertising.

If you are in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, and to request its rectification or erasure. You may also request that we restrict processing, object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, and receive your data in a portable format.

In practice CSStatLab holds very little: the site does not require an account, and player statistics are fetched live from Steam, Leetify and FACEIT rather than stored here. Requests about the data those services hold should go to them directly.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority - in Norway, Datatilsynet.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
