Privacy

You can use LobbyRoll without an account. Here is everything we keep, and why.

When you join a vote

We store the name you type, your votes, and a cookie that lets your browser vote as you in that session. Everyone with the vote’s link sees your name and votes. 90 days after a vote ends, we delete it with every name and vote in it. A vote nobody ended goes 90 days after it started.

When you sign in with Steam

You sign in on Steam’s own site; we never see your password. From Steam we store your Steam ID, your Steam name and the address of your avatar picture, plus the ids of the games you own that are in our catalog and when we last read them. We don’t keep your playtime or the rest of your library. We read your games when you sign in and when you press “Refresh my Steam library”, which needs your Steam game details set to public. In a vote you join while signed in, the others see which shortlisted games you own.

Staying signed in uses two cookies for up to 30 days: a random sign-in token (we store only a hash of it, with when it expires) and a copy of your Steam name and avatar so the page header can show them.

Visitor statistics

We count page views and a few clicks (such as starting a vote or using search) with Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool we host ourselves. It sets no cookies, doesn’t store your IP address and doesn’t follow you across other sites, so we can’t tell who you are from these numbers.

Signing out and deleting your data

On your account page, “Sign out” ends the sign-in on this browser and “Delete my account and data” removes your Steam ID, name, avatar, game list and every sign-in at once. Names and votes you left in group votes stay part of those votes, no longer linked to your account, until the 90 days are up.

To have a whole vote deleted sooner, or with any other question, contact us at [email protected]. LobbyRoll is not affiliated with Valve; Steam’s own privacy policy covers what Steam itself collects.
