Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 31, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Backseatr ("Backseatr", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the Backseatr mobile and web application and related services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Account information: when you sign up, we collect your email address and the username, bio, profile image, and privacy setting you choose. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive basic profile information from those providers.
Content you create: the games you track, play sessions, ratings, reviews, lists, comments, follows, favorites, blocks, and reports you submit.
Steam data (optional): if you connect Steam, we store your SteamID, public name, avatar, and the games and playtime from your public Steam library so we can import them.
Technical data: basic information needed to operate the Service, such as authentication tokens and error logs.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to:
• create and maintain your account;
• provide the core features of the Service (tracking games, sessions, lists, and social interactions);
• import and match your Steam library when you connect it;
• keep the Service secure and troubleshoot problems;
• communicate with you about your account when necessary.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
3. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties to function:
• Supabase — hosting, database, and authentication.
• IGDB — video game metadata (this does not involve your personal data).
• Steam (Valve) — library import when you connect your account.
• Google and Apple — optional sign-in.
These providers process data under their own privacy policies. Backseatr is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by them.
4. Sharing and social features
Backseatr is a social app. Depending on your privacy setting, your username, profile, and activity (such as sessions, reviews, and public lists) may be visible to other users. You can set your profile to private so that only approved followers can see your activity.
When you report content, we retain the target, reason, status, timestamps, and moderation decisions so we can investigate abuse, support users, and maintain an audit trail. Reports are not shown to other users. Blocking hides both users from each other across social features until the blocker reverses it.
We only share personal information with third parties as needed to operate the Service, or when required by law.
5. Data retention and deletion
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and its associated active data immediately after secure sign-in, either in the app or from the web:
https://www.backseatr.com/delete-account
6. Security
We use industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and access controls, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. International users
Backseatr is operated from Argentina. If you use the Service from another country, your information may be processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You can exercise many of these rights directly in the app, or by contacting us.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
