Privacy Policy

This policy applies when you use dispattern.com - browsing pages, using the tools, or signing in with your Steam account.

Dispattern is a Counter-Strike 2 pattern database for collectors. It ranks finishes that software can score and hosts community-submitted special patterns, votes, sales data, and market tools.

2.1 Data we may collect

Depending on which features you use, we may collect:

• Steam sign-in identifiers - SteamID64, display name, avatar, and public profile fields returned by Steam OpenID when you sign in. We never see your Steam password.
• Account content you create - special pattern submissions, votes, favorites, owned items, craft submissions, profile social links and nameplate choices, referral links.
• Preferences you set - display currency, preferred marketplace, viewer and privacy settings.
• Messages you send us - support emails, feedback, and bug reports.
• Usage analytics - page views and product events measured with Google Analytics 4.
• Automatic server logs - IP address, user agent, request time, endpoint called. Created when your browser talks to our servers.

2.2 Data we do not collect

• Steam passwords or Steam Guard codes
• Payment card numbers or government IDs (donations are handled by their own providers)
• Email addresses, unless you write to us yourself
• Browsing history outside our site

We use and process collected data only to operate and improve Dispattern, including to:

• Keep you signed in and show your account (profile, favorites, owned items, settings)
• Publish the community content you submit (special patterns, votes, crafts) under your public profile
• Compute contributor leaderboards, vote streaks, and reputation
• Remember your display currency and preferences
• Measure site usage and decide what to improve
• Keep the service secure and prevent abuse

We do not use this data for:

• Personalized advertising
• Selling leads
• Credit scoring or lending decisions
• Tracking you across unrelated websites

All transmissions of user data use HTTPS. Steam passwords are never sent to or seen by our servers.

4.1 On your device

Your browser holds a session cookie that keeps you signed in, preference cookies such as your display currency, and analytics cookies. You can clear them at any time in your browser settings.

4.2 On our servers

We store your account record (SteamID64, preferences, favorites, owned items, socials), the community content you submit (special patterns, votes, crafts), referral records, and standard server access logs (IP, user agent, timestamp) for security and abuse prevention.

4.3 Retention

Account and community records are retained while they remain useful for the public database and your profile. Access logs are retained only as long as needed for security and operations. To request deletion of server-side records associated with your SteamID64, email support@dispattern.com.

We do not sell, rent, or trade user data. We do not share user data with advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers.

Data is shared only in these cases:

• First-party services and providers - hosting, database, and analytics providers that run Dispattern, only for what they need to operate it.
• Steam - sign-in and profile reads through Steam OpenID, using your own browser session.
• Legal / safety - if required by law, or to investigate abuse, fraud, or security incidents.
• Business transfer - if Dispattern is merged or sold, after notice, and only for the same limited purposes.

Community content is public by design: special pattern submissions, votes, leaderboard standings, and the public fields of your profile (name, tag, badges, public inventory when you enable it) are visible to other users.

Dispattern uses a session cookie to keep you signed in, preference cookies for settings such as display currency, and Google Analytics 4 for usage statistics. Clearing cookies in your browser signs you out and resets preferences. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set.

You can:

• Control inventory, collection, and referral visibility in Settings
• Clear cookies in your browser to sign out and reset preferences
• Email support@dispattern.com to ask what we store for your SteamID64 or to request deletion

If you are in a region with additional privacy rights (for example access, correction, deletion, or restriction), contact us at the email above and we will handle the request as required by applicable law.

Dispattern is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We use HTTPS for network transfers of user data. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. We work to protect data with reasonable technical and organizational measures.

We may update this Privacy Policy. The Last updated date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
