What We Collect

Scanline collects the minimum data needed to provide the service:

  • Account information — your email address and hashed password.
  • Game store credentials — OAuth tokens and session tokens for services you connect (Steam, GOG, Epic, PlayStation Network, Xbox, itch.io). These are used solely to import your game library.
  • Library data — your game ownership, play history, and subscription information as imported from connected stores.
  • Preferences — platform selections, theme, and other settings.

How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively to power Scanline's features:

  • Importing and displaying your game library across stores.
  • Showing which games are playable with your subscriptions.
  • Authenticating you and maintaining your session.

We do not sell, share, or rent your personal data to third parties. We do not serve ads. We do not use your data for analytics beyond basic server operation.

Third-Party Store Tokens

When you connect a game store, Scanline stores authentication tokens (OAuth refresh tokens or session tokens) to access your library data. Specifically:

  • Steam — your Steam ID (public).
  • GOG, Epic — OAuth refresh tokens, scoped to library access.
  • PlayStation Network — an NPSSO session token. Sony does not offer a public API; this token is used only to read your game list and play history.
  • Xbox — OAuth refresh tokens obtained via Microsoft's auth flow.
  • itch.io — your API key, scoped to library access.

You can disconnect any store at any time from your settings page, which deletes the stored token.

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. Store tokens are stored as-is in the database and are only accessible to the application server. All connections to Scanline are encrypted via HTTPS.

Your Rights

You can:

  • Delete your account — available in Account Settings. This permanently removes all your data.
  • Disconnect stores — remove any connected store and its associated token from your settings.
  • Contact us — email privacy@scanline.gg with any privacy questions or data requests.

Cookies

Scanline uses a single session cookie for authentication. We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party cookies.

Changes

We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be communicated via the app.
