CSTV Privacy Policy
We design CSTV so demos, media, settings, and generated videos stay on your device wherever possible. This page explains how information is handled by CSTV, cstv.games, and Steam-related features.
How data is handled
CSTV is a local desktop tool for Counter-Strike 2 players. Demo files, capture settings, media indexes, and generated videos stay on your device by default.
CSTV does not automatically publish your demos, recordings, voice audio, or generated videos.
Steam account information
When Steam features are used, CSTV may read the account identifier exposed by Steam on your PC to connect demos to the correct local player. Authentication, purchases, and payment data are handled by Steam under its own policies.
Diagnostics and support
We only receive screenshots, logs, app version, system information, or reproduction steps when you choose to provide them for support. They are used to troubleshoot crashes, capture, sync, and compatibility issues.
Website data
The hosting infrastructure for cstv.games may record standard request data such as IP address, browser type, request time, and referring page. The website does not collect payment card data.
Third-party services
CSTV may rely on Steam, Valve services, and website hosting providers. Those parties process data under their own terms and privacy policies.
Retention, deletion, and contact
You can clear local databases, logs, and frame captures in the app and delete output videos directly. Use the support center for privacy or support questions. Changes to this policy will be published here.
