Both documents have been extended to cover the whole site rather than just the paid tier, and to spell out plainly what data we collect and where it comes from. Continuing to use the site means you accept the new versions.
What changed in the User Agreement
It used to describe only the paid subscription. It now also covers using the site at all - including browsing for free, without an account - so the rules you're actually subject to are written down somewhere you can read them.
The parts worth knowing about:
- Your content. Anything you put on the site yourself - your dossier bio, your party-finder listing and contact handle - is yours and your responsibility.
- Price increases are capped. A single change can't raise a subscription price by more than 50%, you get at least 10 days' notice, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
- Perks can change, but not silently. What's included in a paid plan can be changed or dropped. If that's our own decision, you get at least 10 days' notice and can cancel before it takes effect. If it's forced on us - see the next point - it can happen immediately, and we'll say so as soon as we reasonably can.
- If the game's API changes. The site runs entirely on data from Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Steam. If Crytek or Valve change, restrict or shut off what we read, features can disappear or the site can stop working - and the agreement now says so instead of leaving it unsaid.
- Blocking. Trying to get into someone else's account, working around plan limits, or breaking the site for other people can get your access limited or your account removed.
- Your game accounts. Nothing here touches your game. There is no mod, no cheat, no injector, nothing to install, and nothing you have to do in-game or out of it. We never ask for or hold your password - signing in goes through Steam's own OpenID, and all that reaches us is your Steam ID. Everything shown here is data that Hunt and your Steam profile already make public, so appearing on this site breaks none of their rules. The agreement now says all of this outright.
What changed in the Privacy Policy
Mostly it got clearer about scope. It now says plainly what the site works with: data available through the Steam Web API, and data available from the game's own online service. From outside, nothing else - unless you connect Discord yourself.
It also states plainly that we don't modify the game client - public data reaches us through the site's own technical accounts.
The in-game switch that hides your stats now has its behaviour pinned down in the policy, rather than just being how we happen to behave. While it's on: nothing new is collected or stored, and stats we already had stop being displayed anywhere - dossier, rankings, everything. You need no account here to use it, and it's reversible: turn it off and the site picks up again. Whatever was collected before stays with us but hidden, and you can delete it yourself or ask us to.
Two more things are now written down. We don't try to work out who the person behind a Steam ID actually is - we don't cross-reference the data against other sources to identify anyone, we don't hand it to advertisers, and we don't sell it. And the rights to see or delete your data belong to any player whose data we hold.
Reading them
Both are linked from the sign-in page, from About and from the pricing page, and they're plain text you can read straight through:
Each carries its revision date at the top. When either document changes, there'll be a post like this one describing what changed.
