Privacy & Trust Commitment
At RpyHub (“we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible from https://rpyhub.com, we consider the privacy of our visitors and registered community members of paramount importance. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the security measures we employ.
1. Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization. We only collect the minimal technical and account information necessary to deliver a fast, safe, and personalized gaming catalog experience.
- Account Information: When you register an account or sign in via third-party OAuth (Google, Discord, Steam), we store your chosen username, email address, registration timestamp, and avatar image. We never receive or store your third-party account passwords.
- Security & Anti-Bot Telemetry: To defend our community, login modals, and download gateway from malicious bot attacks, brute-force intrusions, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) campaigns, our security engines (including Cloudflare Turnstile) process anonymized client identifiers and IP addresses.
- Platform Activity: User-curated wishlists, collections, game ratings (likes/dislikes), and discussion comments submitted through our frontend interface.
- Log Files & Technical Analytics: Like most web portals, our servers log non-personally identifiable technical information such as browser user-agent, operating system, referring URL, and page timestamps to analyze trends and diagnose server issues.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used strictly to operate and enhance RpyHub:
- To facilitate user account creation, session management, and password recovery.
- To enable community gamification, personalized game wishlists, and curated collections.
- To protect download mirrors and servers against scraping, hotlinking, and automated abuse.
- To prevent fraudulent activity, multiple account abuse, and spam in comment threads.
Zero Data Selling Guarantee
RpyHub does not sell, rent, lease, or trade personal data or user contact lists to any third-party marketers, advertisers, or data brokers under any circumstances.
3. Third-Party Social Authentication (OAuth 2.0 & OpenID)
We provide one-click single sign-on options for your convenience:
- Google OAuth 2.0: Only your public profile name, email, and Google ID are verified.
- Discord OAuth 2.0: Verifies your verified Discord user handle, public avatar, and email.
- Steam OpenID 2.0: Verifies your 64-bit Steam ID, gamer persona name, and Steam Community avatar.
All authentication flows utilize cryptographically random, short-lived tokens to ensure complete security against replay attacks.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
RpyHub uses essential session cookies to remember your logged-in state, CSRF security tokens to protect forms, and local storage to save your UI preferences. For comprehensive details, please consult our dedicated Cookie Policy.
5. Your Rights Under GDPR & CCPA
Regardless of your geographic location, you retain full rights over your data:
- Right of Access: You may request a summary of the personal data held about your account.
- Right to Rectification: You may update your profile details directly from your User Dashboard at any time.
- Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”): You may request complete deletion of your account and associated comments by submitting an account termination request.
