Mayak does not show third-party advertising, does not track you across other companies' apps or websites, does not sell personal data, and does not share personal data with data brokers.

Information We Collect

Account and profile information

• A Mayak/Supabase account identifier used to identify and secure your account.
• If you sign in with Apple or Google, the name and email address those providers make available to Mayak. If you use Apple's Hide My Email feature, Mayak receives the private relay address instead of your personal email address.
• A username and preferred gaming platforms, if you choose to provide them.
• If you continue without Apple or Google sign-in, Mayak creates a pseudonymous backend account so your library and activity can be saved. That account is not associated with a name or email unless you later link a sign-in provider.

Library, activity, and recommendations

• Games added to your library and their statuses, such as Wishlist, Backlog, Playing, Played, or Abandoned.
• Ratings, written reviews, hidden games, swipe decisions, undo actions, interaction timestamps, and time spent viewing a game card.
• These records are used to operate and synchronize your library and to personalize game recommendations. The detailed taste profile calculated from those signals is stored on your device rather than in Mayak's backend.

Optional connected gaming accounts

If you choose to connect a gaming account, Mayak may collect:

• Steam: your Steam ID, public persona name, owned games, playtime, last-played information, and synchronization status.
• PlayStation Network: the Online ID you enter, the resolved PSN account identifier, played-game titles, platform, play duration, last-played information when available, and synchronization status.

Mayak uses this information to match games to its catalog, import or update your library, and personalize recommendations using your imported library. Titles or game identifiers that cannot be matched may be retained with your Mayak account as catalog-matching diagnostics. Disconnecting Steam or PSN removes the connection, but games already imported into your Mayak library remain until you remove them or delete your Mayak account.
