STEAMe Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 23, 2025
Your privacy is important to us. It is the policy of STEAMe, LLC (“STEAMe”, “we”, “our”, “us”) to respect your privacy, and we are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and process personal information about individuals who use our website, https://steame.com, other sites we own and operate, services, tools and features, or otherwise interact with us, including when an individual applies for a job with us (collectively, the “Services”).
Personal information is any information that relates to you as an individual and can reasonably be used to identify you. By using our Services, you accept and acknowledge that your personal information will be collected, processed and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept the collection and processing of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we are unable to provide you with our Services and you should cease using our site.
In the event our site contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our site.
In addition, this Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the controller of personal information. However, this Privacy Policy does not cover or address how our customers may process personal information when they use our Services, or how we may process personal information on their behalf in accordance with their instructions where we are acting as their processor. As a result, if you are a learner using our Services, we recommend referring to and reviewing the privacy policy of the customer with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process personal information on their behalf as they are responsible for your personal information.

Additionally, if you encounter certain errors while using the site, we may automatically collect data about the error and the circumstances surrounding its occurrence.

You may or may not receive notice of such errors, even in the moment they occur, that they have occurred, or what the nature of the error is.
Please be aware that while this information may not be “personal information” by itself, it may be possible to combine it with other data to identify individual persons such that it would be considered “personal information” under applicable privacy laws.

Security of Your Personal Information
When we collect and process personal information, and while we retain this information, we make commercially reasonable efforts to protect it from loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.
Although we will do our best to protect the personal information you provide to us, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure and no one can guarantee absolute data security.
You are responsible for selecting any password and its overall security strength and ensuring the security of your own information within the bounds of our Services, for example, by ensuring you do not make your personal information publicly available via our platform.
How Long We Keep Your Personal Information
We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary. This time period may depend on what we are using your information for, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, if you have provided us with personal information such as an email address when contacting us about a specific inquiry, we may retain this information for the duration of your inquiry remaining open as well as for our own records so we may effectively address similar inquiries in future. If your personal information is no longer required for this purpose, we will delete it or make it anonymous by removing all details that identify you.
When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you the Services, resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity, or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children under 13. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information about a child under 13 years of age, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information.
