Indie Dev Stats

Last updated: July 22, 2026

Indie Dev Stats ("the App") is a Steam analytics tool for indie game developers, developed by oreordaz. This Privacy Policy describes what data the App accesses, how it is used, and what it does not do.

1. Data We Do Not Collect

Indie Dev Stats does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data with the developer or any third party. Specifically:

• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs are embedded in the App.
• No advertising identifiers, device fingerprints, or usage statistics are gathered.
• No account registration is required and none is performed.
• The developer has no visibility into which games you track, your Steam identity, or how you use the App.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All information you enter into Indie Dev Stats stays exclusively on your device:

• Steam App IDs — the list of games you choose to monitor.
• Steam Publisher / Financial API key — stored in Android's encrypted Keystore (flutter_secure_storage); never transmitted to anyone except Valve's official Steam Partner API.
• Steam Web API key — stored identically in the encrypted Keystore.
• Steam ID (64-bit) — stored in the app's private SharedPreferences.
• Notification preferences and wishlist baselines — stored locally in SharedPreferences.

You can delete all stored data at any time by uninstalling the App or clearing its data via Android Settings → Apps → Indie Dev Stats → Clear data.

3. Data Sent to Third-Party Services

Indie Dev Stats communicates exclusively with Valve Corporation's official Steam APIs over HTTPS. The following endpoints are used:

• store.steampowered.com — public store data (prices, reviews, app details)
• api.steampowered.com — player counts, library data, achievements (using your Web API key)
• partner.steam-api.com — wishlist and sales data (using your Publisher key)
• steamcommunity.com — event news images (CDN)

Your API keys are included in outbound requests to these endpoints as required by Steam's authentication mechanism — this is their intended use. Keys are never sent to any server other than Steam's.

The App may also open links to SteamDB and Metacritic in your device's browser. Indie Dev Stats has no control over those sites' privacy practices.

4. Permissions

• INTERNET — required to fetch data from Steam APIs.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS — requested only if you enable review, sale, or event alerts. You may deny or revoke this permission at any time in Android Settings.
• RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — used to restart background notification checks after a device reboot, only when notifications are enabled.

5. Background Processing

When notification alerts are enabled, the App schedules a periodic background task (approximately once per hour) via WorkManager. This task queries Steam APIs using your locally stored keys and displays a notification if a monitored condition is met. No data from this task is sent to the developer.

6. Children's Privacy

Indie Dev Stats is intended for use by game developers and is not directed at children under the age of 13. The App does not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

If this Privacy Policy is updated, the new version will be published at this URL. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
