Privacy Policy

Effective: 16 April 2026.

This Privacy Policy describes how the operator of the MarketSkins website and related services ("we", "us") handles personal data when you visit the site, use features, or contact us electronically. We process data lawfully and with appropriate safeguards as set out below.

We aim to align our practices with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), and the Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data" (as amended), where they apply to our processing activities.

The sections below explain what we collect, why we use it, whom we may share it with, how long we keep it, and what rights you have. By accessing or using MarketSkins, you acknowledge this Policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Account data: display name, email if provided, and data received from Steam OpenID (Steam ID, public profile fields such as avatar and username as shown on Steam).
  • Payment-related data: information required to process payouts or top-ups through our payment partners.
  • Profile content: anything you voluntarily publish in your profile or communications with support.
  • Transaction data: orders, trades, balances, and related logs on MarketSkins.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: pages viewed, approximate navigation paths, and technical logs needed for security and reliability.
  • Device and network data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, and coarse location derived from IP where applicable.

Information from third parties

When you connect third-party services (e.g. Steam, payment providers, or social login if added later), we may receive information they share according to your settings and their policies. Please review those services' privacy notices separately.

2. How we use your information

  • To provide, operate, and improve MarketSkins and related support.
  • To personalize the experience where technically possible.
  • To communicate about your account, orders, security alerts, and support tickets.
  • To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and technical incidents.
  • To send marketing or product updates only where we have a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.

3. Sharing your information

  • Processors and partners: vendors, consultants, hosting, analytics, and payment processors who assist us under contracts that require confidentiality and appropriate security. We do not sell your personal data to advertisers for their independent marketing.
  • Authorities: when disclosure is required by law, court order, or lawful requests from public bodies, including for national security or law enforcement where applicable.
  • Vital interests: if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to prevent serious harm.
  • Enforcement: to protect MarketSkins, users, and third parties, including enforcing our Terms of Service.

4. Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed to fulfil the purposes above, resolve disputes, and meet legal, accounting, and regulatory retention requirements.

5. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • request access to the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • request deletion, subject to legal exceptions;
  • object to certain processing or ask us to restrict it;
  • request portability of data you provided, where technically feasible.

To exercise these rights, email support-placeholder@skinsmvp.local. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

6. Security

We apply technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No online service can guarantee absolute security; risks such as malware, phishing, or targeted attacks may remain outside our control. We will nonetheless use reasonable efforts to safeguard your information.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

MarketSkins uses cookies and similar technologies where needed for sign-in, preferences, security, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit functionality.

8. Children

We do not knowingly process personal data of children below the minimum age required in their country or region of residence. If you believe a child has provided personal data to MarketSkins without appropriate consent, contact us at support-placeholder@skinsmvp.local so we can take appropriate steps.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of MarketSkins after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
