Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

Nordic Rust (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This policy describes what data we collect when you use our website, game servers, Discord, and related services (“Services”), and how we use and protect it.

1. Data we collect

When you use our Services we may collect:

  • Steam identifier: Your Steam ID (e.g. 64-bit ID) when you sign in via Steam, to link your account to gameplay, leaderboards, map votes, and support.
  • Gameplay data: In-game stats (e.g. playtime, kills, deaths), server events, and map votes, tied to your Steam ID.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and logs necessary for security, abuse prevention, and operation of our servers and website.
  • Communications: If you contact us (e.g. support tickets, Discord messages), we keep records needed to respond and improve our services.

2. How we use your data

We use the data above to:

  • Provide and operate our Services (game servers, website, leaderboards, map voting).
  • Identify you when you sign in and enforce our rules and bans.
  • Improve our Services, fix bugs, and prevent cheating or abuse.
  • Comply with the law and respond to valid legal requests.
  • Communicate with you about your account or our Services where necessary.

3. Cookies and similar tech

We use session cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences. These are necessary for the website and account features to work. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not work.

4. Third parties

We may use third-party services (e.g. hosting, analytics, Discord) that process data on our behalf. Steam sign-in is handled by Valve; their privacy policy applies to your Steam account. We do not sell your personal data to advertisers or data brokers.

5. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as needed to provide our Services, enforce our rules, and comply with the law. Gameplay and account data may be retained after you stop playing. Logs may be kept for a limited period for security and debugging.

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data (e.g. secure connections, access controls). No system is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us via our account page or Discord. We will respond in line with applicable law.

8. Children

Our Services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of our Services after changes means you accept the updated policy.

10. Contact

For privacy-related questions or requests, contact us via our account page, Discord, or the contact method listed on our website.
