Your collection is personal. Its privacy should be clear.

Scope and overview

This Privacy Policy applies to FinalSave, including the public website, the signed-in application, public game pages, connected gaming platform features, supporter billing, and feedback tools.

FinalSave is an independently operated service based in the United States. For privacy purposes, FinalSave is responsible for deciding how information is used for the service. Privacy questions and requests can be submitted through the private contact form.

FinalSave collects the information needed to operate accounts, maintain game collections, provide optional integrations, understand product usage, process supporter subscriptions, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests. FinalSave does not sell personal information.

Information FinalSave collects

Account information

This can include your email address, username, encrypted password credentials, account creation date, email verification status, and identifiers received when you choose an available sign-in provider.

Collection and gameplay information

This can include games in your backlog and library, status changes, favorites, ratings, written reviews, completion dates, play sessions, completion time, achievements, trophies, imported playtime, and information needed to match your games to the FinalSave catalog.

Connected gaming platforms

If you choose to connect or import a supported gaming account, FinalSave may receive platform identifiers, display names, avatars, game ownership or history, playtime, presence, achievements, trophies, and tokens needed to keep an authorized connection working. The exact information depends on the platform and feature you choose.

Payments

Supporter payments are processed by Stripe. FinalSave stores a Stripe customer identifier and subscription status so paid access can be managed. FinalSave does not store full payment card numbers.

Usage, device, and security information

FinalSave and its service providers may process IP addresses, browser and device information, requested pages, referring information, feature interactions, timestamps, authentication events, error details, and rate-limit information. If product analytics is enabled, FinalSave uses PostHog to understand page views and feature usage.

Feedback

When you submit feedback, FinalSave receives the message, the page where it was submitted, browser information, and any optional email address you provide. If you are signed in, the report may also include your account identifier and username.

Consent and policy records

FinalSave records the legal notice versions you accepted or acknowledged, the optional email choices you made, when those choices were recorded or changed, and where in the product the choice was made. These records help FinalSave honor your choices and demonstrate that permission was requested appropriately.

How information is used

• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve FinalSave.
• Create and authenticate accounts.
• Store backlogs, libraries, reviews, ratings, sessions, and collection records.
• Connect optional gaming services and import the information you request.
• Calculate account progress, community statistics, and product features.
• Process supporter subscriptions and manage paid access.
• Send account verification, password reset, security, and service messages.
• Send optional personal recaps or promotional emails only according to the email choices recorded for your account.
• Measure usage, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and enforce product rules.
• Respond to feedback, privacy requests, and account support.

Email communications

Essential account and service email

FinalSave may send messages needed to create, secure, support, bill, or administer your account. These can include email verification, password reset, payment and subscription information, replies to support requests, security alerts, material changes to the service, and legally required notices. These messages are not promotional and are not controlled by optional email preferences.

Personal activity recaps

If you opt in, FinalSave may send personalized summaries based on your account, such as games started or completed, collection milestones, playtime, ratings, and other FinalSave statistics. This permission is optional and starts turned off. Recap messages will not be used as promotional emails unless you have also opted in to product news and offers.

Product news and promotional email

If you separately opt in, FinalSave may send feature announcements, supporter news, surveys, product updates, and offers. This permission is optional, starts turned off, and is not required to create or keep an account.

Changing your choices

You can change either optional email choice in Account Settings. Promotional and optional recap messages will also provide an unsubscribe method when required. Withdrawing permission does not affect messages sent before the change. FinalSave may retain limited suppression and consent records needed to honor an opt-out and meet legal obligations.

Legal bases for processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, FinalSave relies on the basis appropriate to the purpose:

• Contract: to create and administer your account, store your collection, provide requested features, process subscriptions, and deliver the service you ask to use.
• Legitimate interests: to secure FinalSave, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, understand product performance, improve features, and protect users, balanced against your rights and expectations.
• Consent: for optional marketing email, optional personal recap email, and non-essential cookies or similar technologies where consent is required.
• Legal obligation: to keep required records, respond to lawful requests, protect legal rights, and comply with tax, accounting, consumer protection, and other applicable laws.

You may withdraw consent at any time for future processing that relies on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.

Public activity and game pages

Public game pages are controlled by a separate optional sharing setting. Community activity inside FinalSave does not automatically publish your reviews on search-engine-accessible pages.

When public game-page sharing is enabled, those pages may display your username, written review, rating, and related game activity. Public aggregate statistics use only activity from members who explicitly enable this setting, and small groups may be hidden to reduce the risk of identifying an individual from a statistic.

Public pages do not intentionally display your email address, authentication credentials, connected platform tokens, or private library records. Turning public game-page sharing off removes your contributions from FinalSave public queries after short-lived caches expire.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Essential cookies

FinalSave uses an authentication cookie to keep members signed in. Temporary session cookies may also be used during supported sign-in and gaming platform connection flows. These cookies are needed for security and core product operation.

Analytics

FinalSave may use PostHog to process product usage events and related identifiers so it can understand feature adoption, diagnose problems, and improve the service. Browser analytics is disabled unless FinalSave has enabled an appropriate consent flow for non-essential analytics.

Google advertising

FinalSave may use Google AdSense on selected public content pages. When advertising is enabled, Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers to deliver, measure, and personalize advertising as permitted by your choices and applicable law.

Google's use of advertising cookies can allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to FinalSave and other websites. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Learn more from How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Where required, FinalSave will request consent before using non-essential advertising or analytics storage. Advertising is not currently loaded inside the core signed-in application.

Service providers and information sharing

FinalSave uses service providers to operate the product. Depending on the feature, these can include Railway for hosting and databases, Stripe for payments, PostHog for analytics, Resend for transactional email and feedback delivery, Google for available sign-in and advertising services, IGDB for game metadata, and gaming platforms you choose to connect.

Information is shared with these providers only as needed for the relevant service. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect users or the service, to investigate abuse, or as part of a business transfer where appropriate safeguards apply.

Gaming platforms and external services have their own privacy policies. Connecting one of those services also subjects the information exchanged with that service to its policies.

International data transfers

FinalSave is operated in the United States and uses service providers that may process information in the United States and other countries. Those countries may have privacy laws different from the laws where you live.

Where required, FinalSave will use contractual commitments or another recognized transfer mechanism intended to protect personal information transferred across borders.

Retention and deletion

Account and collection information is generally retained while your account remains active. Some operational logs, security records, billing records, and backup copies may be retained for a limited period when needed for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute handling, or reliable service operation.

You can permanently delete your FinalSave account from account settings. Account deletion removes the account and associated backlogs, games, library records, sessions, reviews, and activity from the primary database. FinalSave also attempts to cancel active FinalSave subscriptions connected to the deleted account.

You can remove supported gaming imports or disconnect available gaming accounts without deleting your entire FinalSave account.

Your choices and privacy rights

• Update community activity and public game-page sharing from your account settings.
• Change optional recap and marketing email choices in Account Settings.
• Disconnect supported gaming accounts and remove imported data.
• Manage or cancel a Supporter subscription through the billing portal.
• Adjust browser controls for cookies and similar storage.
• Use Google Ads Settings to manage personalized Google advertising.
• Delete your FinalSave account from account settings.
• Submit a privacy request to ask about access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection rights that may apply where you live.

Children

FinalSave is a general audience service and is not directed to children under 13. You may not create an account if you are under 13 or below any higher minimum age required for online services where you live.

If FinalSave learns that personal information was collected from a child in violation of applicable law, FinalSave will take appropriate steps to delete it. A parent or guardian can raise a concern through the private contact form.

Security and policy changes

FinalSave uses technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect account information, including encrypted connections, restricted cookies, password hashing, authentication controls, request limits, and scoped access to service credentials. No online service can guarantee absolute security.

This policy may change as FinalSave adds features, service providers, or legal requirements. Material updates will be reflected by a new date on this page and may also be announced through FinalSave product updates.

Privacy contact

To ask a privacy question, request help with an account, or raise a concern, use the private contact form. Do not include passwords, payment card details, gaming platform tokens, or other secrets.
