![]() ![]() They simply find their own "tricks" to store the information - directly or indirectly - and keep it updated. Google and other search engines (web archives, etc.) can't find any of them, but steamID can! These Steam history websites really focus on caching Steam profiles. I searched for quite a lot of profiles before writing this answer. Please don't tell me that google caches it too. So the information will be remembered forever. I saw that the websites show (maybe just provide a link to) screenshots about our profiles. ![]() User A might have used a realistic profile description with a birth date and real name. I don't have personal issues with steamID or these websites but I am totally emphatic and can see how much this may be a problem for many Steam users. And your only way to remove the information is to send your personal identity card over the Internet to a completely unknown individual. SteamID will cache and remember those two years forever. You ("you" means a person in general!) register a profile and you do not change the default settings for two years (what if I am a 15 year old child or just an inexperienced user who does not even look at the details about how much I can limit my profile visibility). Not only do these websites store public information but they store historic information as well. These websites may be allowed and may be legal in the countries where they work, where they are located/hosted.ģ) McFluffy Butt: You are not exactly right. This is nothing negative, I just want to be sure what is allowed in my country as the legal systems are very different among countries. The last statement (-> it would be against the law) is still under my verification but this week I am going to consult my lawyer to make it sure. This is semi-legal (grey-zone) but in some cases it is even against the law to ask such information. A real name (real first and last name, as an example) or a personal photo.ī) In order to remove personal information, the websites "threaten" to ask a personal identification card (in certain countries it is called "passport") which should be sent over the Internet. Without registration, without permission or agreement.Ģ) There is a GDPR manager on steamid uk.Ī) This tool only allows the users to remove the _personal_ cached information. The keyword is the historic.ġ) When we register a new steam account, it is public visibility by default. Several websites like steamid uk store historic profile information. ![]() I have the same suggestion as the OP and want to mention the same issue. Sorry for replying to an old post but I wouldn't want to start a new (duplicate) suggestion unnecessarily. It should be down to Valve to crack down on Scammers & cheaters not some third party. ![]()
