(you have to log in through the browser, alternatively you can use the client: Support, My account, Data related to your Steam account)

There's some interesting stuff. Oh and apparently Steam has a cloud log of all your recent chat messages (privacy hooray).

You can also check your Steam Cloud files.

You are the only one, who can see all this (if you haven't given any others your account's log-in, that is).

Yes, of course. But still it's useful to know how much data Steam keeps about you, that's why I made the topic :)

A GDPR consequence, no doubt.

itch.io have done the same, incidentally:
https://itch.io/user/settings/data-export

Unlike most other services which keep a permanent log of all your chats, like GOG? If anything it would be nice to have a perma history rather than the temp one Steam chat has.

i am always freaked out by how much data companies have on you.

my steam cloud library is kind of random

tbh I got used to it. none of that bugs me anymore. cause it seems to be the new trend of EVERY SINGLE company has to mine data off of it's users to use and make the platform they have more enticing for the user or sell it to marketing firms or who ever to make whatever they want to make with it.

The information age sucks but at least we have rainbow ice-cream with chocolate cones!! Now that I can support.

Hah! That is nothing compared to how much I know about the said companies! I know how much money they make, who their bosses are and where they live etc. Oh boy oh boy...

Nope, u aren't the only 1. Steam had all these info, meaning it's possible some1 who somehow managed 2 either hacked or gained access 2 Steam server &/or ur account wld be able c them. As long as ur info/data is out there somewhere online it's nv 100% safe. That's wat i believe anyway.

Oh, thks Desmight 4 letting us know abt this. :)

Seems Friend Chat Messages Under the last section Chat doesn't list anything for me, even though I had some of these :/
Must I enable something to have a record? I rather welcomed the ability to easily browse older correspondence

Looks like it was somewhat changed recently, when I looked when I said this it had all the people I ever chatted with listed on the left. Now it's empty on the left and I need to click the + and then I get a dropdown list of those people and when i select them I see the chat log, and they get added on the left again (I imagine a 'recent' filter or something was added?)

Small feature but if you visit Licenses you can remove complimentary added games such as demos or free games. Oddly satisfying to use it.

that actually sounds pretty neat

I don't like how this feature is implemented.

Google, Microsoft, Facebook and even itch.io let you download the data they have on you in HTML or JSON form, or whatever format is applicable for a situation. You get to see the data they have on you in a nearly raw form, without any distractions (like images). Furthermore, the option to download your data is clearly visible in the settings of the site.

Steam's implementations firstly doesn't even let you download the data to your PC. Instead, they put up a less visible help page for your data, and said help page is just a lazy compilation of links to pages you already had access to prior to the GDPR era. Links for most community related data leads to you to the community section on Steam, instead of providing a JSON with what you need, for example. This makes you have to fight the website itself and determine your data by yourself, and it doesn't take into account hidden details, like how many times you downloaded something or had to pass through Steam's crappy link filter.

My Google data had much more sections than Steam, yet because of the fact I could open up my data in Notepad++ or through my browser instantly and see my own data without distractions, I actually went through the entirety of it. Meanwhile, Steam's "account data" is so embarrassingly lazily put, that I just didn't see the point of it. Literally the same pages you already had for years, and little of that compilation is actually formatted to be raw, free of distractions. Furthermore, it isn't downloadable, so I can't just quickly and immediately know what I need with Notepad++, and without internet delay.
