INTRODUCTION
OpnSkin ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information when you use our skin marketplace, peer-to-peer trading platform, wallet services, and all related features (collectively referred to as "OpnSkin" or the "Services").
By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and accept the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue your use of our platform immediately. This policy applies to all users of OpnSkin, regardless of how they access the Services (web, mobile, browser extension, or API).

WHAT OPNSKIN DOES
OpnSkin is a peer-to-peer marketplace where users can buy and sell in-game skins and virtual items for supported games including Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, and Rust. Our platform serves as an intermediary to facilitate safe transactions between buyers and sellers. We provide the following core services:
- Marketplace · A platform for listing, browsing, searching, and purchasing in-game skins with built-in escrow protection to ensure both parties are protected during every transaction.
- Instant Sell · A service allowing users to sell their items directly to OpnSkin for an immediate payout at a guaranteed price, without waiting for a buyer (coming soon).
- Payments & Payouts · All marketplace payments are processed securely through Trustap, our payment provider. Buyers pay at checkout via Trustap's hosted page (card, iDEAL, Bancontact, P24, Wero, and other supported methods). Sellers receive their payouts directly to their linked bank account through Trustap after the escrow period.
- KYC & Tiers · An identity verification system and progressive tier structure that rewards active sellers with lower marketplace fees, higher transaction limits, and increased OPN point earnings.
- Skin Draft Leagues & OPN · Optional weekly competitions where users draft five skins (knife, gloves, rifle, sniper, pistol) from a curated pool and score points based on real market price movements × wear multiplier. Two formats are offered: Amateur (free entry, OPN prizes) and Elite (paid entry in OPN, premium real-skin prizes). Powered by OPN, our in-platform points currency earned through marketplace activity and league winnings.

PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
3.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you create an account, link external services, verify your identity, or contact our support team, you voluntarily provide us with certain personal information. This includes:
- Steam Account Data · When you link your Steam account, we receive your Steam ID, display name, avatar image, and profile URL. This data is necessary for us to verify item ownership, initiate trade offers, and display your identity on the marketplace.
- Email & Google Account · If you sign up with email or link a Google account, we collect your email address, name, and profile data. This is used for account creation, authentication, and communication purposes.
- KYC Documents & Biometric Data · When you choose to verify your identity (Level 2 verification), you provide identity documents (passport, national ID, or driver's licence) and undergo a live selfie capture with liveness detection and automated face matching. This process is carried out by our third-party verification provider, Didit (Didit Technology S.L.). Your identity documents and biometric data (facial image) are transmitted directly to Didit for processing. OpnSkin receives only the verification result (approved, declined, pending) and AML screening status; we do not store your identity documents or biometric images on our servers. Didit processes this data in accordance with their own privacy policy and applicable EU regulations.
- Spending Limits & Self-Exclusion Preferences · If you configure personal spending limits for draft leagues or activate self-exclusion, we store these settings (limit amounts, exclusion period) as part of your account data to enforce them across sessions.
- Payment Information · When you make a purchase, you are redirected to a Trustap-hosted checkout page. OpnSkin does not collect or store your card details or bank information; all payment data is handled directly by Trustap in accordance with their privacy policy and PCI DSS standards.
- Support Communications · Any messages, attachments, screenshots, or other materials you send us through our support channels are collected and stored to resolve your issues effectively.
3.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use OpnSkin, certain technical and usage information is collected automatically by our servers and analytics tools. This helps us maintain security, diagnose technical issues, and improve the user experience:
- Technical Data · Your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, screen resolution, and timezone. This information is used for security monitoring, fraud detection, and platform optimisation.
- Usage Data · Pages visited, features used, actions taken (such as listings created, trades completed, wallet operations performed), time spent on pages, and navigation paths. This helps us understand how users interact with the platform.
- Cookies & Session Data · Session identifiers, authentication tokens, language preferences, currency settings, and other data stored via cookies and local storage. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
3.3 Steam Data
We access certain data from the Steam platform via the Steam Web API, but only data that is strictly necessary to operate the marketplace. This includes information about item ownership in your Steam inventory, your trade offer eligibility and settings, and your Steam Guard and trade hold status. We do not access or collect your in-game communications, friend list details, purchase history on Steam, or any other data beyond what is required for our marketplace operations.

SECURITY
We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security measures include:
- All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). Sensitive data at rest is also encrypted where applicable.
- Secure session management with CSRF protection, HTTP-only cookies, and automatic session expiration after periods of inactivity.
- Role-based access controls ensuring that only authorised personnel can access personal data, with access logged and monitored.
- Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and updates to our security practices in line with industry best practices.
- DDoS protection and web application firewall provided by Cloudflare to protect against external attacks.

10
COOKIES
OpnSkin uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality (authentication, security), user preferences (language, currency), and analytics (understanding how the platform is used). We use only the cookies that are necessary to provide a secure and functional experience, plus optional analytics cookies that you can decline. For a complete list of all cookies we use, their purposes, and their durations, please see our dedicated Cookie Policy.
11
BROWSER EXTENSION
If you choose to install the OpnSkin browser extension, it may access additional data on your device to provide its features. The extension is designed to enhance your experience when browsing Steam market pages by displaying OpnSkin prices, savings, and comparison data directly in the Steam interface.
What the extension does
- Displays OpnSkin marketplace prices alongside Steam Community Market prices on item listing pages
- Shows price comparisons and potential savings when buying through OpnSkin instead of Steam
- Reads Steam inventory page content to help you identify items that can be listed on OpnSkin
- Synchronises your login session between the OpnSkin website and the extension for seamless operation
- Stores your extension preferences (display settings, notification preferences) locally on your device
Data accessed by the extension
- Cookies · The extension accesses OpnSkin session cookies to synchronise your authenticated state between the website and the extension, so you don't need to log in separately.
- Local Storage · Extension preferences, cached price data, and display settings are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
- Page Content · The extension reads the DOM (page structure) of Steam Community Market pages to inject price overlay elements. It does not read content from any other websites.
We do not sell, share, or transmit extension-collected data to any third party. The extension communicates only with OpnSkin servers to fetch pricing data and verify your session.
12
MINORS
Our Services are not intended for, and should not be used by, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors under 18 years of age. Age verification is enforced during our identity verification (KYC) process: users who do not meet the minimum age of 18 are automatically declined. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take steps to delete such information from our systems.
13
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
Your personal data is primarily processed within the European Union. However, some of our service providers (such as cloud infrastructure or payment processors) may process data in other countries. When your data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions, to provide a level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU.
14
