Why we use it

Deletion and retention
Deletion has a 30-day recovery period. After recovery expires, PUGNET will delete or anonymize profile and unnecessary personal data as applicable. PUGNET will retain and use the minimum records required for Steam identity non-reuse, ban enforcement, abuse prevention and match integrity where the final legal policy permits.
Raw IP history will not be retained indefinitely.
