Steam updated their Privacy Policy on April 22, 2026 by making a minor change to a support link URL. The link to request access or deletion of personal data through their help form was shortened by removing the '/en/' language path segment. This is a technical URL adjustment and does not change any user rights or data practices.
Steam made a minor adjustment to a URL in their Privacy Policy, changing the link to their data access and deletion request form. The new URL removes the '/en/' language code from the path but leads to the same support page. This change has no effect on your privacy rights or how Steam handles your data.
This change is a minor technical URL correction and has no practical impact on users. The data request form remains accessible and user rights are unchanged.
The URL to Steam's help form for submitting data access or deletion requests was updated by removing the '/en/' language path segment — the destination and functionality remain the same.

Steam updated one URL in their Privacy Policy on April 22, 2026 — specifically the link to the help form for data access and deletion requests (relevant to GDPR Art. 15–17 and CCPA §1798.100–1798.105 mechanics). The change is a path shortening from '/en/wizard/HelpAccountDataQuestion' to '/wizard/HelpAccountDataQuestion' and does not alter any substantive right, obligation, or data practice. No compliance action is required, but teams should verify the new URL resolves correctly if it is referenced in internal documentation or DPAs.
GDPR Art. 12 (transparent communication of data subject rights), Art. 15 (right of access), Art. 17 (right to erasure) — the link in question is the mechanism Steam provides for exercising these rights. CCPA Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100 (right to access), §1798.105 (right to deletion) — same functional concern. While the change is trivial, regulators expect that links to rights-exercise mechanisms in published privacy policies are functional and accurate. No new exposure is created, but a broken link to a data request form could attract supervisory attention under Art. 12(1) GDPR (obligation to facilitate exercise of data subject rights).
