NekoByte Privacy Policy

Version 2026-05-17.0 | Last Updated: May 17, 2026 (UTC)

This policy covers the paid Steam edition of NekoByte, NekoByte-operated legal/support/marketing pages, and direct communications you choose to send to BluJay131 Holdings LLC.

1. Controller and Scope

BluJay131 Holdings LLC, 522 W Riverside Ave Ste N, Spokane WA 99201, United States, operates NekoByte.

Valve operates Steam and Steam Workshop under Valve's own terms and privacy documents. When Steam or Steam Workshop handles a function, Valve controls that processing rather than NekoByte.

2. What the Steam Edition Does Not Do

As of this version, the Steam edition does not use NekoByte-controlled servers for user accounts, cloud sync, advertising, NekoByte-controlled analytics or telemetry uploads, automatic crash-report uploads, background update checks outside Steam, or background internet latency probes.

The Steam edition is intended to run locally on your device except for Steam services, Steam Workshop interactions, and links or external services you choose to open.

3. Local Device Data

NekoByte stores and processes app data locally on your device, including settings, themes, wallpapers, widgets, pets, layout choices, power or optimization preferences, local asset references, and locally processed hardware, performance, and runtime metrics.

4. Steam and Steam Workshop

Purchases, downloads, refunds, ownership checks, storefront activity, Steam account data, and Steam-managed update delivery are handled by Valve through Steam.

If you use Steam Workshop features, Valve also handles Workshop uploads, downloads, subscriptions, ratings, comments, preview media, and Steam Community activity. NekoByte may read Steam-installed Workshop files locally so they can be used inside the app, but BluJay131 Holdings LLC does not receive your Steam Workshop usage history from NekoByte merely because you use those files in the app.

5. Direct Communications You Choose To Send

If you contact us by email or physical mail, we may process the information you choose to provide, such as your name or alias, contact details, message contents, screenshots, logs, attachments, and follow-up correspondence.

We use this information only to respond to support requests, handle legal or privacy requests, process formal notices, investigate reported security issues, and maintain related business and compliance records.

Do not send passwords, API keys, payment card data, government identification numbers, or sensitive personal information in support communications.

6. Website Data

If you visit a NekoByte-operated website, we or our hosting and security providers may process limited technical data necessary to deliver and secure the site, such as IP address, request metadata, and standard server or edge logs.

NekoByte web pages may also use essential cookies or similar technologies for security, routing, rate limiting, authenticated admin sessions, and browser-local privacy-choice records.

As of this version, optional NekoByte-controlled website analytics or advertising cookies are not active.

7. How We Use Personal Data

Where applicable, we process personal data to provide the software and website, respond to your requests, protect security and integrity, maintain records, enforce our terms, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

NekoByte does not use NekoByte-controlled profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you.

8. Legal Bases and Purpose Mapping

Processing activity Main purpose Typical legal basis
Local app configuration and locally processed runtime features on your device Provide the software features you choose to use Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request; in some contexts legitimate interests
Website delivery, security, abuse prevention, rate limiting, and admin-session protection Operate and secure the website Legitimate interests; where required, compliance with legal obligations
Support, privacy, legal, and security correspondence you send to us Respond to your request, protect security, and maintain records Performance of a contract where applicable, legitimate interests, and compliance with legal obligations
Optional cookies or similar technologies, if we later enable them Optional analytics or similar non-essential functions Consent where required

9. Sharing

We do not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may share limited personal data only when reasonably necessary with Valve where you use Steam or Steam Workshop features, service providers that host, secure, or support our website or business operations, professional advisers or counterparties involved in legal or compliance matters, and authorities or other parties where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

10. International Transfers

NekoByte is operated from the United States. If you contact us from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent where consent is the relevant basis.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, NekoByte treats that browser as an essential-only choice for optional cookie-related processing where applicable.

You may also have the right to complain to a regulator or supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. We may need to verify your request before completing it.

12. Region-Specific Notes

EEA and UK

If EEA or UK data-protection law applies to a particular interaction, you may have the rights described above and the right to complain to the supervisory authority in your usual place of residence, work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

BluJay131 Holdings LLC does not maintain an establishment in the EEA or the UK. Based on the current NekoByte-controlled processing described in this policy, we currently assess our direct processing for individuals in those regions as only occasional, low-risk, and not involving large-scale processing of special category or criminal-offence data, and we do not currently designate an Article 27 EU or UK representative.

This assessment is specific to the current product and website posture described in this policy. If we materially change that posture, including by adding broader direct account systems, cloud services, behavioral advertising, optional analytics, or sustained direct monitoring, we will reassess whether an EU or UK representative is required and update this policy if needed.

Brazil (LGPD)

If Brazil's LGPD applies to a particular interaction, you may have rights such as confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymization, blocking, deletion where applicable, portability where applicable, information about sharing, information about consent-based choices, and the right to petition the ANPD or other competent authorities where available under law.

Canada

If Canadian privacy law applies to a particular interaction, you may request access to and correction of personal information we control and may contact us with questions or complaints about our handling of that information. Where we rely on service providers outside your province or country, data may be processed in other jurisdictions, including the United States, subject to applicable law.

Quebec

If Quebec privacy law applies to a particular interaction, you may request access to and correction of personal information we control, ask questions about cross-border handling, and submit complaints to us or to the Commission d'acces a l'information du Quebec where applicable.

Australia

If Australian privacy law applies to a particular interaction, you may contact us to request access, correction, or to make a complaint about our handling of personal information. If we cannot resolve the matter, you may have the right to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Japan

If Japanese privacy law applies to a particular interaction, you may contact us to request access, correction, suspension of use, deletion, or other rights available under the Act on the Protection of Personal Information.

South Korea

If South Korean privacy law applies to a particular interaction, you may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, suspension of processing, or other rights available under the Personal Information Protection Act.

13. Retention

Local app data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall NekoByte. Direct communications and related records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the request, maintain business records, investigate abuse or security matters, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

14. Children

NekoByte is not directed to children under 13. Additional age or parental-consent rules may apply under local law or through Steam.

15. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material updates may be published in-app, on the website, or both.

16. Contact
