Summary: KASTLR is a free CS2 skin price tracking website. We don't require accounts. The only personal data we collect is your email address if you voluntarily set a price alert or subscribe to the newsletter. Sponsor banners may appear on the site. These are static images with no tracking scripts or cookies. We don't sell your data.
KASTLR ("we", "our", "us") operates kastlr.com — a free Counter-Strike 2 skin price tracking and market data website for South African players. All prices are displayed in South African Rand (ZAR). KASTLR is not affiliated with Valve Corporation, Steam, or any skin marketplace.
For privacy enquiries: privacy@kastlr.com
No account required. You can use KASTLR — including the prices page, leaderboard, news, and deal checker — without providing any personal information whatsoever.
Price alerts (optional): If you choose to set a price alert via the Watchlist page, we collect and store your email address and the alert details (skin name, target price, direction). This is the only personal data we collect.
Standard server logs: Like all websites, our hosting provider (Axxess) may log standard technical data such as IP addresses and browser user agent strings for security and diagnostic purposes. We do not use these logs to identify or track individual users.
What we do NOT collect:
Regarding cookies: KASTLR itself does not set cookies. Sponsor banner images are hosted directly on KASTLR's own servers and do not set cookies. If you click a link to an external site (such as Tradeit.gg), that site's own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Your email address (if provided for alerts) is used solely to:
Alert emails are sent via Resend (resend.com), a transactional email service. Your email address is passed to Resend only at the moment your alert fires. We do not maintain mailing lists.
KASTLR displays banner advertisements from direct, vetted sponsors. These are private sponsorship arrangements — not programmatic advertising networks. Our advertising policy is as follows:
Current and past sponsors are CS2-related businesses such as skin marketplaces. We only accept sponsorships from reputable, legitimate companies relevant to the CS2 community.
If you are interested in advertising on KASTLR, contact hello@kastlr.com or @kastlrcsgo on X.
Alert data (email + skin + target price) is stored in Supabase, a database service hosted in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany). Supabase is GDPR-compliant. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
CS2 market price data is fetched from steamwebapi.com and Valve's Steam Market API. No personal data is involved in this process.
The website is hosted by Axxess (South Africa) and served via Cloudflare (global CDN).
KASTLR participates in the Tradeit.gg affiliate programme. Links to Tradeit.gg on this site contain an affiliate tracking parameter (aff=kastlrcsgo). If you click a BUY link and make a purchase on Tradeit, KASTLR may earn a commission. This does not affect the price you pay. We only recommend Tradeit because it is a legitimate, widely-used CS2 skin marketplace.
