Privacy policy
Your demos stay yours.
cswatch.it is built to replay CS2 demos locally in your browser. This policy explains what the website and optional FACEIT extension process when you use them.
Last updated July 13, 2026
The short version
cswatch.it does not require an account and does not upload your CS2 demos to its servers. Demos are parsed locally in your browser.
We do not sell data, serve ads, build advertising profiles, or use demo contents to train models.
Demo and replay data
A demo may contain player names, Steam IDs, teams, scores, chat, voice recordings, and match events. This information is read locally only to provide the replay viewer.
If you keep a replay in the Replay Library, the demo and basic replay details are saved in your browser's IndexedDB storage. They remain on that device until you delete them, clear cswatch.it site data, or the local 2 GB library limit removes the oldest replays.
FACEIT extension
When you click Watch in Browser, the extension uses the FACEIT matchroom you are viewing to request its demo. The demo is streamed from FACEIT's selected download provider into cswatch.it in your browser. It is not uploaded to cswatch.it or saved to your Downloads folder.
The extension does not read or store your FACEIT password and does not send your FACEIT cookies to cswatch.it. It accesses FACEIT matchroom information only after you use the Watch in Browser feature.
To display FACEIT profiles, cswatch.it may send the selected match ID to a server endpoint that retrieves its roster from FACEIT. The response is not cached or intentionally stored. FACEIT handles its own services under its privacy policy.
Website analytics and hosting
cswatch.it is hosted by Vercel and uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate usage such as page views, referrers, approximate location, browser, and device type. Vercel Analytics does not use cookies and is not designed to identify or track visitors across websites. cswatch.it removes query strings before analytics page views are sent.
Vercel may also process ordinary technical request information needed to deliver and secure the website. Details are available in Vercel's analytics documentation and privacy notice.
Chrome Web Store Limited Use
Information accessed by the extension is used only to provide and maintain its single user-facing purpose: opening the FACEIT demo selected by the user in the cswatch.it 2D viewer.
Extension data is not sold, used for advertising or credit decisions, or transferred for unrelated purposes. Humans are not permitted to read demo contents unless you explicitly share information for support, it is necessary for security, or disclosure is required by law.
Your choices and contact
Using the FACEIT extension is optional. You can remove saved replays from the Replay Library, clear all local data through your browser, or uninstall the extension at any time.
Questions about this policy can be sent to contact@cswatch.it. This policy may be updated if the product's data handling changes.
