If you have a Half-Life mod installed before installing Steam, Steam will automatically convert and install the game for you. It will then be accessible in the Steam "My Games" list under "Third Party Games."
If you want to add a mod after installing Steam, you need only to put it in the Steam/SteamApps/your_email_address/Half-Life directory. The next time you open the "My Games" list it will be listed under "Third Party Games."<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Nothing gets uploaded from users' machines to Steam other than account login information and other server communication/protocol information. We transfer no files from the client to the Steam system.
Some users have seen non-Steam related information (like names of private files on their computer) show up inside their Steam cache files, raising privacy concerns. This is actually a result of the way Windows handles files. The cache file gets created on the client using the Windows CreateFile() command. This command will create the file but not initialize it. Due to the large size of the file, we don't bother initializing the empty data blocks in it as this can take an appreciable amount of time. On NTFS machines, files created with this method happen to have the property of appearing empty (initialized to zero) but for FAT32 machines, it shows up as whatever old data was sitting on drive in the sectors that just got allocated for the cache. The people that are reporting this behavior are actually seeing old data from their hard drives. It's never uploaded or even looked at by the client. Eventually, as they download more data, it gets written over.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
