Privacy Policy

GameRots ("GameRots," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit GameRots.com, play our games, or otherwise interact with our products and services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways depending on how you interact with us.

Information You Provide Directly

• Contact and account data: name, email address, company name, and any message content when you use our contact form, sign up for a newsletter, or create an account.
• Player profile data: username, avatar, friends lists, in-game preferences, and other information you provide when playing our games.
• Support communications: the content of any support request, including attachments you choose to send.
• Payment information: if you purchase a game or in-game item through a storefront (e.g. Steam, PlayStation Store, the App Store), that storefront processes your payment. We receive only transaction confirmation data, not your full payment details.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device and technical data: IP address, device identifiers, operating system, browser type and version, language preference, and hardware specifications.
• Gameplay and telemetry data: session length, progression, in-game events, performance metrics, crash reports, and feature usage. This helps us diagnose bugs and improve game design.
• Usage data on the website: pages visited, referring URL, time spent, and click behavior.

Information From Third Parties

• Storefronts and platform services: such as Steam, Epic, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Nintendo, Google Play, or the App Store — we may receive your account ID, entitlements, and aggregate purchase data.
• Analytics and advertising partners: aggregated or pseudonymous information about how players find and interact with our games.
• Social logins: if you choose to log in via a third-party service, we receive the profile fields you authorize.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve our games, website, and related services.
• Create, authenticate, and manage player accounts and save data.
• Provide multiplayer functionality, matchmaking, leaderboards, and community features.
• Respond to inquiries, support requests, and business communications.
• Diagnose bugs, investigate abuse, and prevent cheating, fraud, and unauthorized access.
• Analyze gameplay and site usage to improve design and performance.
• Send marketing communications, newsletters, or product updates (only where you've opted in, and you can unsubscribe at any time).
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

• Contractual necessity — to provide services you request (e.g. running our games, delivering purchases).
• Legitimate interests — to secure our services, prevent fraud, and improve our games, balanced against your rights.
• Consent — for optional cookies, marketing emails, and similar uses; you may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation — to comply with applicable law, including tax, consumer protection, and data protection requirements.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described below:

• Service providers: vendors that help us host our services, process payments, send email, analyze usage, provide customer support, and prevent fraud. They are contractually limited to using your information only to perform services for us.
• Platform partners: storefronts and console networks where required to operate multiplayer, achievements, entitlements, or cross-progression.
• Other players: your username, avatar, gameplay stats, and public profile elements may be visible to others in multiplayer or community features.
• Legal and safety: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of GameRots, our players, or the public.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to customary confidentiality protections.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to operate the site, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and, with your consent where required, for marketing. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods depend on the type of information and the context in which it was collected. When no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Delete your information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Port your information to another service.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at wickedsunny1@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

10. International Transfers

GameRots operates globally, and your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Services or by email. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
