Privacy Policy

Overview

GameVize is operated from the United States. This policy explains the information processed when you browse the service, create an account, save games, configure alerts, comment on news, submit reports, or follow links to stores.

Information we process

• Account details such as email address, display name, verification state, and authentication records.
• Session and security data such as IP address, user agent, login token, timestamps, and request logs.
• Saved preferences, pricing region, Wishlist, Collection, alert settings, and notifications.
• If you enable device notifications, a browser-issued push endpoint, encryption keys, enabled notification categories, consent time, and delivery-failure state associated with your account and device.
• Catalog reports and their associated accounts; news comments and replies, their displayed account names and timestamps, comment upvotes, and private comment reports linked to reporter accounts.
• Country-level ingress information used to select an available pricing region.
• Aggregate game-page views and store-link clicks used to understand game interest and improve discovery. Limited request information may be used temporarily to reduce duplicate activity.
• Aggregate website usage and performance information from Cloudflare Web Analytics, such as page paths, referring sites, approximate location, browser or device characteristics, timestamps, and performance measurements.
• Technical browser storage described in the Cookie Notice.

How we use information

• Provide accounts, saved-game features, regional prices, alerts, and support.
• Deliver optional notifications to devices on which you explicitly enable them.
• Secure the service, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and maintain availability.
• Measure aggregate traffic and game interest and improve catalog ordering, usability, and performance.
• Review user-submitted catalog accuracy reports and keep an administrative audit trail.
• Publish comments and replies on live news articles, show upvote counts, send optional in-app reply notifications, and review reports or moderate discussions to keep them safe.
• Meet legal obligations and enforce service policies.

News comments

If you comment or reply on a published news article, your text, displayed account name, posting date, and comment upvote count are public. Individual votes and comment reports are not shown to other readers. Reply notifications appear only in your private in-app inbox and can be turned off in Settings; they are not sent by email or device push. Staff may hide comments and retain moderation records for safety and accountability. Do not include personal information you do not want made public.

Legal bases

Where European or UK data protection law applies, processing is based as appropriate on performance of the service you request, legitimate interests in operating and securing GameVize, compliance with legal obligations, or consent where the law requires it. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Service providers and store links

Cloudflare provides content delivery, security, and privacy-focused Web Analytics services for GameVize. Cloudflare processes the network and website measurement information needed to provide those services. GameVize uses the resulting aggregate reports to understand traffic and performance, not for behavioral advertising, cross-site tracking, or individual visitor profiles. Other hosting, backup, authentication, and email providers process limited information on our behalf.

When device notifications are enabled, the applicable browser push service operated by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, or another browser vendor receives the encrypted delivery request needed to reach that subscription. GameVize does not use a push subscription for advertising or enable new optional notification categories without your choice.

When you follow a store link, the destination receives the normal information associated with a web request and applies its own privacy policy. Some destinations are affiliate links, as described in our Affiliate Disclosure.

GameVize does not sell personal information for money and does not currently use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising through the application.

Retention and security

Information is retained for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain security and audit records, and preserve backup integrity. Retention varies by record type. We use technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to appeal or complain to a data protection authority. You can clear browser storage in your browser and change saved account preferences within GameVize. Device notifications can be disabled in account settings or browser settings without deleting in-app notification history.

International processing

GameVize is operated from the United States, so information may be processed in the United States and other countries used by service providers. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
