Thank you for visiting Gatherround. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide. If you contact us, we receive the details you choose to send (such as your name, email address, and message).
Automatic technical data. We and our partners may receive technical information when you visit, such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP. This helps us operate, secure, and improve the Service.
Game and session data. We do not require an account to browse or play. Notes you add on game detail pages are stored only in your browser’s local storage for that device and are not uploaded to our servers unless we clearly state otherwise in the future.
Ratings you see. Star ratings shown on game cards are generated for discovery and are not official app store ratings. They may be stored locally in your browser to keep scores consistent during your visit.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our advertising and analytics partners may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to:
- Remember preferences and keep the Service working;
- Measure traffic and site performance;
- Deliver, personalize, and measure advertisements.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features or ad delivery.
3. How we use information
We use information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the game catalog and site experience;
- Respond to support requests and enforce our Terms of Service;
- Monitor security, fraud, and abuse;
- Display advertising and understand how the Service is used;
- Comply with legal obligations.
4. Advertising and analytics partners
We work with third-party ad networks and analytics providers (for example, Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager, and/or Google Analytics when enabled on your deployment). These partners may collect or receive information from your browser or device to provide measurement, personalization, or advertising, subject to their own policies.
Learn how Google uses data from partner sites at Google’s partner sites policy. You can manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings and review Google’s privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Where required by law, we label paid placements as advertisements on the Service.
5. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:
- With service providers who help us operate the Service (hosting, analytics, advertising);
- When required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security;
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, with notice where required by law.
6. Third-party games and links
Games may be hosted by third parties and may set their own cookies or request permissions inside the player. External sites linked from the Service have separate privacy practices. We encourage you to review their policies before sharing personal information.
7. Data retention
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Support messages are kept for a reasonable period to resolve inquiries and maintain records.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
9. Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
10. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information, or to object to processing. To exercise these rights, email support@test.com or use our contact form. We may need to verify your request.
California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not sell personal information as defined by those laws.
EEA/UK users may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
11. International visitors
If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we or our partners operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated where required by law.
