Our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data depends on the context in which we collect it:
We use your information to:
GameZany may share your data in the following circumstances:
GameZany may transfer your data to countries outside of your own jurisdiction, including the United States and other regions where our partners operate. These transfers are conducted with appropriate safeguards in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under the GDPR or equivalent agreements. We ensure that your rights and protections travel with your data through binding agreements and industry-standard security practices.
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. If your account remains inactive for an extended period, we may archive or delete your data, if we give you prior notice, whenever possible. You can also request the deletion of your account and data at any time, if you wish. In some instances, data may be retained in a depersonalized or aggregated format for statistical or research purposes.
We also periodically review all records and data logs to determine whether they are still necessary to retain. In some instances, backup systems may retain deleted records for a limited time due to system architecture, though such data will not be actively processed.
Under applicable privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA, you may have the following rights:
To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to all requests within one month, or as required by applicable law. For security reasons, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your requests. If we deny a request, we will provide our reasoning and explain any applicable legal exemptions.
GameZany does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from users under the age of 13 (or under the age applicable in your jurisdiction). If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete the data. For any services directed toward children, we maintain a separate and compliant privacy policy with additional protections. We encourage parents to supervise their children’s use of online services and to educate them about safe internet practices.
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, personalize content, and manage advertising. Our cookie policy explains how and why we use cookies:
You may manage your cookie preferences through the banner presented on your first visit or by adjusting your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features. You may also withdraw your cookie consent at any time using the 'Cookie Settings' option located in the footer of our website.
Additionally, we participate in recognized consent frameworks that enable users to control third-party data tracking in a centralized and transparent manner.

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These include encryption, access controls, monitoring, and contractual safeguards with partners. While no system is completely secure, we continuously evaluate and improve our security protocols. We also educate our team members on best practices for privacy and conduct periodic reviews to ensure compliance.
Security measures include regular vulnerability scanning, encrypted data storage, strict access permissions for sensitive information, and ongoing compliance checks with relevant data protection frameworks such as the GDPR and CCPA.

If you are a California resident, you can submit a request through our designated request form or by emailing us. We may need to verify your identity before you complete your request. Authorized agents may also act on your behalf, provided that they present valid written authorization.
California users may also review a dedicated CCPA section within our account settings or cookie banner, where they can manage preferences and opt out of tracking, as applicable.
Our platform may include links to third-party websites, plugins, or applications. Clicking on these may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties and recommend that you read their respective privacy policies.

When you engage with these third-party tools or services, please be aware that their terms and privacy standards may differ from ours. Always review their privacy disclosures before sharing any personal data.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other operational needs.

In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, GameZany will act promptly to mitigate the impact and notify you in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We will assess the scope and severity of the breach, identify affected users, and communicate with them through appropriate channels, such as email or in-site notifications.
Our incident response team is trained to handle such situations with urgency and transparency. If necessary, we will coordinate with regulatory authorities and third-party cybersecurity firms to investigate and address the breach. We are committed to maintaining your trust and will let you know as we resolve any such incident.
As part of our ongoing commitment to data privacy, GameZany regularly performs Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for new projects and features that may involve significant risks to personal data. DPIAs help us evaluate privacy implications in advance and ensure that our practices remain compliant with relevant data protection regulations such as the GDPR.
Through DPIAs, we assess how data is collected, stored, and processed, identify potential privacy risks, and implement measures to mitigate those risks. This proactive approach ensures that user rights remain at the forefront of our development process, reinforcing our responsibility as a trusted digital platform.
We believe that privacy policies should be understandable, accessible, and transparent. That’s why this policy is written in plain language and published prominently on our website. If you require additional clarification on any section, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
We are continually working to enhance our communication about data use, enabling you to make informed choices. As privacy laws evolve, we will update this document to reflect new standards, ensuring you are always aware of your rights and our responsibilities.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or in connection with this policy will be resolved through the appropriate legal channels in the courts of the United States.
