Privacy Policy

How GameGrid collects, uses, and protects your information.

This Privacy Policy describes how GameGrid ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use our website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

We keep this policy short, plain, and honest. We do not sell user data and we do not try to learn more about you than we need to.

What we collect

GameGrid itself does not require an account, and we do not directly collect personally identifiable information from visitors. However, when you visit the site, the following information is automatically processed:

  • Standard server logs, which include your IP address (truncated where possible), your user agent, the URL you requested, and the timestamp of your visit. We use this only to keep the site secure and stable.
  • Cookies and local storage placed by us or our partners (see below). These are used for things like remembering whether you have already dismissed the cookie banner.
  • Information sent to third-party game services when you launch a game — for example, the GamePix iframe will negotiate its own session with their servers, independent of GameGrid.

GameGrid itself does not run a first-party analytics product. We rely on aggregated server logs and on whatever reporting our advertising partner exposes.

Third-party advertising and cookies

GameGrid displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to serve and measure ads across the web. They may use this information to:

  • Show you ads based on your prior visits to GameGrid or to other websites.
  • Limit the number of times you see a particular ad.
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalised ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google's Ads Settings page, and you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.

For full details on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, please see Google's privacy and terms.

We may also display ads served directly by GamePix or its partners inside the embedded game frames. Those ads are subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers.

Cookies in detail

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. GameGrid uses two categories:

  1. Strictly necessary cookies and storage — required for the site to function (for example, to remember that you have already dismissed the consent banner, or your "Phone-friendly" filter choice). These cannot be disabled without breaking parts of the site.
  2. Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and (where applicable) GamePix to deliver and measure ads. See the previous section for opt-out information.

You can clear cookies at any time using your browser settings. Doing so will reset any preferences GameGrid had remembered.

Your rights under GDPR (EU/UK visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent UK legislation grant you the following rights regarding personal data we process about you:

  1. Right of access — you may ask whether we hold data about you and obtain a copy of it.
  2. Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  3. Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") — you may ask us to delete your data, subject to legal retention obligations.
  4. Right to restriction of processing — you may ask us to limit how we use your data while a request is being resolved.
  5. Right to data portability — you may ask to receive the data you provided to us in a structured, machine-readable format.
  6. Right to object — you may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including any profiling for advertising.
  7. Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent (for example, advertising cookies), you may withdraw it at any time by clicking "Decline" in the cookie banner or clearing your browser storage.

The data controller for GameGrid is the GameGrid editorial team. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

Notice for California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you the following rights:

  • Right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the sources, the business purpose, and the categories of third parties we share it with.
  • Right to delete personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Right to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.
  • Right to limit use of sensitive personal information.
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of Google AdSense and similar advertising partners may qualify as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. You can opt out by clicking "Decline" in the cookie banner, which will prevent the AdSense script from loading on your visit. Clearing your browser storage will reset that choice. You may also opt out at the browser level by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honour where technically feasible.

To submit a "do not sell or share my personal information" request, or any other CCPA right, contact us via the Contact page. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

Children's privacy

GameGrid is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us via the Contact page so we can delete it.

Data retention and security

We retain server logs for no more than 90 days, after which they are aggregated or deleted. We use standard transport security (HTTPS) and reasonable industry practices to protect the limited data we hold. No site can promise absolute security, but we do not store any sensitive personal information that could meaningfully be at risk.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last revised" date at the bottom of the page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
