Privacy Policy
GameGuideHub ("we", "our", "the network") operates gguidehub.com and a network of independent game guide sites hosted on its subdomains (together, the "Sites"). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit the Sites, how it is used, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
The Sites are static, read-only guide pages. We do not operate user accounts, comment systems, newsletters, or contact forms that store submissions, and we do not directly collect personally identifiable information such as your name or email address.
Like almost all websites, limited information is processed automatically when you visit:
- Server logs — IP address, browser type, referring page and timestamps, processed by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and operations.
- Analytics data — aggregated, pseudonymous usage statistics (pages viewed, approximate region, device type) via Google Analytics, used to understand which guides are helpful.
- Advertising data — cookies and similar technologies used by our advertising partners, described below.
2. Cookies and Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on the Sites. This is how the guides stay free.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to the Sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
For more information on how Google processes data when you use sites that use its services, see Google's Privacy & Terms for partner sites.
3. Analytics
We use Google Analytics to measure traffic in aggregate. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes pseudonymous identifiers. You can prevent this by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.
4. Data Retention and Security
We do not maintain user databases. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited operational period. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to Google's own policies. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but as we collect almost no personal data, your exposure is minimal.
5. Third-Party Links
The Sites link to third-party websites (for example Steam store pages). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
6. Children's Privacy
The Sites are intended for a general gaming audience and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
