Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 26, 2024
GameHazards ("we," "us," or "our") operates gamehazards.com. This page explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
The short version: We don't have user accounts. We don't collect your email, name, or personal information. We use cookies for ads and analytics—that's it.
What We Don't Collect
Unlike most websites, we keep things simple:
- No user accounts or registrations
- No email collection or newsletters
- No comment sections that require login
- No social login integrations
- No personally identifiable information stored on our servers
What We Do Collect
We use third-party services that may collect anonymous data:
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We display ads through Google AdSense to support the site. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ads Settings.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, etc.). This helps us know which hardware or deal topics interest you most. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
Affiliate Links
When we link to game deals or hardware retailers, some links may be affiliate links. Clicking these may set cookies on the retailer's site to track that you came from us. We only earn a commission if you make a purchase—clicking alone doesn't share your data with us.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Here's what's used on this site:
| Type | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising | Display relevant ads | Google AdSense |
| Analytics | Understand site usage | Google Analytics |
| Preferences | Remember your cookie choice | GameHazards (localStorage) |
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking cookies may affect ad personalization but won't break the site.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access – Know what data is collected about you
- Delete – Request deletion of your data
- Opt-out – Decline personalized advertising
- Portability – Get a copy of your data
Since we don't collect personal data directly, most requests would need to go to Google for ad-related data. For any privacy concerns, contact us at support@gamehazards.com.
Third-Party Links
Our articles link to retailers (Steam, Epic Games, Amazon, Newegg, etc.) and news sources. These sites have their own privacy policies. We're not responsible for their data practices—check their policies before making purchases.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as needed. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.
