Privacy Policy
What data is collected and your rights.
Last updated: December 28, 2025
GameHazards is a personal site run by me (Mercer) at gamehazards.com. This page explains what data is collected, how it's used, and your rights.
What I Don't Collect
Unlike most websites, I keep things simple:
- × No user accounts or registrations
- × No comment sections that require login
- × No social login integrations
- × No personally identifiable information stored on the server
There's an optional newsletter. If you subscribe, your email is stored securely and used only to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
What Is Collected
Third-party services used on this site may collect anonymous data:
Advertising (Google AdSense)
I 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
I may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the site (pages visited, time spent, etc.). This helps me know which hardware or gaming topics interest readers most. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
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 I don't collect personal data directly, most requests would need to go to Google for ad-related data. For any privacy concerns, reach me at Loading...
Third-Party Links
My articles link to external sites (such as news sources and official manufacturer announcements). These sites have their own privacy policies. I am not responsible for their data practices.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, contact me immediately.
Changes to This Policy
I 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.
