Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how [gamestormportal.com] (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your information when you visit our website, accessible from [your website URL]. Your privacy is critically important to us.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

a) Information You Provide to Us

  • Comments: When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
  • Contact Forms: If you contact us through a contact form, we will collect your name, email address, and any other information you provide in your message.

b) Information We Automatically Collect

  • Cookies: Like many websites, we use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
  • Log Data: When you visit our website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes:

  • To operate and maintain our website.
  • To improve your experience on our website.
  • To respond to your comments or inquiries.
  • To analyze website usage and understand our audience through services like Google Analytics.
  • To protect, investigate, and deter against unauthorized or illegal activity.

3. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise rent your personally identifiable information to others. We may use third-party service providers to help us operate our business and the site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or analyzing site traffic.

This website uses Google Analytics to track website usage. Google Analytics provides us with information about user activity, such as session duration, pages per session, and the city from which users access the site. This data is aggregated and anonymized. You can learn more about Google’s Privacy Policy here.

5. How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

6. Your Data Rights (GDPR)

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

7. Children’s Information

Our website does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. If a parent or guardian believes that our website has personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 16 in its database, please contact us immediately at [your contact email], and we will use our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
