Effective Date: July 20, 2025
Introduction
Gamesbie (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our gaming blog (the “Website”). It applies to information collected through Gamesbie.com and any communications you have with us via the site (such as contact forms or email).
Please read this policy carefully. By using our Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies, please do not use the Website.
No Account Requirement: We do not offer user accounts or login features on Gamesbie. You can browse and enjoy our content without registering an account. The personal information we collect is limited to what you voluntarily provide (for example, when you contact us via a form or email) and what is collected automatically through cookies and third-party services as described below.
Information We Collect
We collect two types of information: information you directly provide to us, and information collected automatically when you use our site.
- Information You Provide: If you contact us through our contact form or via email, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any other information you include in your message. This information is provided voluntarily by you and will be used solely to correspond with you and address your inquiries or feedback. (For example, if you email us with a question, we will use your email address to reply.) We do not collect any login credentials or payment information, since our site does not require account registration or offer transactions.
- Information Collected Automatically: Like many websites, Gamesbie and its service providers (such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense) may collect certain information automatically when you visit the site. This includes technical data and usage information such as:
- Usage Details: Your IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visits.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and related tracking technologies to enhance your experience and analyze how the site is used. These technologies help remember your preferences and gather aggregate data about site traffic and user interactions. Please see the Cookies and Tracking Technologies section below for more detail on how these work.
This automatically collected data generally does not directly identify you by name. It is used in aggregate form to help us understand our audience and improve our Website’s functionality.
For instance, we use analytics data to see which blog posts are most popular, and we use cookies to remember if you’ve seen certain notices so as not to show them repeatedly.
We do not combine this usage data with any personal information you might provide, except as needed to ensure site security and functionality.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes in order to operate and improve Gamesbie, as well as to communicate with you when necessary. Specifically, we may use your information in the following ways:
- To Operate and Maintain the Site: We use data to ensure our Website functions correctly and to maintain the quality of our content and services. For example, understanding which pages are visited most helps us organize the site effectively.
- To Respond to Inquiries and Communications: If you contact us via a form or email, we will use your provided information (e.g. email address) to reply to your questions, feedback, or support requests.
- To Improve Our Content and User Experience: Information about how users interact with our site (via Google Analytics insights) helps us learn what content is useful and how to make the user experience better. This may include analyzing which topics readers enjoy or how users navigate the site so we can optimize layout and content.
- To Serve Personalized Advertisements: We display advertisements through Google AdSense, which helps keep our content free. The data collected (via cookies and browsing history) allows these ads to be tailored to be more relevant to you. For instance, if you have been reading about a particular game genre, you may see ads related to that genre.
- To Protect Against Fraud and Security Issues: We may use certain data (like IP addresses or user-agent information) to help detect and prevent malicious activities, spam, or other security risks on our Website. This helps keep Gamesbie a safe environment for all users.
- To Comply with Legal Obligations: In rare cases, we might need to use or disclose information to comply with a legal requirement or to enforce our terms of service (for example, responding to lawful requests by public authorities).
No Selling of Personal Data: Importantly, we do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties Any information you provide is used only for the purposes described above.
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers only to the extent necessary to operate our site (for example, sharing anonymized traffic data with analytics services, as described below, or using an email service to send you a response).
In all such cases, these partners are obligated to keep your information confidential and use it solely for the services we’ve requested. We do not share your personal information for third-party marketing purposes.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies (Google Analytics and AdSense)
We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience, understand how visitors use our site, and show relevant ads.
- Google Analytics helps us track visitor activity, such as which pages are visited and how long users stay. This data is anonymous and used only to improve our site.
- Google AdSense displays ads based on your interests. It uses cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history. These ads support our site.
- Other Cookies may remember your preferences, like dark mode or form inputs. We do not use any other third-party tracking tools.
You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some features but won’t prevent you from reading content. By using our site, you consent to the use of cookies as described.
Third-Party Links and Services
Gamesbie may include links to other websites like gaming blogs or news sites. Once you click on a third-party link, you’ll leave our site—and our privacy policy no longer applies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.
We also use trusted third-party services like Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These services may collect anonymous data as explained earlier and are governed by Google’s own privacy policies.
We do not share your personal information with other third parties unless legally required or needed to protect our rights.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information and keep it secure. Our Website is likely equipped with security features such as HTTPS encryption (to secure data in transit between your browser and our site) and other safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure of data.
We also limit access to personal information to those on our team who need it to perform their duties (for example, responding to inquiries).
However, please understand that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. Cyber threats evolve quickly, and despite our efforts, no website or database is completely immune to potential security breaches. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will take appropriate steps to investigate and inform users as required by applicable law.
We encourage you to also take steps to protect your own information. Use strong, unique passwords for your email and other accounts, and do not share sensitive personal details in communications unless necessary.
Remember that we will never ask for your passwords or sensitive financial information.
Children’s Privacy
Our content is intended for a general audience of gaming enthusiasts and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years old. If you are under 13, please do not use or provide any information on this Website – this includes not submitting your name, email, or any messages to us.
In the event that we discover we have received personal data from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete such information from our records.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under 13 may have provided personal information to Gamesbie, please contact us as soon as possible (see the Contact Us section below). We will take swift action to remove the data and refrain from any further communication with the minor.
(For residents of certain jurisdictions with higher age thresholds for data consent (such as 16 in some regions), we similarly will honor those requirements. We encourage parents to supervise their children’s online activities and teach them about safe Internet practices.)
Your Consent
By using our Website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, you should discontinue use of Gamesbie. Remember that continuing to use the site after any changes to this policy are posted will signify your acceptance of those changes.
Changes to This Policy
We may update or change this Privacy Policy from time to time. As our blog evolves or as laws and regulations change, we might make modifications to ensure we remain compliant and transparent about our practices. When we make changes to this policy, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top and post the revised policy here.
Minor updates may be made without specific notice, but for any significant changes in how we handle your personal data, we may provide additional notice (such as a banner on the site or an announcement).
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of Gamesbie after any changes to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the changes and your agreement to be bound by the updated policy.
